of the company’s dual-clutch 8-speed
gearbox. The other two are mounted up
front to constantly and individually adjust
power delivered to each front wheel,
sharpening steering response when enter-
ing corners, maximizing traction and pro-
pelling the car out of corners with speeds
no other Ferrari can equal. Each motor is
likely producing a touch more than 100
ft lbs of torque—available at zero rpm—
combined with another 590 ft lbs from the
V-8 that peaks way up at 6,000 rpm. And

thanks to a tiny flywheel, the V-8 revs like
mad. The exhaust system is engineered
not only to promote deep breathing but
also to serve like a musical wind instru-
ment. No matter the turbos and electric
motor, Stradale’s voice soars.
All that instant electric torque helps
the vehicle hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
That time is slightly less when the car is
in the most radical of its four calibration
settings, Qualifying, which discharges the
lithium-ion battery’s energy at a rapid
rate with virtually no regeneration—
maximum performance for one or two

The SF90 Stradale can
sail from zero to 60
mph in 2.5 seconds.

Each motor is likely
producing a touch more
than 100 ft lbs of torque.
