Ferrari will reveal its new sporty beast soon, the 2018 Ferrari California T. The car is a 2+2 GT convertible and is the successor of the 2009 California version.  It also offers a brand new style on the exterior, but from the inside, it stayed as its predecessors.

The new Ferrari will be the most awaited car in the future. It is built with a sheet-metal, and also gets the facelift that is based on the F12 plan and concept. The rear and the front part will get some edgy hollow shape.

The interior design is nicely done, and with a lot of space, the car looks stunning. Seats and all other exposed parts are stitched with genuine soft touch leather. It's low and slim design of the center console gives the new car a spacious look and feel and also leaves a lot of space for the legs.

On its rear features, new exhaust with four exhaust tips are installed. It also has a similar triple-fence diffuser like that from the 599 GTO.

Under the hood, the 2018 Ferrari California T's engine is made entirely from aluminum. It's powered by a monstrous twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter direct-injected V8 engine that produces 553 hp at 7,500 rpm and 557 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm. The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph.

EPA fuel efficiency of the V8 engine is 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. It also comes with the ceramic Brembo brakes and traction control system inspired from the F1. This V8 engine is paired with a 7-speed automatic, or a 6-speed manual transmission will also be available.

The 2018 Ferrari California T is anticipated to launch at the end of 2017 or early 2018. Starting price for this beast is at $202,723. It will be taking on its rivals such McLaren 12C, Jaguar F-Type, Aston Martin Vantage, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, McLaren 650S, and the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.
