Ferrari has been a name synonymous with speed, power and luxury in the world of automobiles. The Prancing Horse has once again justified this reputation by revealing its all-new SF90 XX Stradale and SF90 XX Spider, based on the iconic SF90 Stradale.
Unmatched Power Performance
These vehicles represent the epitome of special series cars, crafted in limited numbers of 799 for the SF90 XX Stradale and 599 for the SF90 XX Spider. The SF90 XX Stradale takes the already exhilarating on-track driving experience of the SF90 Stradale up a notch.
Featuring an impressive 1,030 horsepower, up 30 from its predecessor, it also boasts a radical new aerodynamics solution with a fixed rear spoiler – a first for a road-going Ferrari since the F50.
Powertrain Innovation
The SF90 XX Stradale carries the signature PHEV layout, incorporating the V8 internal combustion engine with three electric motors, two on the front axle and one located between the engine and gearbox at the rear.
This configuration allows the car to reach a new performance benchmark of 1030 horsepower, 30 more than the SF90 Stradale. The electric motors alone can power the vehicle for up to 25km and reach a maximum speed of 135 km/h in full-electric mode.
Engine Superiority
The mid-rear-mounted V8 turbo has been optimised to push the limits of performance. The engine’s weight is cut down by 3.5 kg by removing the secondary air system and it is powered by the F154FB engine, now even more powerful.
New pistons and specific machining of the combustion chamber have increased the compression ratio, and the inlet and exhaust ducts have been polished to enhance efficiency.
An Unforgettable Acoustic Experience
The SF90 XX Stradale’s engine sound has been redesigned for an even richer and fuller sound across the V8’s rev range. The use of innovative materials enhances the acoustic clarity, producing an iconic Ferrari V8 sound. It’s a symphony of high-performance driving that elevates the entire experience to a new level.
Aerodynamics at Its Finest
The SF90 XX Stradale has achieved the most efficient aerodynamic performance of any Ferrari road-going car. Its downforce is double that of the SF90 Stradale, which leads to a palpably faster lap time at Fiorano. This car has been designed from the ground up, with a rear fixed wing developed from the XX Programme cars. It delivers an unmatched 530 kg of downforce at 250 km/h.
The SF90 XX Spider provides the ultimate on-track adrenaline rush combined with the pleasure of top-down driving. Benefitting from the same sophisticated aerodynamic solutions as the SF90 XX Stradale, the Spider model also features Ferrari’s Retractable Hard Top. This top can deploy and retract in just 14 seconds, and can be activated at speeds of up to 45 km/h.
In Conclusion
The SF90 XX Stradale and SF90 XX Spider are the perfect blend of superior engineering and design, bringing together the best aspects of the special series and the XX programmes. These cars redefine what it means to be a road-legal supercar and further consolidate Ferrari’s position at the pinnacle of automotive engineering.
These are the ultimate dream cars for any car enthusiast. With their limited numbers, if you manage to get your hands on one of these, consider yourself part of an exclusive club. After all, nothing screams exclusivity louder than the Prancing Horse.
