2015 Ferrari California to use an upgraded version of Maserati's twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 - report.

Engines produces 530 HP (390 kW) and 710 Nm (524 lb-ft) of torque in the Quattroporte

New details are starting to emerge about the 2015 Ferrari California.

According to Motor Trend's sources, the car will use a twin-turbo V8 engine that is closely related to the Maserati Quattroporte's twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 that develops 530 HP (390 kW) and 710 Nm (524 lb-ft) of torque. There's no word on specifications but engine will reportedly be equipped with a number of unique components.

For comparison, the current California has a naturally-aspirated 4.3-liter V8 engine that develops 490 HP (360 kW) and 505 Nm (372 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph).

Besides getting a new engine, the California is slated feature aluminum body work and a power folding hardtop. We can also expect a new infotainment system that could be loosely based on Chrysler's UConnect system.

The California could be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show before going on sale late next year.
