The Ferrari SF90 Stradale marked a major step in the evolution of Ferrari road-car performance, combining a twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors and an advanced plug-in hybrid system. Rather than using electrification simply for efficiency, Ferrari engineered the system to improve acceleration, traction, response, and vehicle dynamics. For enthusiasts throughout San Francisco, Marin County, the Peninsula, and the greater Bay Area, Ferrari of San Francisco can help you explore the technology and engineering that made the SF90 Stradale such an important Ferrari.
Ferrari Hybrid Performance With Three Electric Motors
The SF90 Stradale pairs a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors to create a combined maximum output of 1,000 cv. Two electric motors power the front axle, while a third sits between the V8 and the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
- 1,000 cv Combined Output: The internal combustion engine produces 780 cv, while the electric system contributes additional power for immediate response and exceptional acceleration.
- Electric All-Wheel Drive: Two front electric motors allow the SF90 Stradale to actively manage torque at the front wheels, improving traction, acceleration, and cornering performance.
- Three-Motor Architecture: The rear electric motor is derived from Ferrari Formula 1 technology and works together with the front electric axle and V8 to deliver seamless hybrid performance.

Four eManettino Modes, Four Different Characters
The SF90 Stradale introduced an eManettino that gives the driver direct control over how the combustion engine and electric system work together.
- eDrive: Uses electric propulsion for quiet, low-speed driving without the V8 operating.
- Hybrid: The default setting intelligently manages the combustion engine and electric motors to balance performance and efficiency.
- Performance: Keeps the V8 running so power is immediately available while maintaining battery charge for sustained performance.
- Qualify: Prioritizes maximum system output, allowing the V8 and electric motors to work together to deliver the full 1,000 cv.
Aerodynamics and Driver-Focused Technology
The SF90 Stradale’s innovation extends well beyond its hybrid powertrain. Ferrari developed sophisticated aerodynamic solutions to balance downforce with aerodynamic efficiency, while the electronic vehicle dynamics systems coordinate electric torque, traction, braking, and cornering behavior.
Inside, the SF90 Stradale introduced a new generation of Ferrari human-machine interface technology. A curved 16-inch digital instrument cluster places driving information directly ahead of the driver, while steering-wheel touch controls support Ferrari’s philosophy of keeping the driver’s hands on the wheel and attention on the road.
The available Assetto Fiorano specification further emphasizes performance with lightweight components and competition-derived solutions for drivers seeking an even more focused SF90 experience.
