Ferrari SF90 Stradale review

Good news! Ferrari claims ‘only’ 90 per cent of SF90s will be sold to existing customers, so you don’t have to have bought a Portofino and a GTC4Lusso just to get your name on the list. So you’ll be able to have one, although doubtless the waiting list will be long. And you will spend a lot of money. The £39,360 Assetto Fiorano pack has been specced by 50 per cent of buyers, and 50 per cent of them have also gone for one of the £20,160 racing liveries. You can have carbon wheels for £19,200, carbon seats for £5,760. Spec all the lightweight options and Ferrari says you can lose 100kg or more from the 1,680kg dry weight. 

The value question is a tough one. At £376,048 it’s a huge amount of money if you choose to see it as an F8 with added electricity. But it’s not – in truth they feel nothing like each other. But at this price, once the initial rush is over and if no-one else launches a car into a similar price bracket, it’s going to be interesting seeing what happens to used values. 

There are no claims for economy or CO2 yet, but cruising range should be in the order of 300 miles – and because it rides calmly, it makes distance doable. Shame the 74-litre boot is so small. Electric range isn’t huge at 15 miles, but it does regenerate fast, which means you have usable charge. 

For what it’s worth, Ferrari’s ownership package is class-leading – a four year UK warranty and seven year servicing package. The same is rarely the case for limited edition models. Peace of mind for your purchase, and of course very low running costs indeed for urban dwellers provided they can charge at home. Safe to say they’ll have off-street parking.
