When you test drive a Ferrari, any new Ferrari, the drive review need not be long and tedious. Why, well its is a Ferrari and Ferrari buyers very very very rarely read a review before buying. The true buy decision comes from desire and with too much money sitting around in various bank accounts.
We were invited to take the latest California T which is a new turbocharged California for a quick spin and after a drive in city traffic and some highway running we only had Justin Timberlake’s latest tune, “Can’t stop this feeling” playing in our head for the rest of the day and some days after. With every Ferrari, the level of engineering (F1 racing technology is transferred to every single Ferrari and this is their major selling point) and commitment to driving pleasure ensure every car arrives to the showroom ready for excitement and drive dynamics that makes it a household desire globally.
Well after our test drive there was only one way best to describe this all new California T and we have done this with Timberlake’s latest tune, “Can’t stop this feeling” but we did change some of the lyrics to suit our drive and mood. The review/song/drive goes a little like this.
“I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavey when I turn on the ignition
All through my city, all through my home
We’re driving fast, no limits, when we’re in our zone
I got that sunshine all above me (top down)
Got that good soul in my feet (accelerator begging for more pressure)
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh (gears blip down a notch)
I can’t take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally (the tachometer)
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don’t stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I’m getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you drive drive drive
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just drive drive drive, come on
All those things I shouldn’t do
But you drive drive drive
And ain’t nobody leaving soon, so keep driving
I can’t stop the feeling
So just drive drive drive
I can’t stop the feeling
So just drive drive drive, come on
Ooh, it’s something magical
It’s in the air, it’s in my blood, it’s rushing on
Don’t need no reason, don’t need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I’m in my zone
‘Cause I got that sunshine up above me
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can’t take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don’t stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I’m getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you drive drive drive
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just drive drive drive, come on
All those things I shouldn’t do
But you drive drive drive
And ain’t nobody leaving soon, so keep driving”
