The long version

This was the car that reintroduced turbocharging to the Ferrari road-car lineup, a technical shift the marketing team spent real effort softening for a customer base raised on naturally aspirated shrieks. Purists treated the California nameplate as a punchline even before the T arrived, and the turbo engine gave them a second reason to keep the car at arm's length, regardless of how effortlessly it actually drove. That stigma shows up in the resale numbers: steady, unglamorous depreciation, the fate of an entry Ferrari bought by people who wanted the badge and the comfort more than the bloodline argument.
