The 2012 Ferrari California develops 460 horsepower from its 4.3 liter V8 engine, which is good enough to deliver a zero to 60 time of just under four seconds. The 2012 Ferrari California has a top speed of 193 mph.

First released as a 2009 model, the Ferrari California made its debut as Ferrari's first front-engined V8, and Ferrari's first-ever hardtop convertible. Despite an MSRP starting at $177,000 in late 2008, all of the Ferrari California's 5,000 annual units are reported to be spoken for until 2012. Current asking price $194,000. Damn! I should have bought in '08, but you know what happened to the market was in '08.

And so the legend grows...
