Ferrari SF90 XX is an $840,000 track weapon built for the street



Ferrari’s XX program has been around for almost two decades, but until now, it has focused exclusively on high-performance, track-only cars. The legendary Italian brand is changing that with two new cars, the SF90 XX Stradale and SF90 XX Spider, its first road-going cars in the XX Program.

Ferrari will build just 799 coupes and 599 convertibles, all powered by a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain. Three electric motors assist the eight-cylinder mill, combining for 1,016 horsepower, while the V8 alone makes 769 ponies. The electric drivetrain also enables a temporary power boost function that Ferrari said can cut lap times by a quarter of a second on the Fiorano circuit.

Four-digit power output numbers rarely result in tame performance specs, and the two XX cars don’t disappoint. Ferrari claims a mind-bending 2.3-second 0-60 time and a 199-mph tip speed, and the brakes are larger than the standard SF90 for more stopping power. Because it’s a plug-in hybrid, the SF90 XX Stradale offers an electric range of around 15.5 miles and an electric-only top speed of 84 mph.
