After revealing the California T at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari today launched the car in India with a price tag of Rs. 3.45 crore. The Italian carmaker says it has already received 8 bookings so far the California T in the country - whose roads already have about 50 cars from the Prancing Horse. Aurelien Sauvard, Head of sales for Ferrari West Asia and Africa, said the company hopes to make deliveries over the next three-four months. Furthermore, Ferrari is also looking at selling about 20 cars this year in India. Sauvard added two cars, namely, the F12-Berlinetta and 458-Speciale, were delivered last week in the country. Fact check: The 'T' in Ferrari California T stands for turbo In a year that will see F1 turning to turbos, this car from the Ferrari stable was bound to get one. If we are correct, this is the first car after the famed F40 to get forced induction. The California T gets a new twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8, which churns out a healthy 553bhp and a whooping 755Nm torques. Zero to 100Km/h is despatched in only 3.6 seconds - you can thank the turbos for making the California T that quick.

Ferrari also goes ahead to say that there is virtually zero turbo lag and the engine is unbelievably responsive. The California T gets the latest version of Ferrari's 'magnaride' adaptive suspension, which reacts to bumps 50% faster than its predecessor. It also is the recipient of the newest F1-Trac traction control system - the same system that we've seen in the 458 Speciale. The California T bears resemblance to the F12 Berlinetta. It has a wider and deeper front grille and a cut from the middle of the door to the front wheelarch just makes you want to look at it in awe. It looks leaner, I can't say meaner but a world apart from its predecessor. Also Read: Most Expensive Cars Launched in India in 2015 Of course the top comes down and it'll be a breeze to drive.
