Ferrari California T (2014) first official pictures

By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 12 February 2014 13:30 Any new Ferrari is a big deal in the car world, but this new Ferrari California T is extra-special. Not only have the Italians finally morphed the ugly duckling of the range into something rather sleeker, it's boosted by turbochargers. That's the reason for the 'T' suffix on the California T's name, and makes this the first forced-induction Ferrari since the iconic F40 supercar.

White is the most popular car color

Mazda's rotary engine stalled, not forgotten

Development of the next-generation rotary engine from Mazda Motor Corp., first unveiled three years ago, is making slow progress despite missing emissions targets. A top Mazda powertrain executive said today that the 1.6-liter rotary engine, called the 16X, is about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than the current rotary engine used in the RX-8 sporty car. In fact, the 16X so far performs slightly better than Mazda's standard two-liter gasoline engine, said Mitsuo Hitomi, general manager of the Japanese carmaker's powertrain division.
