Their names are Miya Li, Xiongmen Shi and Dichang Yu, and they represent the very small tip of the very large iceberg that is the California T’s burgeoning Chinese fan base. The V8 turbo is rapidly conquering the Asian market as The Ferrari Magazine, which is published on the eve of the Chinese GP, reveals in its interviews with these three owners. Miya Li, who is in fashion, uses her California T regularly in Shanghai and is impressed by how convenient it is in the city: “It’s perfect for driving my two-year-old daughter”. SBS Zipper Manufacturing Company chairman Xiongmen Shi, on the other hand, claims he fell in love with the California T on his first test-drive: “It’s my dream car!”. Lastly, although Shanghai industrialist Dichang Yu found the model’s lines attractive, it was the turbo engine that struck him most: “It’s also fuel efficient with low emissions, both hugely important factors for the Chinese market”.
