The long wheel base version has a long, elegant, hood and is 30 centimeters longer than the shorter version. While the short wheel base version of this Ferrari has a slightly wider stance and a little more power. Even according to Ferrari, it is difficult to tell the cars apart.

Both are powered by a 60-degree V-12 that displaced around 3-liters. The short wheel base version had 280 horsepower on tap at 7000 rpm. Both versions had luxurious interiors that made them rewarding cars for daily driving. Today, the legendary Ferrari California name lives on in current spyders.
