The Original Model: The Rebirth of a Legend
Unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari California T marked a new milestone in the evolution of Maranello's GT lineup. Replacing the atmospheric California, this model introduced a major technical revolution with the adoption of turbocharging, embodied by the "T" for Turbo in its name.
Under the hood, the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 developed 560 horsepower, allowing it to reach 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. This sophisticated engine was accompanied by a rigid retractable roof that could be stowed in just 14 seconds, transforming this coupe into a convertible with a simple gesture. The California T thus represented the culmination of Ferrari's art in versatile GT design.
Produced until 2018, it achieved a remarkable commercial success, appealing to an international clientele seeking a Ferrari suitable for daily use without compromising on performance. Its design, crafted by Pininfarina, and its versatility quickly made it a reference in the realm of Italian GTs.
Ferrari in 2014: Tradition and Innovation
In 2014, Ferrari was undergoing a pivotal period in its history. Under the leadership of Luca di Montezemolo and then Sergio Marchionne, the brand was preparing for its stock market introduction while revolutionizing its technical approaches. The arrival of turbocharging on the California T symbolized this transformation, as Ferrari temporarily abandoned natural aspiration to meet new environmental requirements.
Founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, Scuderia built its reputation on excellence in Formula 1 and the production of exceptional automobiles. The 2010s marked a deliberate diversification of the range, with models like the California T aiming to broaden the customer base without betraying the brand's sporting DNA. This strategy allowed Ferrari to maintain its status as the absolute reference in the world of Italian supercars.
The Anecdote: When the California Inspires Hollywood
The Ferrari California T left its mark well beyond the circuits and winding roads. In 2016, it became one of the automotive stars of Shane Black's film "The Nice Guys," embodying the Californian glamour of the 1970s, despite its decidedly modern design. This cinematic appearance perfectly illustrates Ferrari's ability to transcend eras.
Even more surprisingly, the California T has inspired an unusual culinary tradition in some upscale Italian restaurants. Star chefs in Milan and Rome have created a dessert called "California T," blending tiramisu and Californian citrus, served on a plate that replicates the car's lines. This culinary creation reflects the cultural influence that an exceptional automobile can exert.
The impact of the California T also extends beyond the traditional automotive realm. In 2015, the design university of Pasadena chose it as a preferred case study for its courses on contemporary Italian design evolution. Students analyze its proportions, volumes, and the harmonious integration of its retractable roof, elements that make it a model of aesthetic balance.
This Ferrari also marked the recent history of automotive collecting. In 2018, the last California T produced was sold at auction for a record amount, far exceeding its initial catalog value and confirming its status as an instant icon in the world of sporting convertibles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
