Ferrari California
Despite its high tech underpinnings and advanced gearbox and design, the new Ferrari California is a traditional, front-engined grand tourer - the kind of car Ferrari makes best. It's metal folding roof is electrically powered, and stores neatly in the boot when open. With a 454bhp 4.3-litre V8 under the bonnet and a brand new seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission, the car is no slouch - yet it's still worth pointing out that this model majors on comfort and ease of driving... The frantic Ferrari theme is reserved for cars like the 458 and new 599. So popular is the Ferrari California that the order book is full for the first two years of production at least, Ferrari is confident it can score significant points against rivals such as Bentley and Aston Martin.

Ferrari 458
The Ferrari 458 is crammed with technology aimed at making it go as fast as possible around a race track and stunning to drive on a winding country road. But as well as clever traction control and a differential which was developed for Formula 1 racing, the 458 is very comfortable, quiet and easy to drive around town as it’s the first Ferrari ever to be made available only with a seven-speed twin clutch gearbox. The interior is a work of art, and features lots of scope for personalisation of the equipment and materials within. The 458 Italia is also one of the best-looking Ferraris ever made.
Ferrari 599
Ferrari's stunning 599 GTB, to give it its full name, can claim to be one of the world's most desirable GT cars. Powered by the same 6.0-litre V12 engine that first appeared in the limited edition Enzo supercar, it offers a 0-62mph sprint of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205mph. Beautifully designed, with distinctive butresses to support the rear windscreen, it's finely crafted interior offers comfortable seats and lots of hand stitched leather. A top of the range GTO version is also available, in very limited numbers.
Ferrari FF
The FF is a radical departure for Ferrari, as it's the first four-wheel-drive car that the Italian manufacturer has ever produced. It's powered by a 6.3-litre V12 engine and is capable of speeds over 200mph. The distinctive bodywork was designed by Pininfarina, and the FF offers levels of comfort and space which have never previously been seen in a Ferrari.
Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
The replacement for the Ferrari 599 GTB is here. The F12 Berlinetta is the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever made - producing 730bhp from its 6.3-litre V12 engine. Featuring a tweaked version of the Ferrari FF's seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, the F12 is capable of 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds and can reach a top speed of 211mph.
