While Ferrari is busy these days with the development of a more hardcore variant of the SF90, which will presumably add the VS suffix (Versione Speciale – Italian for Special Version), owners of the regular models keep subjecting theirs to all sorts of stunts.
One of the latest to have been captured on camera and shared on YouTube comes from the New World, which is where a yellow copy of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale tried putting the bad Nissan GT-R in its corner. Did it succeed? That’s for you to find out by hitting the play button on the video embedded at the bottom of this story.

However, before doing so, we will remind you which of the two holds the upper ground in terms of power and performance, and that would be the SF90. It is an electrified supercar that combines a V8, with 4.0 liters in displacement and twin-turbocharging, with three electric motors. The total output is rated at 986 hp (1,000 ps / 735 kW), enough to deal with the 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint in just 2.5 seconds.

The official spec sheet of Maranello’s exotic reveals 6.3 seconds required to hit 124 mph (200 kph) from a standstill, an impressive achievement for a vehicle that tips the scales at 3,460 lbs (1,570 kg) dry. The fuel consumption is of little interest to anyone who can afford to blow a small fortune on such a machine, yet Ferrari says that it returns the equivalent of 38.6 mpg US (6.1 l/100 km). Flat-out, it will do 211 mph (340 kph).

Depending on the specification, and when it was built, the Nissan GT-R can have anywhere between under 500 hp and just a little over 600 hp in the range-topping Nismo, produced by the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6. That may not sound like much, yet the Godzilla is still capable of giving modern supercars a run for their money. But can this one handle an SF90 Stradale? You know what to do to find out.
