New 2015 Ferrari California T Bi-Turbo V-8 with DCT..pics/article:
What do you guys think? Is this car a viable alternative to an AMG or Porsche? With its new bi-turbo V-8 and DCT and upgraded suspension, etc.. over the last California model, it should be much easier to tune and since a 454 HP California did 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, then this car with its 552 HP and 557 lb/ft of torque should be maybe a 3.0 flat car? Maybe in black with a nice set of forged rims it could look even better?

wonder what a tune would do?
What would a good tune and a few other bolt on upgrades do to this car's power output? Just wondering.....

Love the new engine & interior.. But wtf??
The body is actually worse than out going C6 Vette in that it doesn't look like a Ferrari at all
It looks like a C6 Vette w/Ferrari Euro body kit.. Seriously
WTH? They nearly copied C6 Vette wheels to a "T" as well as C6 Rear view mirrors, & the A Pillar etc etc etc??? Is this a joke orrr...

I agree, maybe the car needs a good aftermarket upgrade kit?
Maybe it just needs a really mean looking aftermarket upgrade kit, sort of like these pics below of the Ferrari F12 with aftermarket kits: (And one from the Lamborghini Aventador kit)

It will sell indeed,beauty and power in one package.
Previous model had no appeal to me aesthetically and after driving it (right after SL63) left me wanting for more power.
This new one covers it all and the 7 year maintenance free helps it too.
Price reasonable also,vs Bentley or SL65.
