The entry level mass production Ferrari will retain its characteristic folding roof, but will feature several performance, visual and electronic updates. The California replacement will be lighter, with an all aluminium body and will have design elements borrowed from the F12berlinetta, as well as 458 Italia.
The outdated user interface is also expected to be replaced by a modern system, developed with the aid of tech giant Apple, with deep iOS/Siri integration.
