Ferrari is updating the California coupe-convertible to be lighter and more powerful in 2012. With expected March delivery (don’t hold your breath), the new California will be upgraded to 483bhp and enhanced torque up to 373lb ft. Ferrari may have increased the horse power and torque, but the California will actually lose a few lbs, 30kg from the kerbweight, to be exact, which makes the California weigh in at about 1705kg. All thanks to new lighter aluminum alloys in the chassis.

Available only with a twin-clutch transmission, the new “Cali” looks pretty much the same on the outside. Inside though? The entertainment system, now on steroids, has a bigger hard drive (40GB), and it will sync with your iPhone 4 or Galaxy smartphones. In summary, the new Ferrari California is just plain badass.
