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.
