Ferrari SF90: A New Era of Hybrid Hyperpower

The Ferrari SF90 represents a monumental leap for the legendary Maranello automaker, marking its first series-production Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Named to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team, the SF90 shatters previous performance benchmarks, seamlessly blending a ferocious internal combustion engine with advanced electric propulsion to create a hypercar that is both breathtakingly fast and technologically revolutionary.

Core Variants: Stradale and Spider

The SF90 is offered in two primary forms, catering to different ownership desires but sharing the same astonishing performance credentials.

  • SF90 Stradale: The coupe version, featuring a sleek, fixed-roof design that emphasizes aerodynamic purity and structural rigidity. It serves as the technological showpiece for Ferrari's new hybrid architecture.

  • SF90 Spider: For those who desire an open-air experience, the Spider features a retractable hardtop that deploys in just 14 seconds. Remarkably, it retains the blistering performance of the Stradale with only a minor increase in weight, ensuring the thrilling soundtrack of the V8 is an even more integral part of the drive.

The Heart of the Beast: A Revolutionary Hybrid Powertrain

At the core of the SF90 is a sophisticated powertrain that combines a gasoline engine with three electric motors, delivering a staggering total output of 986 horsepower (1,000 cv).

  • Internal Combustion Engine: A 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine sits mid-ship, producing 769 horsepower on its own—the highest output of any 8-cylinder engine in Ferrari's history.

  • Electric Motors: Three electric motors contribute an additional 217 horsepower. Two are located on the front axle, providing all-wheel-drive capability and enabling precise torque vectoring. The third motor, known as the MGUK (Motor Generator Unit, Kinetic) derived from Formula 1 technology, is positioned between the engine and the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

This complex system allows for incredible acceleration and all-weather traction. The SF90 is the first mid-engine Ferrari to feature all-wheel drive, using the electric front axle to pull the car out of corners with surgical precision.

Unprecedented Performance

The SF90's hybrid power translates into record-breaking performance figures that challenge the very definition of a road car:

Top Speed340 km/h (211 mph)340 km/h (211 mph)
Fiorano Lap Time79.0 seconds79.5 seconds

Advanced Driving Modes and Dynamics

The driving experience is managed by the "eManettino" on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to select from four distinct power unit modes:

  • eDrive: A full-electric mode where the car is powered exclusively by the front two motors for a silent range of up to 25 km, ideal for city driving.

  • Hybrid: The default mode, where the car's control logic automatically manages power flow between the V8 and electric motors for optimal efficiency.

  • Performance: This mode keeps the V8 engine constantly running, ensuring power is always available while also charging the 7.9 kWh battery.

  • Qualify: Unleashes the full potential of the powertrain, combining the V8 and all three electric motors to deliver the maximum 986 horsepower for ultimate track performance.

Innovative aerodynamics, such as the patented "shut-off Gurney" at the rear, actively manage downforce to keep the car stable at incredible speeds.

The Ultimate Expression: SF90 XX Stradale

For the most demanding clients, Ferrari created the limited-edition SF90 XX Stradale and SF90 XX Spider. These are road-legal versions of Ferrari's track-only "XX Programme" cars. Power is boosted to 1,016 horsepower, aerodynamics are made more extreme with a prominent fixed rear wing, and the chassis is further honed for the circuit, resulting in even faster lap times. The 0-100 km/h sprint is reduced to a mind-bending 2.3 seconds.

Interior and Pricing in Canada

The SF90's cockpit is a digital-first environment, featuring a large 16-inch curved HD screen for the instrument cluster and a "hands-on-the-wheel" philosophy where most controls are located via touch-sensitive inputs on the steering wheel.

As a flagship Ferrari, the SF90 commands a significant price. While official MSRP for new models is highly dependent on extensive personalization options, the market in Canada sees prices for pre-owned SF90 Stradale and Spider models typically ranging from $650,000 to over $850,000 CAD, depending on the year, mileage, and specific configuration. The even more exclusive SF90 XX models were offered at a substantially higher price point to a select group of clients.
