About this subject

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale marks a milestone in the Italian marque's history. Launched in 2019 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Scuderia Ferrari, it is the first production Ferrari to feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Its name pays homage to the F1 team's 90 years (SF90) and the word Stradale, Italian for "road", indicating its road-going sports car nature.

The heart of the SF90 Stradale is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 780 hp, combined with three electric motors: two on the front axle and one between the combustion engine and the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Total combined output reaches an impressive 1,000 hp. This setup enables electric all-wheel drive on the front wheels and conventional rear-wheel drive, resulting in 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h.

The Assetto Fiorano version, featured in the image title, is an optional package aimed at track performance. It includes Multimatic suspension derived from racing, weight reduction with extensive carbon fiber (doors, spoiler, diffuser), lightweight bumpers, and a titanium exhaust system. The car also rides on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R tires and features specific torque vectoring software. The name "Assetto Fiorano" refers to Ferrari's Fiorano test track where the model was calibrated.

Despite its hybrid capability, the SF90 Stradale can travel up to 25 km in full electric mode (eDrive) at speeds up to 135 km/h. The 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery is positioned under the floor, contributing to a low center of gravity. The aerodynamic design, penned by Centro Stile Ferrari, features active front ducts and a rear spoiler that deforms at high speeds to increase downforce. The interior is equally driver-focused, with a new digital cockpit concept and a steering wheel with tactile controls.

Ferrari produced the SF90 Stradale in limited numbers, and the model quickly became an icon among hybrid supercars. Its starting price in the US is around $500,000, with the Assetto Fiorano package adding a significant premium.
