The California opened Ferrari to a new kind of owner: a 4.3-liter V8 grand tourer with the marque's first retractable hardtop, first front-mounted V8, and first dual-clutch transmission. Purists sniffed at launch, but the car did exactly what Maranello intended, and many of its firsts became fixtures across the range. As the gateway V8 Ferrari of its decade, well-kept examples represent honest value today.
