Last month, our friends at European Auto Group showed up with a secret project. In the back of their trailer was a pristine Ferrari F430 Scuderia. I was expecting a twin-turbo kit or maybe bigger cams. But they chose a far more complex challenge. Instead of doing typical mods, they deleted the automatic transmission. Using […]

Have you ever seen a trailer that you had to watch again? The new “FORD v FERRARI” is such a trailer. It’s the first time we see Christian Bale and Matt Damon acting as their roles of Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, respectively. The film tells the true story of how Ford went to war […]

Ferrari is on a roll right now -- or at least it is when it comes to its road-car operation (we’ll politely draw a veil over the F1 team’s lacklustre performance so far this season). Because having launched its 488 successor, the F8 Tributo, just a couple of months back, and with a V6 mid-engine hybrid and a sort-of-SUV both in the latter stages of development, it’s now gone and whipped the covers off a new halo model that is claimed to be the quickest Ferrari ever built for the road.

Called the SF90 Stradale, a name that, curiously, it shares with another road rocket by Dallara, this latest offering from Maranello is also the company’s first-ever plug-in hybrid, as well as being the first Ferrari flagship with a V8, rather than a V12, under its engine cover. Moreover, it’s the only mid-engine Fezza that’s fettled with all-wheel drive, because, says the company, that’s the only way it can get its highly complex power unit’s 986bhp (or, in metric numbers, a straight 1,000 horses) on to the tarmac without shredding an expensive set of tyres each time you boot the throttle. Of that total output, 769bhp comes from the 4-litre turbo V8; the remaining 217 are supplied by three electric motors, one at the rear and two at the front.

So, you ask, how does it go? Well, with a super-light carbon fibre and aluminium chassis to help offset the heft of those batteries (and which clearly makes a significant contribution to the Stradale’s impressive weight-to-power ratio of 1.57 kg/hp), you could say it’s … fast -- pretty damn fast in fact. And that means a barely believable 0–100km/h time of 2.5 seconds -- plus a maximum speed that’s more than three times faster than you can legally drive in Hong Kong. Which, of course, is hardly likely to dent its appeal in this overcrowded and overregulated spot on the globe one iota.

Taking an electric car on a road trip was once the stuff of science fiction. The notion of combining electricity and the Prancing Horse was first evoked in the LaFerrari, but it can only travel 22 miles on battery power. Technology has advanced by an order of magnitude, so now the Ferrari SF90 Stradale has […]
