Performance Upgrades for Ferrari California T
With the introduction of turbocharging, the Ferrari California T brought a new character to the California line-up. Torque delivery, refinement, and daily comfort play a larger role — which also calls for a different approach to performance upgrades.
At BaanVelgen, we focus on upgrades that respect this balance. Instead of chasing extreme modifications, we highlight components that improve control, stance, and aesthetics while keeping the car perfectly usable for daily driving and long-distance touring.
One of the most popular enhancements for the California T is active exhaust valve control. With Capristo valve control, you decide when the exhaust valves open or close — allowing you to switch between a refined cruising sound and a more engaging exhaust note whenever you choose.
In addition, forged wheels play a key role in both performance and appearance. Lightweight forged designs reduce unsprung mass, improve steering response, and give the California T a more athletic stance without altering its refined character.
Key Upgrade Areas for the California T
- Exhaust valve control: Full control over exhaust sound behavior.
- Forged wheels: Improved stance, reduced weight, and sharper handling.
- OEM-compatible upgrades: Designed to integrate seamlessly with factory systems.
All products on this page are selected for proper fitment on the Ferrari California T and are available with worldwide shipping and expert support from BaanVelgen.
