There is a second 6.5-inch screen with both, touch and conventional operations for the infotainment system. The dash and seats are trimmed in leather.

The California T is powered by a 3,855cc, turbocharged, V8 engine, which is mounted low on the chassis and in a mid-front position. The engine produces 552 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 755 Nm of torque @ 4,750 rpm. Ferrari claims that the California can touch 100 kph from a standstill in 3.6 seconds and attain a top speed of 316 kph.

Ferrari has equipped the California T with driver aids such as traction control and a carbon-ceramic braking system with ESP and ABS. Ferrari claims a 100-0 kph stopping distance of 34 m for the car.
