Its rear window in the loopholes format says it all: the look back doesn’t bring anything.

Anyone who drives this Ferrari SF90 Stradale with the special “Assetto Fiorano” racing set-up is only looking ahead.

On the one hand, because the 1000 hp bolide, the fastest road-legal Ferrari ever built, requires full concentration on driving.

And on the other hand, because the first plug-in Ferrari sharpens the brand profile of the Reds more forward-looking than a new model from Maranello has ever done before.

The drive power of the 4.0-liter V8 with its 780 hp is portioned by a Getrag eight-speed dual clutch transmission without reverse gear. When reversing, the two-seater becomes the only Ferrari with front-wheel drive, because now one of the electric motors on the front axle moves it. Their 220 hp make the 1000 full.

The dynamically optimized SF90 Stradale builds several bridges into the past, present and future of the brand. Looking back at history, he continues the aggressive design language of the Enzo and LaFerrari supercars. A battery-electric future will definitely come at Ferrari as well, as confirmed in Maranello. However, only when solid cell battery technology is available. Ferrari is showing the way with this plug-in hybrid, whose battery stores 7.9 kWh. Replacing aluminum add-on parts with carbon fiber and aluminum dampers along with titanium springs reduces the total weight by 40 to 1530 kilos compared to the standard version of the SF90. The carbon rear spoiler generates 390 kilograms of downforce at 250 km / h and increases driving stability.

On the first test drives, the V8 also shone with its acoustics.

Above 3500 rpm, the combustion engine trumpets with typical Ferrari aggressiveness.

So the brutal braking of curves takes place free of unrest in the rear, the jagged turning with even greater precision and the acceleration out with an indescribable force and remarkable directional stability.

The fact that this SF90 can drive up to 25 kilometers silently, with a maximum of 130 km / h, is only of interest by the way.

The developers say the central theme of every Ferrari is high driving dynamics.

Electrical support also serves this purpose.

All-electric driving is delivered free of charge, so to speak.

At a price of at least 466,680 euros.
