What it is

The SF90 Stradale is a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive sports car that marks Ferrari's move into plug-in hybrid technology. Its name commemorates the company's 90th anniversary. The car uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors, with a battery pack enabling electric-only driving.
