It's not unusual for an automotive producers to polish the final details of a machine after this has made its official debut. So while Ferrari is keeping us busy with SF90 Stradale eye candy on social media (check out the post below), the carmaker's engineers are completing the final testing stage of the thousand-horsepower monster.
A test car of the SF90 S has been spotted leaving the factory in Maranello for a few hours, as you can notice in the image above (leans tip to Autogespot).
The newcomer doesn't take the Prancing Horse to entirely new places. However, it does mix AWD (albeit not the two-gearbox kind used by the Ferrari FF and the GTC4Lusso) with gas-electric power that tops that of the LaFerrari.
So each of the front wheels gets a dedicated electric motor, while the rear axle is animated by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo motor churning out 780 hp and working with a third electric motor.
As such, the maximum output of the gas-electric powertrain sits at 1,000 ponies. Oh, and unlike the LaF, this is the Italian automaker's first production plug-in hybrid.
Nevertheless, the newcomer isn't a Ferrari halo car, so we can't say it replaces the LaFerrari, which is now six years old.
The pricing and availability haven't been announced yet, but the detail above means we have a few clues towards this.
Of course, the SF90 is just a step of Ferrari's hybrid revolution. The automaker will also use gas-electric power for its upcoming Purosangue SUV, even though this might mix electric propulion with a V6 rather than a V8 - here's a rendering of the high-riding Fezza, which does borrow elements from the SF90.
Speaking of which, Ferrari is also expected to introduce a line of entry-level sportscars, which will be powered by V6-based hybrid powertrains, albeit while delivering monumental performance.
