Grand touring with the sky overhead
Drive a California T
The Ferrari California T pairs twin-turbo V8 power with a folding hardtop and room for four. A Ferrari California T rental on Turo puts the most approachable Ferrari grand tourer in your hands for a weekend or longer.
The California T is a 2+2 Ferrari grand tourer with a folding hardtop and a front-mid twin-turbo V8. It's the approachable side of the prancing horse, with the comfort for long days and the pace for open roads. If you've been eyeing a Ferrari rental, this is a confident place to start.
On Turo, you book your California T from a local vehicle owner on the car rental marketplace. You arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans.

Turbocharged V8 power, tamed for the road
The California T delivers big turbo power with almost none of the wait. Its 3.9L twin-turbo V8 uses Variable Boost Management, designed for virtually zero turbo lag, with torque delivery that varies by gear. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sends that power to the rear wheels.
Retractable hardtop for open-air drives
The California T's retractable hardtop takes you from closed coupe to open-top cruiser in 14 seconds. Keep the roof up for a cool morning on the coast, then drop it for golden-hour sun on the way home. It's two cars in one, and you choose the mood.
The tradeoff lives in the trunk. You get 12 cu ft of cargo space with the roof up and 8.5 cu ft with it down. Soft-sided bags squeeze into tight spaces, so pack light if you plan to keep the sky overhead all day.
2+2 cabin with Turbo Performance Engineer
The California T seats four in a 2+2 layout. The rear seats work best for short trips or as extra room for bags. That makes it an easy pick for a couple with luggage or a quick dinner run with friends.
Up front, the Turbo Performance Engineer puts the engine's story on a touchscreen display. It shows boost, response, and efficiency, so you can see exactly how the twin-turbo V8 is working. It's a fun window into the car's character (just save the deep dive for when you're parked).
Stand out with a California T
The California T is an approachable, everyday-capable Ferrari grand tourer that turns weekend coastal drives, anniversaries, and celebrations into occasions. Rated at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined, it's ready for a long scenic loop. Compare it with other exotic and luxury rentals on Turo to find the right car for your moment.
Top California T features
Pininfarina design lineage
Three features define the California T: its Pininfarina design lineage, its balanced front-mid layout, and the optional Handling Speciale package.
The California T wears Pininfarina styling, and the details reward a closer look. Out back, a triple-fence rear diffuser shapes the tail and hints at the performance underneath. Along the flanks, a side detail nods to the 250 Testa Rossa, a name with deep roots in Ferrari history.
It's the kind of car that earns a second glance in a parking garage and a few questions at the valet stand. Take a slow walk around before you drive off. Spotting each detail is half the fun, and it makes the car feel like more than a set of specs.
Balanced front-mid layout
The California T's V8 sits in a front-mid position, and that placement shapes how the car feels from the first corner. The result is a 47/53 front/rear weight distribution, with slightly more weight over the driven rear wheels.
At 3,582 lbs dry, the California T carries the substance of a true grand tourer. Balance like this helps the car feel planted and predictable as you guide it through a sweeping coastal curve. For you, that means more confidence behind the wheel and more attention left for the view. It's balance you'll feel on a long highway stretch, too.
Handling Speciale option
Handling Speciale was a 2017 option that sharpens the California T's reflexes. It adds stiffer springs (16% front and 19% rear), faster dampers, quicker shifts in Sport mode, and a sportier exhaust. The package gives the grand tourer a crisper, more athletic edge.
Not every California T has it, so check the listing if a sharper feel matters to you. Without it, you still get the full grand touring experience: twin-turbo pace, a folding hardtop, and comfort for a long day behind the wheel. Either way, you're behind the wheel of a twin-turbo Ferrari that rewards every drive.
Top tips and things to know before renting a California T
Get to know your California T
A little prep helps you enjoy every mile of your California T trip. Know which version you're booking, how the roof affects your packing, and how pricing comes together.
Ferrari built the California T for model years 2014–2017. Its final model year was 2017, so any California T you find on Turo is a pre-owned classic of the recent era.
Check the listing to see whether the car you're eyeing has the Handling Speciale option. Planning a trip to the West Coast or South Florida? Start your search with Ferrari rentals in Los Angeles or Ferrari rentals in Miami.
California T driving tips
Keep these habits in mind when you take the wheel:
Give the hardtop its full 14 seconds to open or close before you set off.
Pack for 8.5 cu ft of trunk space if you plan to drive with the roof down.
Save the rear seats for short trips, since they're snug.
Ease into the throttle, since 557 lb-ft of torque arrives quickly.
How much does it cost to rent a California T?
