Spotted Ferrari CA in the cargo hold of a 747

[CL65 Captain]

Pictures speak for themselves.... coming to America (JFK) via B747.

 

[Tantheman]

Wow.

 

[DocL]

And even Ferrari is doing the retractable hardtop thing. Great looking car.

 

[TRM04]

VERY COOL!


Were these taken by you captain? :smile:

No, it's not a 599! It is the new for 2009 California. Notice the front grill and the hood scoop ala the 1960s original 250 GT California Spyder. It is also Ferrari's first retractable hardtop (the Super America only had a top that flipped backwards - it didn't stow). This is Ferrari's car, it isn't for sale yet.

now thats a plane to hijack!

Any other loadmasters here? Is it me, or is there not enough/adequate tiedown support, specially forward/aft. With any strap/chain you usually have support for 2 of 3 directions, fwd/aft, lateral, or vertical. Looks like it has vertical and lateral support , but not much forward/aft support.

CRAP. I thought I had everthing I want already and then they come out with new stuff I want. DAMN!!! Now I am going to have to get some money around to get one of those. Ehhhrrrr.


so how much is that anyways? That thing is HOT!! I just read the article in car and driver about this car. I love the hard top vert look.

I have to tell you that is one SERIOUS FUGLY machine. Easily the worst Ferrari in the last 20 years.

 

[NSXLuvr]

I'm sorry but that is not attractive. It is hard to tell which is front and which is the back. The back looks like a large mouth bass with its mouth open.

Not feeling it. But more Ferrari choices is always a good thing. Now - I just hope they don't start selling SUV's.

 

[steveny]

both of you are nuts. That thing is beautiful.

 

[NSXLuvr]

Steve,

Since you are such a good friend; I will take that F360 off your hand when you get the california.:wink:

 

[tosugrad]

I just projectile vomited in my mouth.

+1

It sounds beautiful, better than the Stradale and Scuderia in my opinion.

The clips can be heard here, go to the Hear section at the top. http://www.ferraricalifornia.com/webapp/

The beautiful wedge days ala 355 are through, get over it.

I just got off the phone with the Ferrari dealer. The car in these pictures is the show car for pebble beach. The California will not be available for purchase until the spring of 2010. The price will be less than the 430.

You really have no patience. Did you put down a deposit?

Naw they wouldn't take my money. :biggrin:

I need to build a bigger garage VERY soon. I have cars stored all over the place that I want to have here. Some of them are in the Restoration process and some have already been restored. My neighbor just passed away and I was going to buy her place and build something there but the neighbor on the other side beat me to it. He understands my plight as he has a full garage now and I think I may have him talked into selling me the place after the deal is closed with the neighbors daughter.

Well I would hope so, with that ugly design it has. The front end almost looks like a Celica.

 

[NSXAMG996TT]

Despite its looks, it'll most likey sell like hot cakes. When SL65s are selling over $200K, this Calfiornia may be a retractable hardtop bargain for the well-to-do.

 

[yojack1]

WOW! Wonder how much it costs to transport a car on a 1/2 empty 747!! I guess in their case it doesn't really matter.
