2024 FERRARI SF90 SPIDER | ZFF96NMA1R0310002

Body Styles

Coupe (SF90 Stradale) – an ultra-aggressive, mid-engine plug-in hybrid coupe with dramatic aero treatment and high-downforce rear styling. Designed from the ground up as a hypercar with daily usability, it features active aerodynamics, an “aero battery tunnel,” and one of Ferrari’s most compact and advanced engine bays. It is also the first AWD mid-engine Ferrari road car.

Convertible (SF90 Spider) – a folding hardtop convertible version of the Stradale with no sacrifice in structural rigidity or aerodynamics. The roof opens in 14 seconds and integrates seamlessly behind the cockpit. It retains full 1,000 hp performance, eManettino drive modes, and electrified AWD, making it the fastest and most powerful open Ferrari ever produced.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“SF90” commemorates the 90th anniversary of Scuderia Ferrari, the brand’s Formula 1 racing division, founded in 1929. The name ties the car to Ferrari’s motorsport heritage, while “Stradale” means “road-going.” As a result, the SF90 Stradale signifies a Formula 1–inspired car engineered for public roads. This is the first non-limited Ferrari to cross the 1,000-hp barrier and the brand’s first true series-production hybrid.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

The “SF” in “SF90” stands for Scuderia Ferrari, and “90” marks the racing milestone. “Stradale” is Italian for “street legal,” signaling its usability despite its performance. Globally, the SF90 badge connects Ferrari’s racing DNA with the future of hybrid hypercars, while “Spider” (convertible) has long been Ferrari’s term for open-top performance machines.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The SF90’s color palette includes Ferrari classics like Rosso Corsa, Giallo Modena, and Nero Daytona, along with cutting-edge finishes like Grigio Ferro Met, Blu Corsa, and Argento Nurburgring. New shades like Rosso Fuoco, Verde British, and Bianco King are available through the Tailor Made and Atelier programs, along with matte and two-tone liveries. The Assetto Fiorano version introduced stripe packs, carbon roofs, and track-focused liveries.

Inside, the SF90 features a tech-centric cabin with 16-inch curved digital display, haptic controls, touch-sensitive steering wheel, and a minimalist dash layout. Leather and Alcantara combinations include Cuoio, Blu Sterling, Sabbia, and Rosso Ferrari, with contrast stitching, carbon trim, and LED shift lights as standard on most builds. Assetto Fiorano models substitute Alcantara, bare carbon, and lightweight race buckets for maximum performance orientation.

Wheels are 20-inch forged alloys, available in diamond-cut, matte black, satin gold, or Grigio Corsa. Assetto Fiorano cars can be equipped with ultralight carbon fiber wheels. Braking is handled by next-generation carbon-ceramic Brembo calipers, with colored options in red, yellow, silver, black, or gold. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are available for extreme track use.

vs Competitors

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Spider stand as Ferrari’s first plug-in hybrid production supercars, and they shattered expectations when introduced in 2019 by combining a 986-horsepower (1,000 CV) output with all-wheel drive, electric torque vectoring, and Formula 1–inspired technology. This makes the SF90 a direct competitor to some of the most extreme performance machines on the planet, including the McLaren P1, Lamborghini Revuelto, Aston Martin Valkyrie, Porsche 918 Spyder, and more recently, the McLaren Artura, Rimac Nevera, and Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) — although few match its blend of hybrid power, daily usability, and Prancing Horse prestige.

Compared to the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, the SF90 doesn’t just match their performance — it surpasses them in several areas, especially acceleration and electric range. It delivers supercomputer-level control via its eSSC (electronic Side Slip Control) and torque vectoring systems, offering F1-grade agility and confidence on track. While the P1 and 918 were limited-production hypercars, the SF90 is a regular production model, making its performance even more astounding given its accessibility within Ferrari’s lineup.

Up against the Lamborghini Revuelto, another V12 plug-in hybrid hypercar, the SF90 brings a different philosophy. The Revuelto focuses on theatrical design and V12 heritage, while the SF90 offers surgical precision, rapid-fire shifts, and a twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors. The Ferrari is more compact, more agile, and offers superior lap-time capability, while Lamborghini leans into visual drama and rawness.

In relation to the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the SF90 is more usable and refined — the Valkyrie is essentially a race car for the road, with extreme aerodynamics and a naturally aspirated V12 paired with a hybrid system. The Ferrari is less extreme in concept but more balanced, offering advanced EV-only driving modes, luxurious comfort, and a highly intuitive driving experience even on public roads.

Against the Rimac Nevera, an all-electric hypercar boasting nearly 2,000 hp, the SF90 holds its ground by offering a more traditional supercar feel with visceral engine response, precise mechanical grip, and actual engine noise — something the Nevera lacks. While the Rimac may win on straight-line acceleration and futuristic appeal, the Ferrari feels more alive, more analog, and more rooted in motorsport heritage.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S (992), while not a direct hypercar competitor, is often cross-shopped for its performance, daily drivability, and AWD capability. Yet the SF90 elevates the experience with more power, mid-engine balance, and hybrid innovation, offering an entirely different tier of exhilaration and exclusivity.

And even when compared to the LaFerrari, Ferrari’s previous flagship, the SF90 is faster, more technologically advanced, and more adaptable. Where the LaFerrari was hybrid-assisted, the SF90 is fully plug-in, with a usable electric-only mode — making it not just a faster car, but a more versatile one.

Fun Fact

The SF90’s hybrid system allows for fully electric front-wheel drive up to 25 km (15.5 miles) at speeds of up to 135 km/h (84 mph), making it the first front-wheel-drive Ferrari ever – in EV mode only. In full performance mode, it blends torque from three electric motors with the V8 seamlessly, delivering lap times quicker than the LaFerrari around Fiorano, despite not being a limited-edition car.
