Ferrari officially unveils the Ferrari SF90 Stradale - A hyper hybrid with 986 HP / 800 NM. It’s the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever, and I really like the way it looks!
P.S: As per TopGear UK, this is not the replacement for the LaFerrari, which is only coming out in 2022.

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale, like the LaFerrari, is a hybrid. But unlike its predecessor, the SF90 packs a smaller gas engine, plug-in charging capabilities, all-wheel drive, and yes, even more horses. With a whopping 986 hp (735 kW), the SF90 is the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever produced.

The turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 produces 769 horsepower (573 kW) and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque alone. On its own, that makes it the most powerful V8-powered Ferrari to date. Ferrari then packs three lithium-ion powered electric motors – one located on the rear axle, and two located up front – in the SF90 Stradale, which produce an additional 217 hp (162 kilowatts), bringing the complete powertrain’s total output to 986 hp (735 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm).

All that power pairs to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and for the first time on a Ferrari sports car (not counting the GTC4Lusso), all-wheel drive. That allows the SF90 Stradale to sprint to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds, 125 mph in a mere 6.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 211 mph. But it's more than just ridiculously quick in a straight line. Around Ferrari's Fiorano test track, the SF90 recorded a lap time of 79 seconds (approximately 1:19), rivaling the LaFerrari’s time of 1:19.70.

ut for drivers feeling especially efficient off the track, the SF90 offers a pure electric driving mode. With a range of 16 miles (25 kilometers), a maximum electric speed of 84 mph (135 kmh), and plug-in charging capability, the SF90 is perfectly content puttering around Maranello in complete silence as it is tearing up the circuit with its engine screeching toward redline.

The SF90's exterior, while radically styled, also reinvents aerodynamic accessorizing. The front section of the vehicle's chassis sits 0.6 inches (15 millimeters) higher than the center. That allows more airflow through the vortex generators, which essentially keep things streamlined through the body. With this advanced aero work, the SF90 generates 860 pounds (390 kg) of downforce at 155 mph (250 kmh). Ferrari says that number is the "new benchmark for downforce and efficiency in high-performance road cars."

In line with Ferrari's new cabin styling, which is highlighted by a wraparound 16.0-inch HD screen, an advanced head-up display, and an F1-inspired cockpit, are steering wheel-mounted toggles that control four distinct driving modes: eDrive, Hybrid, Performance, and Qualify. The first two, as their names suggest, utilize battery power. The efficiency-oriented eDrive mode shuts off the V8 entirely and relies solely on the 16-mile range of the battery pack and electric motors. In Hybrid mode, the control logic switches between the gas engine and battery power automatically, by using information like accelerator pedal pressure and driving conditions.

In Performance and Qualify driving modes, the turbocharged V8 stays put. The former uses the high-output engine to help charge the electric modes, while the latter unleashes all 986 horses from both the electric motors and the internal combustion engine. As its name implies, this is the ideal mode for the track.

For all its advanced tech, the SF90 Stradale tips the scales at 3,461 pounds (1,570 kilograms). That's roughly 30 pounds (13 kilograms) lighter than the LaFerrari (3,494 pounds). The chassis, meanwhile, is 20 percent stiffer and 40 percent more torsionally rigid than previous performance platforms, all without adding any unnecessary weight.

All told, then new Ferrari SF90 Stradale sounds like a technological marvel. Price and availability details are still under wraps, but expect the hyper-hybrid to go on sale sometime this year. And expect it to be extremely expensive.

I think I might have to agree with you there. Ferrari's designs just keep getting better. I even love the F8!
However I am just not a fan of the rear styling on certain models like the Superfast. That hatchback-ish rear just doesn't do it for me.

Agree with you completely. This HAS to be one of the most beautiful car launched in recent times. I simply love the front profile. Muscular & Stealthy!

This is beautiful!! One of the best looking cars out there today. I think this is going to be on a lot of bedroom walls for years to come.

Also, the Ferrari portfolio is super confusing these days. Either that or I'm just getting old. It might be the latter. I loved it when you had a clear choice between a


California - if you wanted a "entry level" convertible

F430/F458 - if you wanted a proper mid engine V8,

599 - If you wanted the classic V12 that was a fantastic cruiser too

612 - If you wanted the classic V12 with 2 pretty useless rear seats

Enzo - If you wanted, what was for its time, the best and the fastest car money could buy.

Holy Guacamole! This thing is smoking hot. Infinitely better name than Ferrari The Ferrari (La Ferrari)

Interesting they went with a V8 for this. Top dog Ferraris since the F50 usually have had v12s.

It's pretty much the same logic still.

• California -> Portofino
• 430/458 -> F8 Tributo, but this segment is currently in flux for Ferrari because even though they've replaced the 488 coupe with the F8 Tributo, they haven't released the convertible version yet, so the 488 spider lives on for a bit longer. The Pista coupe and spider are analogous to the 430 Scuderia and the Scuderia Spider 16M, respectively. The confusion, if any, stems from the fact that the production of all these overlaps instead of things being strictly sequential.
• 599 -> 812superfast
• 612 -> GTC4Lusso, except they also have the GT4Lusso T variant
• Enzo -> LaFerrari

The real new thing is the SF90 Stradale. Although the total horsepower of the SF90 Stradale exceeds that of the LaFerrari (isn't progress a wonderful thing?), and it certainly is more advanced in many ways, it still is a "lesser" car than the LaFerrari and not its successor. The SF90 Stradale creates a new category for Ferrari, roughly comparable to the Lamborghini Aventador, the base price of which has always been significantly more than that of Ferrari's flagship V12 competitors (F12berlinetta and 812superfast).

Specifically vs the LaFerrari, there are numerous key differences:

• Much smaller displacement turbo engine (4L V8 vs 6.3L V12)
• No carbon fiber monocoque
• Lower redline (8000rpm vs 9250rpm)
• The weight. The only way to know its actual weight will be to weigh it oneself, but Ferrari's claim is 1,570 kg dry weight. Ferrari themselves never quoted any weights for the LaFerrari, but real-life measurements were roughly around 1,580-ish kg, but that was kerb weight with a full tank of fuel! Extrapolating the SF90's dry weight to kerb weight means it could weigh as much as 1,800kg, or even more. That is a heavy car! Remember that it is easier to add power than it is to reduce weight.

Although Ferrari hasn't announced the base price of the SF90 Stradale yet, it is expected to be US$500-600K, which is a fraction of the LaFerrari's base price of around US$1.5M. This could change though, as it looks like Ferrari is gauging customer interest before coming up with a price.

Breathtakingly beautiful, that front-end is. Love it! And such a welcome change in these times (related thread (Are modern supercars ugly?)). Found the rear to be too busy though, as well as the steering. Don't those tail-lamps remind anyone of the Chevrolet Corvette?

This is no limited edition car. It's a regular production 1000 BHP machine!

There is some vague Corvette resemblance, but it's the new Camaro taillights that the SF90 taillights are a dead ringer for. Well, almost...

[Astonite]

Beautiful car. Looking at the specs, it might impact the resale of Speciale(s).

I read the same somewhere. Above 812 and less than LaF.
P.S: Are you getting one?

Yes.

I do want to see it in person though, which would also be imperative for coming up with a configuration. My schedule didn't allow me to travel for the reveal last week, but I'll be in Maranello later this month.

By the way, here is the official press release from Ferrari for the SF90 Stradale. It describes all that Ferrari has currently shared about the car and makes for some riveting reading.

I realize the importance of pictures. As a stopgap, I've added my automotive-only Instagram account, which has plenty of pictures of many cars from my garage, as the "Home Page URL" in my Team-BHP profile.

Ferrari have released the short film "Le Grand Rendez-Vous" starring SF90 Stradale and F1 driver Charles Leclerc.

Shot in Monaco last month, the filming took place on the weekend of the cancelled Monaco Grand Prix.

Directed by renowned French filmmaker Claude Lelouch, a crew of 17 used six iPhone 11 Pros, nine Go Pros and one Sony Venice Camera to capture Leclerc, who in turn had two SF90 Stradales and six Ferrari technicians at his disposal.
