Ferrari are teasing the ‘149M Project’ for a reveal on 12th February – and a debut at the Geneva Motor Show – which looks likely to be a revised Ferrari California.

Ferrari Project 149M will be revealed on 12th February 2014
It’s was 2012 when Ferrari updated their entry-level car – the Ferrari California – with less weight, more power and a handling package, and it looks like they’re about to do the same again.
The California has the internal product code ‘F149’ and Ferrari has a history of producing ‘Modificato’ or ‘M’ versions of their road cars to move the game on – think Ferrari 575M.
What seems most likely – apart perhaps from a few cosmetic tweaks – is that a revised California will get a new engine, and the likelihood is that it will be a modified version of the 3.8 litre V8 Ferrari produces for Maserati, which will mean a healthy boost from the California’s current 483bhp to something above 525bhp – and a turbo engine once again for a production Ferrari.
We’ll find out more in the next couple of weeks as Project 149M will be revealed on 12th February.
