A striking blend of performance, elegance, and everyday usability, this 2012 Ferrari California is presented in iconic Rosso Corsa over a beautifully tailored Tan leather interior. With just 11,852 actual miles, this exceptionally clean example offers an outstanding opportunity to experience one of Ferrari's most versatile and increasingly appreciated modern models.
Introduced in 2009, the California marked a significant evolution for Ferrari, combining traditional grand touring comfort with cutting-edge innovation. It was the first Ferrari to feature a front-mounted V8 engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, as well as the brand's first retractable hardtop convertible, delivering both open-air enjoyment and coupe-like refinement. Designed to be more approachable and user-friendly than mid-engine counterparts, the California broadened Ferrari ownership while maintaining the marque's unmistakable performance pedigree.
Power comes from a 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing exhilarating performance, seamlessly delivered through its lightning-quick dual-clutch transmission. Standard factory features included carbon-ceramic brakes, adaptive suspension, traction control systems derived from Ferrari's Formula One program, and a luxurious cabin trimmed in premium leather with modern infotainment integration, making it equally at home on spirited drives or long-distance touring.
In today's market, the California has emerged as one of the most underrated values in the front-engine Ferrari lineup. Offering a compelling combination of performance, reliability, and usability at an accessible entry point into Ferrari ownership, these models are increasingly recognized by enthusiasts as modern classics with strong long-term appeal.
This example is well-optioned with desirable features including Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, 19-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels, chrome front grille surround, power-adjustable seats, rearview camera with parking sensors, and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, enhancing both its visual presence and everyday usability.
Mechanically, the car has been properly maintained with recent service performed at Ferrari of West Palm Beach, Florida in October 2025. This work included replacement of the F1 transmission internal speed sensor and synchronizers, along with fresh Shell DCT fluid, ensuring optimal performance of the advanced dual-clutch system. Upon arrival to our facility in June 2026, the car was further prepared with the installation of new Pirelli P Zero rear tires.
Accompanying the vehicle are both original keys, owner's manuals, an accident-free CarFax report, and a factory battery maintainer, providing confidence and completeness for its next owner.
Combining low mileage, iconic Ferrari styling, modern usability, and a growing reputation among collectors, this 2012 Ferrari California represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained example of a model that continues to gain well-deserved recognition in the Ferrari hierarchy.
