Spy photographers have managed to snap a second Ferrari model out testing in Italy at the Fiorano. This time, the disguised model is a California, out testing alongside the 599 successor<\/a> we reported on yesterday. Sources suggest that this Ferrari California is fitted with a turbocharger and could be hiding a series of performance enhancements and weight reductions.<\/p>\n The most notable difference between the car in these pictures and the standard Ferrari California are the NACA ducts fitted to the front nose. These ducts have historic significance, having been a distinguishing feature of the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO and the Ferrari F40. However, we don’t suspect that Ferrari will use the GTO moniker for this model. Other visible differences include a bulge on the passenger side of the vehicle and a mis-fitting bonnet.<\/p>\n
