• The Ferrari SF90 XX is a more extreme version of the SF90 racecar that tries to blur the line between a racing car and a grand tourer.
  • The car’s plug-in hybrid powertrain has been updated, and Ferrari says it can go from 0 to 62 mph in 0.2 seconds less than the SF90. This means it can reach 60 mph in less than 2 seconds.
  • Even though only a few of each body style will be made, the Stradale car and Spider convertible are already sold out.

The famous Pista di Fiorano racetrack was the setting for the unveiling of the Ferrari SF90 XX, which has the same double-X name as the brand’s most potent track-only cars. The limited-edition SF90 is the first XX model that can be driven on the street. It bridges the gap between a race car and a Ferrari sports car that can be driven on the road. It is faster, lighter, and has better airflow.

Getting better results

The plug-in hybrid powertrain of the SF90 XX is the same as that of the regular model. It is made up of a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine and three electric motors. But for the SF90 XX, Ferrari experts changed the twin-turbo V-8 engine to make it more powerful. The V-8 got new pistons, the compression ratio was raised, and the air intake and exhaust ports were cleaned. The maximum power is now 786 horsepower, which is 17 horsepower more than before. With the new Extra Boost feature for the electric motors, the system’s intensity increased by 30 horsepower to 1016.

Extra Boost is only available in the Qualify driving style, letting the car speed up faster after turning a corner. The driver can use the function up to 30 times before the battery dies. It works when the driver floors the gas pedal.

The eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox of the car has also been changed. Shifting gears is followed by a snarling sound from the exhaust, and there is a lift-off overrun at a higher RPM. The shift logic comes from the Daytona SP3, which is new. The SF90 XX sounds like a race car, and we can guarantee that it’s loud and will give you the chills. The rougher sound gets into the cabin through a new tube that connects the entry to the place.

Ferrari says that the SF90 can go from 0 to 62 mph in 2.3 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the Ferrari. When the normal SF90 Stradale was tested in 2021, it broke a world record by going from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.0 seconds. This would put the XX’s time in the single digits.

The best force is downforce.

Aside from the big fixed rear wing, Ferrari has made many changes to the SF90’s aerodynamic parts to make it more stable. The maker says the SF90 XX can create up to 1168 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. This significantly improved the SF90 Stradale, which could only create 860 pounds of downforce. The XX updates the SF90’s dynamic back spoiler to work with the fixed wing and can switch between low-drag and high-downforce settings.

There are two holes in the hood where the air from the front radiators can escape. While cooler air is sent around the cockpit to the oversized side openings that cool the V-8, hot air is forced up and over the car’s roof. Also, the SF90 XX’s radiators, which cool the electrical parts, are turned upside down to make the underbody look better.

By updating its electronic systems, Ferrari has also improved the SF90 XX’s speed and lap times. To better triangulate the vehicle’s real-time dynamics and enhance braking performance, a new chassis-control system inspired by the 296 GTB makes use of three yaw sensors.

The same as a longtail

Because engineering has become more advanced, the car’s form has changed in several ways. For example, to fit the vast fixed rear wing, the SF90 XX’s back end, which had been stretched to make it look like a “longtail,” had to be changed. The air intakes on the fenders inspired the design of the inside door panels, and the new hood outlets have a different color of paint to make them stand out.

Ferrari removed the carpets and swapped the heavy bucket seats with lighter ones made of carbon fiber. Even though the chairs look like they have setbacks, they can be moved because of how the elastic trim is made.

The center panel uses less material because it is made of beautiful carbon fiber with a matte finish instead of leather or plastic. The switches for the power windows have been moved to the center panel, and the eight-speed transmission’s chrome gear selector has been moved forward.

All 599 SF90 XX Spiders and all 799 SF90 XX Stradale coupes have been ordered. At the current exchange rate, it costs about USD 844,000 to buy a car. The Spider costs almost $932,000, which is even more. These will be valuable no matter where they go, but Ferrari won’t say how many will end up in North America.
