It isn't. The 8C is based on the Maserati Coupe/GrandSport chassis that dates back to the mid 1990's. It is pretty dated but cheap and easy for Alfa to develop into the limited production 8C. After Maserati decided to base the new coupe off the Quatroporte chassis, Ferrari appropriated the stillborn Maserati chassis for the California. The car is the least hardcore entry level Ferrari in quite some time. Some of the detailing looks funny in the pictures, but it should be a big hit with the McMansion crowd.
