Maybe they should hire that Indian guy from Discovery channel who creates
'supercars' from old wrecks by cutting them up and shaping steel

Looks like they did.
Under the paint is 30 mm filler and then a 1976 Honda Prelude.

been published of the Ferrari California, the latest addition to the
new generation of Ferraris launched in 2004 with the 612 Scaglietti
and added to more recently with the 430 Scuderia.

The new model will be available exclusively as a convertible with a
folding hard top. Both ch***is and bodywork are aluminium, in line
with the rest of the current range. The California will be powered by
a new V8 engine mounted for the first time in the marque’s history in
the mid-front position.

> In line with Ferrari tradition, the new model also features
several innovations. Apart from its folding hard top, these include
the original 2+ concept which guarantees exceptional versatility of
use in the rear of the car. The California’s 4,300 cc V8 engine
features direct fuel injection and a “flat” crankshaft. It generates
460 CV at 7,500 rpm with a torque curve that enhances vehicle
dynamics and provides maximum driving pleasure which is typical for
Ferrari.

> As per the traditional Ferrari transaxle layout, the engine,
which allows the Ferrari California to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in
less than 4.0 seconds, will be coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch
transmission that boosts the car’s performance while enhancing the
driving pleasure, improves ride comfort and reduces fuel consumption
and emissions (c.310 g/km CO2). The comfort is further enhanced by a
new multilink rear suspension system. The Ferrari California is also
equipped with the exclusive F1-Trac traction control system which
made its debut on the 599 GTB Fiorano and has been further honed to
suit the typical driving conditions expected for this new GT. Brembo
brakes featuring carbon-ceramic material disks as standard guarantee
superbly efficient braking.

cabin has also been beautifully trimmed using quality materials by
Ferrari’s own skilled artisans. New accessories and equipment, such
as the seats, steering wheel, instrument panel and infotainment
system, together with optimised aerodynamics ensure that this is a
highly ergonomic and enjoyable car to drive regardless of whether the
top is up or down.

> The Ferrari California is aimed at owners who desire a car
which embodies everything the Prancing Horse represents in terms of
sporty design and innovation, but also seek a car with greater
versatility than ever. The car will be officially unveiled to the
public at the Paris International Car Show. However, over the coming
weeks, new photographs and further details about it will also be
published.

Bit by bit Ferrari is releasing more details and
info on its new California 2+ coupe-cabriolet model. This time the
Italian sports carmaker has revealed a short video displaying the
California’s retractable hardtop that can be deployed or retracted in
