2009 Ferrari California
When the Ferrari California made its official debut earlier this month we were given a few details and about three pictures to drool over. Today Ferrari released a more detailed press release with some new pictures of the Ferrari California (some with the top closed). President Luca Di Montezemolo recently got behind the wheel of the California, taking several laps at the company’s Fiorano circuit. Of course he had nothing but good things to say about his company’s latest toy.
“I am very satisfied indeed with the work that the women and men of Ferrari have done,” said Montezemolo. “The California is an extraordinary car and I was delighted with the performance, comfort and driving pleasure it delivered.
So we already know that power comes from a 4.3 liter V8 producing 460-hp that is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. What new info did we learn? Well for one we learned the Ferrari California returns a combined fuel-economy of 18mpg. Oh we also learned that the retractable hard top that closes in just 14 seconds. And that’s about it. Now go drool over the new pics.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe SE
The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe SE was shown to the world recently in New York and the stunning silver color with amazing window treatment looks simply unbelievable.
There is no set figure for the cost of each Genesis but it has been said that it will be the cheapest 300HP coupe on the market when it hits in 2009. The engine will be able to power the Genesis from 0-60MPH in less than six seconds and the engine also uses lightweight techniques and products to make the engine more lightweight as well as thermal efficiency which helps keep the engine at a safe temperature.
There are some nice custom features included on the vehicle which include HID lights which are far better for night driving and seeing through bad weather, great stereo and audio system as well as great safety features. The vehicle shouldn’t cost much more then $30,000 - $40,000 when it’s released in 2010 and if there were any drawbacks I would say the interior could be improved quite a bit as it seems done cheaply. The 2010 Genesis is in production and the final prices and specs will be released as we near closer to the release of this wicked performance vehicle.
The 2010 Genesis will be a whopping 310HP and it will have the option of either a 4-cyl or V6. Whichever you choose won’t make a difference for the transmission as it comes with a six speed manual transmission on both models. The noise being talked around the release of this vehicle is the fact that it sends most of the power to the rear wheels making it super fast and great to control. It has custom Brembro brakes installed with each car. You can expect to see 19” rims on the car when you get it but that is easily customizable and will also make yours stand out amongst others.
