To echo the supreme combination of performance, design and cutting-edge technology of the SF90 Stradale, Shenzhen is the perfect stage for Ferrari to demonstrate its latest masterpiece. Boasting a strategic position in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the city has leveraged on the rapid economic growth and vast industrial base over the past few decades, emerged as the leading city for high-tech development and innovative economy in China. By holding the launch event in Shenzhen, Ferrari China delivered a unique and memorable experience to all guests and Ferrari enthusiasts.

The internal combustion engine and electric motors work in synergy to generate an incredible 1,000 cv, which puts the SF90 Stradale at the very top of the range in performance terms. The SF90 Stradale is equipped with a V8 turbo engine capable of delivering 780 cv, the highest power output of any 8-cylinder in Ferrari history, which has won the International Engine of the Year award for the fourth consecutive year, an unprecedented achievement for any power unit. The remaining 220 cv is delivered by three electric motors, one at the rear, with the derivation from the Formula 1 application, and two on the front axle. The front motors are integrated into the launch control strategy for maximum performance when accelerating, setting the new benchmark for standing starts: 0-100km/h in 2.5 sec and 0-200km/h in just 6.7 seconds.

In contrast to such a sophisticated system, the new SF90 Stradale does not present a more complicated driving experience. On the contrary, it delivers a very simple user experience where the driver only needs to select one of four power unit modes, and then concentrates on driving. The sophisticated control logic takes care of the rest, managing the flow of power between the V8, the electric motors and the batteries.

The development of a hybrid car of this kind demanded the development of a series of innovative aerodynamic solutions. In order to achieve the significant boost in the power unit’s performance, the development team carried out an in-depth review of the aerodynamic flows. It also demanded new solutions to increase downforce efficiently and guarantee maximum stability at all speeds and in all driving conditions.

The new car is epoch-changing from a stylistic perspective as it completely creates a forward-looking, innovative design that transmits the car’s mission as an extreme sports car. Ferrari Design has thus completely revisited the proportions in a radical evolution of the forms of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined production berlinettas of the last twenty years.

The track-derived “eyes on the road, hands on the wheel” philosophy takes on a truly central role for the first time. The result is an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and interior layout concept that are a complete departure from previous models.

The SF90 Stradale also sees the debut of the new ignition key with full keyless technology which will gradually be introduced across the rest of the range, personalized with the model’s name. Thanks to a special compartment in the central tunnel, it becomes an integral part of the car’s styling.

The new SF90 Stradale represents a true paradigm shift for Ferrari, a true milestone in Ferrari’s history. It delivers a performance that is beyond imagination, setting a new benchmark for driving experience and exhilaration to our Ferrari owners and fans in China.
