The Ferrari SF90 Stradale Spider is a 986hp plug-in hybrid hypercar starting at $593,950, combining a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 with three electric motors and permanent all-wheel drive. It is the most technically sophisticated production Ferrari outside the limited F80 hypercar flagship, and it represents Ferrari's clearest argument that hybrid electrification enhances rather than dilutes the experience of driving a proper supercar. For the 2025 model year, the standard SF90 is offered exclusively as the Spider convertible; the track-focused XX variant remains available in both Stradale coupe and Spider body styles.
SF90 Powertrain | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 and Three Electric Motors
The SF90's powertrain architecture is unusually sophisticated for a road car. The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 generates 769 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque on its own. Ferrari adds three electric motors: two at the front axle and one integrated into the rear transaxle. The two front motors contribute 217 combined horsepower to bring the total system output to 986hp. Power routes through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic to all four wheels via a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system.
Critically, the front electric motors operate completely independently of the rear combustion engine. This means the car can run in pure front-wheel electric drive at low speeds without engaging the V8 at all. The result is a hypercar that can navigate a parking garage in near silence before unleashing close to 1,000 horsepower the moment the road opens up.
Performance | 0-60 in 2.0 Seconds, 211mph Top Speed
Ferrari's official 0-60 mph claim is 2.5 seconds, a number that Car and Driver determined to be conservative after testing a production car. Their measured result was 2.0 seconds flat, a figure that made the SF90 Stradale the quickest production car they had tested to that point. Top speed is 211 mph. The quarter mile takes approximately 9.9 seconds. These numbers place the SF90 alongside the fastest hypercars in the world at substantially lower cost than limited-edition competitors.
All four drive modes alter how the powertrain blends combustion and electric output. EV Only provides silent running for up to 15 miles. Hybrid mode manages the balance automatically for daily driving. Performance sharpens throttle response and holds gears longer. Qualify, the maximum attack setting, unlocks full system output and prioritizes outright lap time over comfort or efficiency.
SF90 XX | 1,016HP and Extra Boost from $890,000
The SF90 XX Stradale raises the stakes with 1,016 combined horsepower, drawn from a revised V8 producing 786hp and remapped electric motors. The additional 30 horsepower over the standard car arrives with a feature Ferrari calls Extra Boost, which temporarily increases output above the rated ceiling when accelerating out of a corner. The effect is a sharper exit punch than a fixed-output powertrain can deliver.
The XX interior removes carpets, replaces door panels and the centre console with carbon fibre, and swaps the standard chairs for one-piece bucket seats with aggressive lateral support. EV range drops to approximately 8 miles as a trade-off for the revised battery management targeting track use. The SF90 XX Stradale starts at $890,000; the XX Spider begins at $995,000. Both are part of the broader Ferrari lineup at oWire.
Interior, Tech, and Warranty
The standard SF90 Spider interior is luxurious by hypercar standards, finished in leather throughout with a fixed-hub steering wheel concept borrowed directly from the F80 program. The instrument cluster stays stationary as the wheel rotates around it, ensuring the driver always sees full readouts without obstruction. An LCD display handles infotainment alongside Apple CarPlay. Cargo space is a modest three cubic feet.
Ferrari covers the SF90 with a three-year unlimited-mileage warranty on both limited and powertrain components, backed by seven years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, one of the most comprehensive factory maintenance programs in the supercar segment.
SF90 in the Ferrari Hierarchy | Where It Sits
The SF90 occupies the tier directly below the F80 in Ferrari's current hierarchy. The F80 runs a more powerful F1-derived MGU-K hybrid system producing 1,184hp and is limited to 799 units at $3.735M. Above the 296 GTB (670hp V6 hybrid from $338,250) and below the F80, the SF90 at $593,950 is the point at which Ferrari's hybrid technology achieves its most accessible expression without meaningful compromise in performance capability.
