Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale 2023

2023

Unveiled at Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit on June 29, 2023, the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is a limited special series derived from the SF90 Stradale. It combines a 3,990 cc twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors to produce up to 1,030 cv. Its development focuses heavily on circuit performance, with extensively revised aerodynamics, a fixed rear wing and updated electronic control systems. Despite its uncompromising track orientation, the car remains road legal. The SF90 XX Stradale therefore represents a new interpretation of Ferrari’s XX concept, which had previously been associated with cars designed exclusively for closed-course use.

History

The SF90 XX Stradale emerged from the meeting of two different Ferrari traditions. On one side, the company had spent roughly two decades developing road-legal special versions such as the 488 Pista and 812 Competizione. On the other, its XX Programme produced highly capable cars for experienced clients, without road homologation. Ferrari decided to apply that experimental philosophy to the SF90 Stradale, itself already engineered as a high-performance plug-in hybrid sports car.

The project initially began as a technical exercise focused on aerodynamics and extracting more circuit performance from the SF90 platform. It was later approved for limited production. Unveiled at Fiorano on June 29, 2023, alongside the SF90 XX Spider, the SF90 XX Stradale became the first Ferrari carrying the XX name to be homologated for road use. It retains the SF90’s plug-in hybrid architecture, while adding an upgraded combustion engine, much more aggressive aerodynamic solutions and dedicated electronic calibration.

Anecdotes

The SF90 XX Stradale is the first road-homologated car created under Ferrari’s XX concept. It is also the first road-going Ferrari since the F50 to use a prominent fixed rear wing, according to Ferrari and established automotive coverage. On October 16, 2023, Ferrari development driver Raffaele de Simone recorded a 1:17.309 lap at Fiorano in a car fitted with carbon-fibre wheels and Michelin Cup 2 R tyres. Ferrari described the result as a record for a road-homologated car.

Production

Ferrari announced a production run of 799 examples for the SF90 XX Stradale. The simultaneously introduced SF90 XX Spider was allocated a further 599 cars. These figures describe the manufacturer’s announced volumes for the two body styles and should not be treated as a confirmed count of vehicles actually delivered. At the time of its unveiling, automotive publications reported that both versions had already been allocated or were unavailable through a conventional ordering process, reinforcing their highly exclusive positioning. The SF90 XX Stradale therefore occupies a very different place from the regular SF90 Stradale, with production structured around Ferrari’s limited special-series strategy.

Press reception

Early road tests generally focused on the scale of the aerodynamic changes and the SF90 XX Stradale’s ability to use its performance on a circuit. Car and Driver highlighted its substantial downforce, plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel-drive layout. MotorTrend placed particular emphasis on the pace achieved at Fiorano and on the car’s role as the first genuine bridge between XX Programme hardware and a road-going Ferrari. Publications also noted that the car retains grand-touring equipment, including air conditioning and power windows, despite its highly uncompromising track focus.

Evolution

Compared with the SF90 Stradale, the SF90 XX Stradale changes nearly every component associated with circuit performance. The V8 gains new pistons, polished intake and exhaust ports, and a revised combustion chamber. Thermal output rises to 797 cv, while the complete hybrid system reaches 1,030 cv.

The most obvious transformation is aerodynamic. The hood, fenders, underbody, diffuser and rear section were redesigned. A fixed rear wing works with an active aerodynamic element to increase high-speed downforce. Ferrari quotes 530 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. The cabin also adopts carbon-fibre monocoque seats and removes selected trim materials, bringing the driving environment closer to that of a dedicated track machine while preserving road-car equipment.

Variants

The SF90 XX range introduced in 2023 consists of two body styles. The SF90 XX Stradale is the fixed-roof coupe and the version most directly focused on aerodynamic efficiency. The SF90 XX Spider follows the same mechanical architecture and performance philosophy, but uses a retractable hardtop. Ferrari states that the roof can open or close in 14 seconds at speeds of up to 45 km/h.

Both models share the twin-turbocharged V8, three electric motors, eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and principal electronic upgrades. The Spider uses additional airflow-management solutions to maintain occupant comfort with the roof lowered. Their announced production allocations also differ: 799 examples for the coupe and 599 for the Spider.
