Ferrari SF90 Stradale: plug-in hybrid, 1000 HP and variants
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is the first series-production Ferrari with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive, launched in 2019. We look at the V8 and electric motor combination, the Spider variant, the Assetto Fiorano package, and what buyers need to know.
SF90 Stradale in brief
The SF90 Stradale was launched in 2019 and became the first series-production Ferrari with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The name 'SF90' denotes 90 years of Scuderia Ferrari, while 'Stradale' refers to a road car.
The car combines a mid-mounted petrol V8 with three electric motors and can run on electric power alone. It's the most technologically advanced Ferrari of its time, aimed at those who want maximum power and all-wheel drive.
Versions and differences
The base version is the SF90 Stradale coupé. In 2020, the open-top SF90 Spider with a retractable hard top was introduced. Both versions share the same hybrid powertrain.
Buyers could also opt for the 'Assetto Fiorano' package, which reduces the car's weight and enhances its sporting capabilities. Later came the particularly sporty SF90 XX Stradale, which is a separate, collectible version.
Powertrain and gearbox
The SF90 features a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and three electric motors (one rear and two front). Combined output is around 1000 HP. Thanks to the front electric motors, the car has all-wheel drive.
Transmission — 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Charged batteries allow for short electric-only drives, but that's not the primary purpose of this car.
What to check when buying a used SF90
First, check the service history with an official Ferrari dealer, software updates, and battery condition. Repairing the hybrid system can be very expensive, so warranties and certified car conditions are crucial.
Inspect the body, carbon fibre parts, brakes, and tyres. Ensure all electronic functions work and test the charging. Before buying, consult with an official Ferrari service specialist.
