Summary
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale was a two-door mid-engined ‘Berlinetta’ coupé and ‘Spider’ convertible, which was the Italian brand’s first plug-in hybrid. It was sold until late 2025, when it was replaced by a substantially updated model called the 849 Testarossa.
Going on sale in 2019 as Ferrari’s flagship production model, the SF90 Stradale shared its name with the F1 race car from the same year – ‘SF90’ standing for the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team. The most powerful production model in Ferrari’s modern range, it used a 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 paired with three electric motors for a combined output that was just shy of 1,000hp.
Although it was longer and heavier than the rest of the Ferrari range, the SF90 Stradale could complete a 0-62 sprint in 2.5 seconds, which was four-tenths of a second faster than the F8 Tributo. Using just the electric motors and battery, the SF90 could travel a maximum of 16 miles from full charge, the same as the newer 296 GTB plug-in hybrid.
Both coupé and convertible variants received very favourable review scores from the British media – Auto Express called the SF90 Stradale “intoxicating”, Top Gear simply described it as “stunning”, and Driving Electric argued that it “sets a new benchmark in the high-end supercar market”, displaying what the future of the Ferrari brand should look like.
Despite its power and performance, a number of reviewers took issue with the car’s driving dynamics, and commented that cheaper Ferrari sports cars were arguably more fun to drive. Auto Express argued that alternatives within the Ferrari arsenal were more involving, with more “delicacy” in high-speed corners. That said, anyone searching for ferocious amounts of mid-engined power didn’t need to look elsewhere. “If you want the ultimate Ferrari road car, the SF90 is it. Roof open or closed.”
As of March 2026, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale holds a Used Car Expert Rating of B with a score of 64%. This includes both the coupé and Spider versions. It scores top marks for its strong media review scores and Ferrari’s excellent warranty coverage, while its CO2 emissions are decent on the official government lab tests as it’s a plug-in hybrid. However, overall running costs are predictably expensive.

“As a technical exercise, the Ferrari SF90 remains a marvel of engineering and a car that, regardless of your thoughts about machines that deliver horsepower figures that were once the sole domain of F1 paddocks, is an enigma. You can’t help but be drawn to it, almost blind to what it represents. A 296 GTB is a better, more rounded, more involving car, but for some the SF90’s top-billing status will appeal above all else, and if it does, you won’t get any criticism from us.”

“The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is an astonishing machine. Never before has a 1,000bhp car possessed the capacity to flatter inexperienced hands as readily as it offers a challenge to the expert driver.”

Model reviewed: SF90 Spider
Score: 9 / 10
“Ferrari’s most powerful, complex and fastest road car to date loses none of its excitement, thrills and intoxicating level of performance in SF90 Spider form. It lacks the delicacy of modern-era Ferraris as it harnesses a ferocious powertrain that sets the blueprint for every next-generation model from the Italian firm.”

“The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is a complex car, and not just from a technical standpoint. It’s a car you struggle to do justice to in a couple of hours behind the wheel or a few hundred words of story. But it’s engineering like this that’s going to ensure the survival of the supercar when laws, and even the mindset of some owners, are changing to reflect a greater concern for the environment.”

“As one of the fastest, most futuristic Ferraris ever made, the SF90 Stradale sets a new benchmark in the high-end supercar market, offering hypercar performance and fantastically well sorted plug-in hybrid technology. It’s not the most efficient PHEV around by a long stretch, but it’s certainly the most fun.”

“Such is its potency and advanced technology it’s hard to believe the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is a series production car. With its introduction, the supercar arms race enters a blistering new phase, in which a showroom-spec supercar boasts hypercar performance.”

There’s good and bad news on running costs for the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Spider, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
All new Ferraris include seven years of scheduled servicing and maintenance, which means there’s no excuse for owners not to get their cars serviced on time, every time. We have listed the cost here as £1 each year as our system can’t currently cope with a zero figure for this category.
Being a plug-in hybrid, the official CO2 emissions score is very low. Over time, this may prove to be valuable as governments start to regulate cars more heavily based on their emissions outputs.
Of course, insurance bills are going to be exactly as expensive as you’d expect on a mid-engined Ferrari with a price tag exceeding a quarter of a million pounds. Meanwhile, if you drive the SF90 nicely then fuel economy is likely to be reasonable (again, helped by the plug-in hybrid system as long as you have electricity in the battery). But if you have any plans to unleash its considerable performance, that official fuel economy of 46mpg will deteriorate quickly.
Warranty Rating
New car warranty information for the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider
| Overall rating | A | 100% |
| New car warranty duration | 4 years |
| New car warranty mileage | Unlimited miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 16 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | Unlimited miles |
For a plug-in hybrid model, Ferrari’s new car warranty is the best in the business. In addition to the usual four-year/unlimited-mileage warranty that is offered on Ferrari’s pure petrol models, the battery component of the Ferrari SF90 gets up to 16 years of coverage from Ferrari, again without any mileage restrictions.
Ferrari will replace the SF90’s battery after eight years with a brand-new battery, and will do the same again after 16 years. No other manufacturer offers this level of support for its batteries.
