Have you ever thought “My 460 horsepower Ferrari just isn’t quick enough. You know what it needs…over 600 hp. That’s the ticket.” If so, you’re in luck. Novitec Rosso, the gods of Ferrari tuning, just developed a supercharger kit for the new Ferrari California. It’s no simple power bump either – the 4.3-liter front-mounted V8 in the California jumps from a solid 460 hp – more than enough for most – to a whiplash-inducing 606 hp. Torque grows from 485 Nm to 603 Nm too, which means you’ll be burning through some serious rubber if you’re not careful.

If you live in Japan and have the means, there are any number of enticing automobiles you can get domestically that aren't available elsewhere. Most of them are from Japanese automakers, though. But last week, we reported on the BMW Z4 Silver Top edition, and now Ferrari has joined the race with an exclusive offering of its own.

This Ferrari California Limited Edition is being offered exclusively by Cornes & Co, Ferrari's main importer in Japan for the past 30 years. Their latest limited edition starts with Maranello's first front-engined V8 convertible and upgrades it with special touches like carbon fiber rocker panels, door handles and fuel cap, and unique diamond-polished forged rims with red hubs and titanium nuts.

Ferrari California featuring HELE system

1:42 PM

The theme shown at this years Paris Motor Show, is automakers showing vehicles which don't seem to relate with the company's past history. Ferrari just added a vehicle fitted with a HELE system to the growing list. HELE means High Emotion Low Emissions and is a system designed to reduce C02 emissions.

The HELE System works by utilizing a start/stop function that can restart the car in 230 milliseconds, an intelligent engine fan and fuel pump control, electronically controlled variable displacement air-conditioning technology and adaptive gear shifts. The result is a 23 percent reduction in C02 emissions.

We may think that automakers are moving away from their traditional vehicles, but it's these cars that allow them to build the ones we love. For example, there would be no Porsche GT2 RS without the Cayenne. The Ferrari California fitted with the HELE System shows that the purveyor of the Prancing Horse understands the world is constantly changing – and Ferrari is doing its best to continue to build the cars it's known for while staying in tune with the current climate of the world.

The California represents a number of firsts for Ferrari:

* The first front engined Ferrari with a V8
* The first to feature a 7-speed dual clutch transmission
* The first with a folding metal roof
* The first with multi-link rear suspension
* The first with direct petrol injection.

According to some sources originally started as a concept for a new Maserati, the resulting expense to produce the car needed the Ferrari badge to justify the ideal return on the investment. The California represents a new, fourth model range for the company.
