Got a $180,000 to spare? That's the starting price of an entry level Ferrari California T. With that kind of money you could pay off your credit card, buy land somewhere in the Golden State, of maybe even pay for a college degree. But when you take a look at the new 2015 Ferrari California T you can't help but dream a little. California dreamin'!  Be sure to catch the Pasadena Concorso Ferrari car show open free to the public in May.

So here's the goods on this car that's low to the ground, shiny as can be, and can purr or roar down Pacific Coast Highway:

• New V8 , 8-cylinder turbo engine: intense sound and vivid acceleration from a turbo-charged engine
• Torque up by 49% and fuel consumption down 15%
• Successful 2+ concept
• Retractable hard top (RHT) goes from coupe to spider in 14 seconds 
• Direct-injection, which translates into highest power output in its category
• Extraordinary acceleration 0- 100 km/h sprint in just 3.6 seconds 
• Guaranteed Ferrari engine sound achieved through flat-plant crankshaft and the three-piece cast exhaust manifold and turbo housing 
• Reduced steering wheel activity and improved steering response
• Next generation Magnaride dampers respond 50%faster
• The shape of the California T's flanks is inspired by the 250 Testa Rossa's famous pontoon-fender styling, with the front wing line stretching back towards the compact, muscular rear, bringing an aerodynamic sleekness and movement to the sides.
• Ferrari Styling Centre in collaboration with Pininfarina maintains Ferrari front-engined ethos
• Touch-sensitive surround scrolls through screens with information about engine  performance
• New high-resolution 6.5" screen featuring both tough-screen and conventional controls
• Two launch colours: Rosso California, an intense, deep new red inspired by classic Ferraris, and Blu California (like the Pacific Ocean)
