The 250 GT California Spider shared its underpinnings with the 250 GTO race car. The body was hand beaten out of aluminium. The exterior styling was based on the Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I which was designed by, none other than Pininfarina. You can spot the slight tweaks that have been made on the California Spider’s design.
Inside, the 250 GT California Spider isn’t what you call luxurious. The interior stripped off any unnecessary stuff, in a true sports car fashion. The heater is the only comfort feature that has been left untouched.
Under the neatly rolled hood is a naturally aspirated V-12 with single overhead cams and 2-valves per cylinder. The engine develops 222 horsepower from a total of 3.0-liter it displaces. The fuel system consists of a set of Weber Carburetors.
The longitudinally mounted V-12 engine delivers power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The car is able to accelerate to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds and has a 222.5 bhp, 2,953 cc overhead-camshaft Colombo V-12 with triple Weber carburetors, four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension via A-arms, coil springs, and telescopic shocks, rear suspension via live axle, semi-elliptic springs, and hydraulic shocks, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 102.4 in
