Six years. That"s how long it took for Ferrari to equal, and even beat, the mighty LaFerrari"s numbers. The new SF90 Stradale has equal total horsepower to the LaFerrari (986bhp), but because it uses turbochargers and has more e-motors driving more wheels, it"s faster. It goes from 0-62mph a couple of tenths faster than the LaFerrari. Both will crack 124mph from rest in less than seven seconds. Okay the top speed is a meaningless 5mph less than the red third of 2013"s Holy Trinity" of hybrid hypercars. So what? How many of the 349 LaFerraris built do you suppose have ever been maxed out? On top of all that, the SF90 will cost about 400,000. The LaFerrari was 1million. So that makes the new SF90 a bargain. Faster, cleverer, less than half the price. In six years. That"s some achievement.
