It's probably safe to assume jacked-up supercars won't form a class of their own anytime soon, as they're nothing more than niche products appealing to deep-pocketed enthusiasts who want to drive them on lawns every once in a while without being afraid of damaging those expensive underbodies.
The offering is very limited as it comprises only two models: the Porsche 911 Dakar and the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. Both are based on the regular models and set themselves apart by boasting more hair-chested looks. You get the usual updates at the front, sides, and rear, some additional cladding, exclusive wheels, and more inches under their bellies.
Thus, no matter how much some may want to thrash them on a challenging course far away from the comfort of the tarmac, they're not meant for that. That would require a body-on-frame construction backed by long-travel suspension, low-range gearboxes, proper locking diffs, and additional underbody protection. One could up the ante by fitting them with steel bumpers, winches, snorkels, and all sorts of similar parts, and only then they could be considered true off-roaders.
It doesn't look like the two models mentioned above will face some competition from rivaling brands anytime soon, as companies such as Ferrari and McLaren are not interested in launching similar products. However, that doesn't mean that we cannot get to see what such vehicles would look like, albeit with a virtual twist. In this case, it was ildar_project on Instagram who gave it a shot at imagining a bad-boy version of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, and it features quite a few upgrades that are worth mentioning.
Can you tell what's new without looking at a picture of the regular electrified supercar? Why, of course you can, as the jacked-up design was obviously born as a result of the pixel rearranging process, and so were the roof rack carrying an extra spare wheel and the black plastic cladding. Speaking of the wheels, these are also new, and they were digitally wrapped in a set of chunkier tires. The nose received some upgrades of its own, like the addition of a pair of extra lights, and there is a bit more black on the apron, front hood, and side mirror caps. The new 90 logo decorates the doors and appears to round off the virtual makeover.
If it were to happen, the Ferrari SF90 Off-Road Edition would probably be slightly less powerful than the Stradale. Speaking of power, you're looking at a total of 986 hp (1,000 ps/736 kW) produced by its turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and three electric motors. The SF90 Stradale needs 2.5 seconds from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) and tops out at 211 mph (340 kph). The beastlier SF90 XX enjoys a combined 1,016 hp (1,030 ps/758 kW), is two-tenths quicker, and the top speed has dropped to 199 mph (320 kph).
