一辆神秘的法拉利加利福尼亚T测试车近日出现在西班牙南部,被谍照记者拍了个正着。第一眼看上去，这就是一辆加利福尼亚T美规车型，之所以这么说，是因为它的车身附带有强制安装的照明系统。但凑近仔细看，就会发现在前门乘客一侧有一条银色宽胶带从A柱下方一直向下延伸至轮拱底部，里面固定了一些线束。虽然整体上看，这是法拉利在西班牙测试美规车型，但实际情况似乎没这么简单。这款车很可能是传言中的法拉利入门级车型的早期测试车，该车计划于2020年底前发布，之所以采用加利福尼亚T的车身只不过为了掩人耳目。据说该车将搭载一台新开发的2.9升V6双涡轮增压引擎，功率达到373千瓦/500马力，扭矩596牛米，搭配手动变速器，在欧洲市场起价17.5万欧元（约合人民币144.5万元）。如果不是这样，或许是法拉利在测试新的V8双涡轮增压引擎，它将配备在明年发布的M458-T Italia上，功率预计达到499千瓦/670马力。法拉利已经宣布，未来降低油耗和二氧化碳排放量，计划在加利福尼亚T和其他车型搭载涡轮增压引擎，只有V12引擎仍采用自然进气式，同时计划推出混动系统。

 

Mysterious Ferrari California T test mule spotted in southern Spain

An interesting Ferrari California T test car was photographed in southern Spain recently.

 

At a first glance this appears to be a U.S.-spec Ferrari California T judging by the additional mandatory lighting but upon closer inspection we notice some duct tape hiding a few wires coming out of the hood near the right A-pillar. It's unusual to see an American specification vehicle testing in Spain but chances are underneath the familiar skin is something else.

 

This could turn out to be an early mule for Ferrari's rumored entry-level model scheduled to come out before the end of the decade. It is believed such a model will be powered by a newly developed V6 2.9-liter twin-turbo engine outputting somewhere in the region of 500 bhp (373 kW) and 596 Nm (440 lb-ft) of torque. It will reportedly come with a manual gearbox and should carry a starting price of 175,000 EUR.

 

If it isn't that, maybe Ferrari is testing their new twin-turbo V8 engine set to make an appearance in next year's M458-T Italia where it will deliver an estimated 670 bhp (499 kW). Ferrari has already announced plans to embrace turbocharging with the California T and other models will feature turbo in the years to come as a method to reduce Ferrari's carbon fiber footprint and also slash fuel consumption. Only their V12 will remain naturally-aspirated while hybrid systems are also in the works.
