2015 Ferrari California Replacement Spied Testing

A replacement for Ferrari’s California roadster has been spied testing near the company’s Maranello headquarters.

The mule pictured offers little insight into the new model’s styling though, largely hiding beneath the sheetmetal of the current California.

However, several visible detail changes support earlier reports of a new twin-turbo V8 drivetrain, which is expected to exceed the current model’s 365kW while delivering emissions and efficiency improvements over the current 4.3 litre naturally aspirated V8.

These detail changes include enlarged ducts in the front bumper - likely to feed air to twin intercoolers - and cobbled-up 458 model headlights that likely provide clearance for the intercoolers’ associated ducting.

At the rear, a new horizontally-stacked quad outlet exhaust system is visible, compared with the current model’s vertical arrangement.
