The model's SF90 tag, confirmed by a trademark site, is
shared with the current Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 car and celebrates 90
years since the formation of the racing division in 1929. Stradale is Italian
for 'road going'.
The new supercar will pack a mid-mounted 3.9-litre V8,
mated to three electric motors for a combined power output of 973bhp. It will
serve as a rival to McLaren's forthcoming new hybrid supercar, which
was recently spotted carrying out preliminary tests ahead of its launch
next year.
SF90 is reported to use an electric motor on each front wheel a la
Honda NSX/Porsche 918 Spyder to provide all-wheel drive acceleration (a
0-100km/h time of 2.0sec has been rumoured) but with the internal combustion
engine driving the rear wheels only.
The SF90 will also be the first model to be built on
Ferrari’s new flexible sports car architecture, which allows a number of
different drivetrain configurations to be installed, including crucial space
for a hybrid drive system.
