2020 Ferrari SF90 Stradale

This is Ferrari’s 986 horsepower hybrid supercar called the SF90 Stradale. It sits above the 812 Superfast in the Ferrari range and is a series-production car meaning no limited editions or exclusive invitations. If you can stump up the big price tag, this Ferrari can be yours.

Much like the LaFerrari before it, the SF90 Stradale uses a hybrid powertrain. This time a 4.0L twin turbocharged V8 has been paired up with 3 electric motors. The first of those motors has been sandwiched between the engine and the transmission, whilst the other 2 have been placed on the front axle powering a wheel each. They are all fed by a compact 7.9 kWh lithium ion battery pack, and produce a combined 220 PS (162 kW) of power. The all-electric range is a rather limited 25 kilometers, but those buying the SF90 will not be interested in that, they will want to experience the screaming Ferrari V8. That V8 is good for 780 PS (574 kW) of power at 7,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm on it’s own. When combined with the other motors, the whole package comes in at a very nice 1,000 PS (735 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm).

The transmission is a new dual-clutch unit developed by Ferrari with 8 gears, 20% smaller size and 7kg less weight. To achieve this, they have removed the reverse gear from the transmission, with all reversing now handled by the electric motors on the front wheels. Four driving modes are available with eDrive, Hybrid, Performance and Qualifying making up the list. eDrive is as it sounds, providing silent pure electric operation. The rest of the modes amp up the aggressiveness of the car with the full-on Qualifying mode unleashing the combined power of all the motors. In this configuration 0-62 mph in done and dusted in just 2.5 seconds, an the top speed will max out at 212 mph.
