The first Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale has finally set wheels on the London tarmac and everyone stopped and stared. Its future owner can't possibly keep a low profile in that car. The way it looks and the way it sounds will turn everyone's heads.
Just seconds into its first drive through London, and it is already a sensation. The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale has just arrived in Mayfair, London. It is one of the 799 units that will roll off the production line in Maranello.
There is, though, one less in the world after one of the 799 was totaled in a crash on a motorway in Finland last year. The insurance company paid a record compensation for the damage.
But this one is still in one piece, and hopefully, it will stay that way. Ferrari claimed that all the units had already been assigned to customers, even before the XX version was unveiled last year. But this particular example is for sale at the dealership in London, with no information about its background.
The London dealership keeps the price under wraps, so you will have to contact them to find out. The SF90 XX Stradale starts at around $890,000 in the United States. However, checking a few option boxes can take it above the $1 million mark.
This example is designed to be a head-turner. It is painted in Rosso Magma triple-layer paint and rides on multi-spoke black carbon wheels. The model sports carbon fiber aero elements, a huge tail wing included.
It is a wing that Ferrari purists have almost started a campaign against. However, it is a ‘form follows function’ affair because that wing was thoroughly researched, tested, and developed for extra downforce. Actually, the SF90 XX Stradale delivers double the maximum downforce of the SF90 Stradale.
Meanwhile, the interior of the supercar is all black leather and Alcantara with contrasting red stitching.
Once the Ferrari drove out of the H.R. Owen dealership in Mayfair, it was enough for the driver to turn the engine on and everyone in the street grabbed their phones to snap some photos of the supercar.
There was another car that got quite a lot of attention before the special unveiling event focused on the Ferrari. A W16-powered Bugatti Chiron painted black, sporting contrasting red elements, was parked right outside.
But going back to the Ferrari that we are here for, it is the first street-legal car to get the XX lettering, previously reserved for motor racing. Track-focused but street-legal, it comes with a mid-mounted 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine engine.
The V8 pumps out 786 horsepower (797 metric horsepower) and works alongside three electric motors, which add 230 horsepower (233 metric horsepower) to the equation for a total of 1,016 horsepower (1,030 metric horsepower). An 8-speed dual-clutch transmission puts the power down through all four wheels.
All those numbers make the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale flash from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) in 2.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 199 mph (320 kph). However, there is no way the future owner could see that for themselves in London or anywhere in the UK.
