By LaughlinPublished 2 years ago 4 min read

Ferrari held the launch event of SF90 Stradale. The SF90 Stradale, the protagonist of the event, which only made its official debut today, was released on May 30 this year. The new car is Ferrari's first plug-in hybrid model, which is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and three electric motors, with a maximum power of 1,000 horsepower, 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.5 seconds, and 0-200 km/h acceleration in just 6.7 seconds. 200 km/h acceleration in just 6.7 seconds.

New car features

The new car features raised curved wheel arches on both sides of the front end and narrow, flat headlights, giving it a strong sense of visual impact. At the same time, the lower part of the front of the new car adopts a larger opening, which will provide strong downforce to the new car while reducing weight, and of course, such a design also makes the car look combat-ready.

From the side, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale has a hidden A-pillar design and a unique aerodynamic shape behind the side windows, showing a fierce air intake design. At the same time, the cockpit of the new car, with the smaller front area moved to the further front of the vehicle, completely reshapes the proportions of Ferrari's production model Berlinetta since it was applied to the 360 Modena sports car with a mid-rear engine layout two decades ago.

At the rear, a large number of horizontal, straight elements are used, and the taillights are quite distinctive, as they consist of four rounded rectangles. For the first time, it is understood that two versions of the model are officially available for customers to choose from, which include a standard version and a more sporty configuration.

The Assetto Fiorano configuration features significantly optimized and upgraded features, including special Multimatic dampers based on the GT race car, as well as lightweight components made of high-performance materials such as carbon fiber (doors, floorboards) and titanium (springs, complete exhaust), thus reducing the weight of the car by 30 kg. Other differences include a carbon fiber rear spoiler that generates 390 kg of downforce at speeds of up to 250 km/h. The Assetto Fiorano is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup II tires, specially designed to improve performance on dry track surfaces, with a softer tread and fewer surface grooves than the tires used on the standard version.

According to the official statement, the driving concept derived from the race track, "Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel", has become the core design consideration of Ferrari's new cars for the first time, and has greatly influenced the ergonomics and interior style of the vehicles. Under the influence of this philosophy, the new car features a new human-machine interface and interior layout that is completely different from those of previous models. It features a new three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with a touch screen and a large number of touch buttons, which makes it easier for the driver to control most of the functions.

The new car also adopts a 16-inch curved electronic LCD instrument panel, making the interior highly technological. Meanwhile, the new gearshift mechanism features a grille-style design inspired by Ferrari's classic manual shift paddles. This design combines classic and modern elements, giving this Ferrari hybrid sports car a fascinating future style. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a start switch supported by Ferrari's physical keyless technology for the first time. In the future, this feature will gradually be extended to the entire Ferrari model line-up with personalized model names. The central panel also features a special storage space that blends perfectly with the new car's interior layout.

In terms of power, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is equipped with a hybrid plug-in power system consisting of a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and three electric motors with a maximum power of 1,000 horsepower. At the same time, the new car will be equipped with a four-wheel drive system (RAC-E), with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.5 seconds and 0-200 km/h acceleration in 6.7 seconds. In addition, the car will offer four power modes for drivers to choose from.

New car background

Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a name that looks a bit complicated is very straightforward, that is to pay tribute to the 90th anniversary of the Ferrari team. The SF90 Stradale highlights the cutting-edge technology of the Maranello headquarters in the field of research and development, and perfectly applies Ferrari's success, knowledge, and technology accumulated on the track to the design of production cars.

Full article summary

We can already see clearly from this SF90 Stradale where Ferrari should go in the future. This car shows the way to the little brother behind because it has too many new designs, such as that technology-filled steering wheel and LCD instrument panel. Technology also has a lot of new ideas, the most eye-catching is the plug-in hybrid technology, you can see the Ferrari on the road in the future on the green plate, it does not matter if you can not read the Ferrari model, just remember, the Ferrari on the green plate acceleration can not be a joke.

Some people may feel that the new Ferrari with plug-in hybrid is not pure enough, but under the further upgrade of the powerful V8 engine, it can still bring enough enthusiasm to make people boil up, and the plug-in hybrid brings such beyond the flagship LaFerrari acceleration performance, I think not many people can resist it so fierce strength. Overall, compared to its rivals, this time Ferrari can be said to be ahead of the curve, next, we will wait for more plug-in hybrid supercars to come.
