These are the first official pictures of Ferrari's newest model � and it has been confirmed that it will be called the California.
The California has a folding metal hard top and is powered by a 453bhp 4.3-litre V8 engine that Ferrari says will take the car from 0-62mph in less than four seconds. The car will feature a seven-speed semi-automatic gearbox and be rear-wheel-drive.
The engine is also Ferrari's cleanest yet, although kaftan-clad hippies won't be hugging the gates at Maranello, as it still emits 310g/km of carbon dioxide.
The seating arrangement is described a '2+', which means it will offer a little more practicality than a traditional two-seater.
Performance ceramic brakes will be fitted as standard, as will traction control, which has been developed from the F430�s �F1-Trac� system.
The car will be officially unveiled at the Paris motor show in October.
Prices haven�t been announced, but are expected to be around �150,000.
