The California T Finally Makes Sense—Prices Have Collapsed to Reality
The Ferrari California was designed by committee for people who wanted a Ferrari but also wanted it to be easy. Now that depreciation has done its work, you can actually find clean examples at prices that don't require selling organs. The F1-derived 4.3L V8 is still brutally competent, and the retractable hardtop solved a problem nobody asked for—but it's a Ferrari that drives like one.
The California T isn't a joke anymore because values have finally separated the car from the hype. It's what happens when Ferrari makes something for accountants, then accountants abandon it—and builders get to inherit the leftovers.
