In general, Ferrari’s ‘XX’ versions are crafted primarily for circuit use. Nevertheless, this updated edition is specifically designed for on-road operation, a move that is sure to delight Ferrari’s most devoted clientele. This is credited to the decision by the Italians to enhance the already potent SF90, a hybrid hypercar boasting 986 horsepower, to an even more formidable level. The latest Ferrari SF90 XX, available in both enclosed Stradale and open-top Spider variants, now delivers a combined output of 1,016 horsepower and can accelerate to 62 mph in a reputed 2.3 seconds. Should you desire one but have not already secured a reservation, you are out of luck, as all 799 Stradale and 599 Spider slots have already been accounted for.
Compared to the standard SF90, the SF90 XX powertrain exhibits minimal deviations. It retains a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission alongside three electric motors. Nonetheless, Ferrari has introduced enhancements to the V8 engine by equipping it with fresh pistons, refining its ports, and elevating the compression ratio. These modifications raise the output of the combustion engine to 786 hp and 593 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, Ferrari has enhanced the electric motors with added boost, though this is only accessible in the “new” Qualify mode, now yielding 229 horsepower.
