Of course, the British bodywork shop can also be there GTO engineering no slouch, and is showing the third product in its revival range, a replica of the Ferrari California Spyder. According to the two models 250 SWB and 250 TRSo this is the British’s next contribution to the revival range of classic Ferrari models. And, of course, they are again handcrafted, only the finest materials are used, and care is taken to ensure that the quality of the replicas is so high that they cannot be distinguished from the classic original.

Depending on the donor vehicle, which by the way is from the customer even must be brought, the classic kit costs between 750.000 and 850.000 pounds sterling, and the first batch of kits will be handed over to solvent customers along with their donor vehicle in the course of the next year. This makes every continuation kit good 1.500 working hours devours, the company guarantees a quality that exceeds or is at least equal to the manufacturing quality of the plant in Maranello.
According to GTO Engineering, they want to pick up where the workforce in the Ferrari factory left off and thus offer a unique symbiosis of tradition, design and manufacturing quality that sets new standards. Taking into account that only 106 copies of the original Ferrari California Spyder, it quickly becomes clear that the lucky few collectors who own such a vehicle do not like to lend a hand or even tune their sweetheart. In contrast, the Continuation Car from GTO Engineering can easily be configured and modified as desired, and practically no customer requests remain unsatisfied. Because the body is made from hand-molded Aluminium exists are different Body shapes possible, and fans of classic automobiles can also choose from various leather upholstery that are available.
It is also possible to use a Wood Steering Wheels to be installed in the replica, just like an original Horn without two-channel sound. Another plus of the replica compared to the original is that it is significantly increased Torsional stiffness, whereby a sportier driving behavior can be generated than with the "real" California Spyder, which was only designed to stroll on the boulevard, but is less suitable for the racetrack.
There are three different motors to choose from.
