The Ferrari SF90 Stradale doesn't just blur the line between supercar and hypercar - it decimates it. This is not some trackday special, or some limited production, three-million dollar garage queen - the SF90 is a series production car, meaning you're going to see them on the streets. Making an astronomical 986 HP from it's twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, the SF90 is the most technologically advanced Ferrari road car ever - but does that mean we want it? Or are we rapidly approaching the beginning of the end?

If you want to learn more about the SF90 "on further reflection," I wrote 3,300 words about it for Road & Track! www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a36542245/ferrari-sf90-drive-review/
Thank you for hiding the nose of the M3 at the beginning.
The SF90 is too heavy to be in the category of a super sports car.
Will you state that to be the facts for posterity?
I like how you had to throw on a Pepsi Rolex just to flex a little extra today
Amazing, cant to see you in a Huracan STO in a couple months🔥
The only question is... How does it compare to the 765LT🤔😏😏
Oh boy, so glad the shift times are down 35%. My F8 Tributo is like a slush box.
Yeah thank goodness!
haha good one
I'm more into the new aluminum floor pan, my Laferarri is kind of a porker with the old floor plan design.
🤣🤣🤣
the hot wheels or just a miniature one?
9:47 "It really swallows up and gives you that up and down... Thats what you like" Turns out Matt knows me well
😂
I'm dying lololol
At $700k you'd think the whole "It's a hybrid so we have to do a future interface" thing would be overridden by an engineer going "Yeah this is a car that the driver shouldn't have to think about what button they just touched"
@Vq37 hr typical ferrari, make it look new and futuristic but old tech
I think we need to give a bit more credit to that Civic driver who recognized that someone was trying to have some fun on the backroads and pulled over
If only drivers were that respectful in Portland. LOL
@@ADHDriver they're typically not that respectful in the US either lol
@@DamirS2K Portland is in the US, stupid 😂
@@X11CHASE I misread the comment. Thank God there's someone as smart as you on here.

I remember when Zack first started doing one takes, lots of people were in the comments expressing their concerns with seeing a new person on this channel. Zack is doing an absolute killer job with these reviews now!!!
His Integra type r review was amazing
I can’t even fathom how much money the dudes that buy these things make a year. It’s fuckin bananas, dude.
I always figured the average buyer for these cars can afford them about as well as an average person affords an average price new car (which is to say not very well at all), except the Ferrari buyer sells it long before it's paid off so he never really buys it. And he probably gets back what it was worth new too. So realistically the Ferrari dude could only "reasonably" afford to pay off maybe a $150,000 car or something but he's able to stretch and get his hands on something quite a bit past his means like most people.
I don't care about the SF90. I see a Genny avatar in the comments I click like. What a timeless looking coupe.
If you can buy this car its no longer how much per year you make its just net worth. You’ve either sold a company or have crazy high income from entertainment or high level law or medicine
Enough where spending $700k doesn’t make a dent. Price doesn’t matter to those that can buy this car. Nobody that buys this car has to think about what they need to do in order to afford it.
I think like $250,000/year on the low end or so you could afford one of these probably
I feel like Zack is choosing his words carefully in the presence of the Ferrari chaperone. Like he’s an art critic at a Korean dictator’s personal gallery.
...hah...made Matt break out an F bomb...
SF-90 is literally the pinnacle of automotive engineering below $1M price tag...
You’re right about diminishing returns for regular production run cars. What my experience tells me from owning cars from a 370z to C7 corvette to a pdk 911s to v10 R8 is that faster is not the same as more fun. If you’re driving a Miata on a mountain road, it is 100% fun and 0% fear. You can ring it out to it’s 100% capacity and leaves you longing for more, because it is not enough power. When you get to a corvette or 911S, it is 80% fun and 20% fear. When you get to the R8 it is 50% fun and 50% fear. I would imagine that the SF90 is like 30% fun and 70% fear. That would be like sky-diving daily. Your brain tells you it is too much risk for how much fun you are having, my current ride is a 981 Cayman S, the previous generation 6 cylinder with old school 6 speed transmission. It is 90% fun with a 10% touch of fear.it is the most “fun” car I’ve ever had. You can wring it out to 100% without it killing you. It is more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.
That thing is badass, but I would still prefer the V12 roar of the 812 Superfast. :)
agreed, the only thing i liked about ferrari was the high pitch v8's and v12's
Definitely!!!
All day
Seeing Matt on the bed had me wondering if I was on the correct site!! 🤣🤣🤣
Matt’s Only Fans. I didn’t know he was struggling like that.
Matt's new channel, "Bear Brigade" is growing.
Hah, it was wild seeing the cars in the background driving backwards at 4:32.
The Ferrari has a HUGE advantage, driving forwards and all.
that's so weird, i think they reverse the footage for whatever reason. first time i've noticed it
This road has the highest concentration of yellow BMW's I've ever seen
I was wondering what's up with that

Haven't heard matt farahs giggle in a while
Glad he let Zack drive
I'd giggle too if I had a platinum Pepsi Rolex on my wrist driving a SF90
@@mrvapor4791 he was born rich so no problems getting multiple luxury watches
@@Chris-hw4mq Yeah cause there's like a waiting list for that watch.
Zack did a fantastic job on his part of the review!
Agree
Agree
Maybe a good review, but the energy went from way up here to a doug demuro snooze fest. I think it would've worked better as a separate video. I found myself skipping forward a lot. And I like Zack's POV and commentary sometimes, especially when Matt and him are together.
He's really hitting his stride.
When you spend so much on the best powertrain engineers you can hire, that you have to get Jimbo the alcoholic janitor to design the interior and controls.
Exterior too /:

As a fan, as a car enthusiast, and as a cyclist, I thank you tremendously for your courtesy to bicyclists! I wish everyone wanted to avoid a manslaughter charge as badly as you.
“...and that’s jail time” -new way to describe how fast you’re driving
That means 100. I’ve deleted my videos showing Speedo in jail time range.
Not a big fan of the 4th gen Camaro front design.
Bringing back the old one take feel, talking about vehicular manslaughter and throwing out the gentleman and a scholar line👌👍
@ 4:50 you can tell The wraparound is reversed because there’s a pick up truck going backwards😂
Shout out to the car that pulled over - the real mvp
700k.these new ferrari cars just don't move me.the noise is the emotion.give me a 360 manual or a 458 anyday
Super fast for me
Electic Mode is "ED"... they know their target customers 😂
More and more I'm appreciating F430's as far as user interface is concerned. I was never a fan of buttons on the steering for simple things like wipers but man the Touch Buttons are a whole another level.
the design team is definitely dead since they left Pinninfarina.
I agee, it's not a pretty car. The wheels are killer though.
Man is it me or does it look a lot like a 90’s Camero or the new vet? Not a fan of the styling Ferrari is putting out the last few years except the Pista.
@@seanbooth845 How can it look like a new 'vette when it predates the vette? Is it not the other way around. '90's Camaro, are you even for real?
Sorry but that’s what I see. I prefer the wedge shape Ferrari’s.
I always felt that the 488 is the most beautiful modern Ferrari, and that’s not a Pininfarina design. I also really like the 812 and the GTC4 Lusso. Of course this is all just a matter of preference, so debating is pointless.
Matt, serious question for you. Would you rather own this or a manual F355?
I feel like most people are too caught up with numbers (lap time, 0-60, etc.) and trying to make more power to remember what is important in a drivers car, the experience. The sound of an N/A engine, the clink-clink of a gated manual, heel-toe-ing, taking it to redline without doing 10x the speed limit, etc. Idk, personally this car just doesn't do it for me.
If I had enough to buy this, I would buy a road legal 355 challenge and beat the ever loving balls off it, and have a second powertrain on a stand to just swap in when it was time for service.
986hp brand new Ferrari!!!!!! Boy was I excited to test drive it in April🤩
Never have I been so disappointed by driving a brand new car. First there is no luggage room when I asked the salesman if I could place my winter jacket in the frunk, half of which were occupied by electric charging cables. After putting my duffel coat there, it literally was only space left for 2-3 cartons of milk left. I mean, if I was crazy enough to buy this car, I’d like to be able to take my wife on a hotel weekend getaway without having the luggage being transported in another vehicle...
Inside the annoyingly shiny and hard faced carbon coated cockpit, I had to choose between leg room or a comfortable angle on my back rest while in the passenger seat. After fiddling with the idiotic touch screen controls on a tiny dark screen for a few minutes, I settled on a compromise not giving me the necessary leg room or a comfortable seating position for my back. And I’m only 5"9inches tall.
Behind the wheel the space is a little better, but the flimsy sun visors were a laugh. After putting in race and having a go behind the wheel of this almost 1000hp monster, which is FAST, brakes phenomenally and have a surgical steering precision, I found to my immens surprise and disbelief he car is really laggy and power is nowhere near instantaneously as in the 992TurboS we drove to the venue in. It’s just unbelievable that the 3 electric motors aren’t able to fill in the gaps of torque on the turbo V8. In normal everything is docile and calm enough, but when you put the foot down, car is jerky, not confidence inspiring and not very fun to drive at all.
Lastly the ground clearance meant we scraped the expensive carbon fiber nose on every little undulation on the B-roads we drove, even when maintaining speed limits, not to mention in the city cobblestone... Nose lift??? The Porsche just powered through like a champion in the same environment where the double-the-price Ferrari had to be treated like a porcelain doll. It just hilarious IRL conditions. If it only had been fun to drive... Looks gorgeous though😍
Man did a better review than anybody else
6:41 The sound you make when your entire gastrointestinal tract is literally in your throat.
this made me laugh so fucking hard
@4:52 Love it when trucks drive backward! Totally normal.
Nice catch
That front hammerhead-like thing that partially covers the lights is really off putting. I'd pick a 458 or 488 Pista rather than the SF90.
?
On style points, definitely a 458 over this I agree.
it looks like a blob fish.
The design does feel like a missed opportunity... Ferrari got the engine right here, but if they evolved the design of the LaFerrari this would've been an absolute classic (It probably will still be a classic). It just could've been so much better.
For $500k this is probably one of the best value cars, but I'd just get a 765lt and a Pista and call it a day.
@@Quasar909 this is NOT the LaF successor, so no they should not do that
Incredibly confused @4:50 when the pickup truck came hurtling around that corner backwards in the wrong lane...
Look at how far down the engine is mounted, would really hate to have to service it I bet the first step is to pull the motor
Sure it's low but it's also a bit exaggerated since the engine compartment itself goes essentially to the roof.
matters very little. somebody that buys and services a vehicle like this is gonna be well aware that any service visit is gonna be a somewhat extended stay. there is zero reason for this car to be conventionally easy to work on.
Ferrari gives you 7 years of service for free on any of their new cars. So as an owner you don't really have to care about how much work it is to change the spark plugs or oil
@@DenisKudlik true but its more for the second or third owner who is more likely to be stretching for the car anyhow
@@DenisKudlik I’ve always heard this, is it really true? 7 years free service? Let’s say I owned a 2016 488 gtb, if I took it in for ANY service, it would be free? Any service at all??
it must be amazing to be behind that type of pure power....thanks for taking the time to at least let us visualize
What do you think of the SF90?
i dont
lightweight small electrical systems with their v8/12 is fine by me. hyb is better for environment anyway than big-battery EV, not tht I care. saving fuel by losing nth isnt bad. bt at tht price its a horrible buy. bt for me s2k, 4c, exige, gated f430 are miles better cuz reachable limit is most crucial. saving up to buy at tht order.
I love it, just like any other Ferrari, but i dont like the hybrid part.
750hp out of gas engine is enough for me, dont need extra 200, and it would be nice to have 300kg less onboard.
Feel free to buy me one!
Gimme 1200kg, 500hp and a stick please, these are great for Ferrari motor Co but not for me
Ugly, too heavy, too many haptic buttons, like a 918 but uglier, worse sounding, too much power and too fast for the road, cheaper and 8 years too late.
As awesome as it is...I’d still buy a 458 over this. Just need the money lol
458 is still plenty fast, and looks better. Plus the sound is on another level.
Personally, I’d prefer a 360 over both of those. ;) That was my poster car growing up.
@@ADHDriver oh yeah can’t go wrong with a 360 either!
Right? With a capristo exhaust....they’re damn near perfect. I think they sound pretty similar to the previous 355, which sounds amazing.
@@ADHDriver oof yes, a exhaust like that and a gated manual would be perfect
5:49 Way to fill out them sleeves. Putting in work. 💪
Looks like a Porsche Taycan crossed with a Chevy C8.
Gotta be the most accurate 👏
With a side view of a Lotus Evora GT
Well now it's permanently ruined for me. Thanks!
Want to ruin a Ferrari SF90 owners day . . . ask him if that's the new C8 Corvette
NoBrakes23. The SF90 predates the C8, so you've got the geneology all mixed up.
Wow, wow that is a stunning looking Ferrari...inside and out. I didn't realize the SF90 was that beautiful. I love the white color!
In the eye of the beholder
Criss cross apple sauce on sexy bamboo sheets ❤️
TST is such a valuable resource of information on how a car actually drives. Matt's not a racecar driver but he is pretty good for an enthusiast and he knows these roads so well. It's always a great test of the car's capabilities in the real world, and with the same setting you can compare his impressions and the way the car handles the road pretty seamlessly from one car to another.
"Don't want to ruin a day in the canyons with a little vehicular manslaughter." ROFLMAO - This man is hilarious.
I wasn't mentally prepared to see matt sitting on a bed trying to convince me to buy something
That curb your enthusiasm reference :)
I really enjoy Zach on these!
I'm glad we finally have a REAL journalist testing this car ;-)
How many touchscreens would you like?
Ferrari: YES
Shame the looks went backwards after the 458. I compare every new one to it, and 458 is just nicer then all of these.
Ferrari needs to hire back pininfarina ASAP
NO is not! The cars are getting better and better and more and more gorgeous!!
@@MarcSob22 Only for those with a lack of sight.
@@HexaSquirrel 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
F8 and 488 both look really good, not better than the 458 but it’s close
Another crazy thing is when in Electric mode it’s FWD
Ok, but what's most impressive is that guy in the truck hauling ass around the corner in reverse at 4:51
(yes, I'm aware the video is in reverse. Still got a chuckle out of me)
As someone who isnt at all a Ferrari fan, I really do quite like the idea of the SF90 Stradale, but I absolutely don't like how it looks.
It isnt at all ugly, it just doesnt look like a Ferrari.
However, none of that really matters, because I cant remotely afford one.
Regardless, another awesome review, Matt!
The front end styling is just... not doing it for me.
agreed
Certainly not in white..
@@Cynycter I was gonna say that once I saw it in white, it looks so not like a high end Ferrari. Lol
Yep after the gorgeous Roma its a letdown, I thought Ferrari were going back to their traditional design, Ferraris should be beautiful but it seems like they want to be Lamborghini.
I think it looks quite nice lol
"There's no public road anywhere where this is usable"
Autobhan laughing in the background
Excellent video as always... But just a friendly suggestion, you could get rid of a lot of dash reflections if you had a dialed-in polarizer on your camera.
amazing car and i know i wont ever own one but the touch buttons is an auto 0/10 for me. Worst idea ever.
hey...you will own one if you want. believe in it
4:48 the video is in reverse lol that truck tripped me out.
Ferrari: guys we need something that can kinda compete with all these awd 1000hp hondas everywhere.
Zack comparing it to an alien craft/spaceship makes it sound very interesting driving experience! Thanks for the video with some nice external shots and some rolling shots.
4:50 anyone notice the pickup on the road going BACKWARDS. This video has been edited to run reversed in this section.
I'd love a review between this and the 765LT. 0-60 and 1/4 mile are similar, and although the 765 is down on power, it's curb weight is almost 700 lb less. Which is the better overall driver's car? 🤔
I think that the one who doesn't weight as much as a tank is the better driver's car
@@abelluque8611 SF90 weighs similar to a 330i, or even slightly less than a 330i or C8 at a lil under 3600lbs. Which is actually quite light for a 1000hp hybrid supercar. I do still prefer the 765 LT as my ultimate supercar tho
@@abelluque8611 just take a look at the Acura NSX type S weighs almost 3,900 lbs with about half the HP of the SF90. Or the 918 Spyder is over 3,700 lb. And if you go full electric hypercars then you're going way over 4,000 lbs and even 5,000, so a 1,000 HP Ferrari hybrid that has a similar curb weight to a modern golf isn't too bad in my opinion.
High performance hybrid power plants are the future IMHO. The complete shift to full electric power plants could fail miserably if the charging infrastructure doesn’t experience rapid growth, reliability and increased charging speed .
Well, one way or the other fossil fuels are being used up and won’t be around in 50 years so we have to figure out the replacement or you better get used to walking.
@@joeracer302 lol chill guys, u n ur kids will have plenty gas. if we truly want to save gas, passenger planes n military behemoths sud be garaged.
Zack really has come a long way. Good job son!
This looks gorgeous in white. I saw a red one in Crystal Cove, but I like this better.
He didn't waste any time at all rippin' it once he started driving 😂. What a life.
Now I want a more affordable mini SF90, using the 2.9l V6 from the Alfa Guilia with 200hp electric motors on front wheels
For like 700combined horses.
Are you a psychic?
The side view is amazing @3:48, but I simply can't get the old GM Camero / Transam look that the beak and headlights convey out of my minds-eye, at this point. No doubt, this is an incredible car. It needs to be at that price point.
Oh, Zack. Democratizes hybrid cars? :D
Matt you're killing it with Pepsi. My favorite watch.
You can tell that McLaren has really had an impact on how Ferrari has done things since the 458/12C days. Normally they wouldn't chase numbers over the intangibles but with the SF90 it seems to be a different story.
If you're gonna chase McLaren then at least do what McLaren's done right though; a proper steering wheel and a hydraulic rack.
4:48 the walk around is backwards? Look at the truck haha
Can't figure out where this sits in Ferrari hierarchy. Is it an F8 Tributo successor? Special run? Diet La Ferrari?
Below the laferrari and above the 812, don’t know why they did it like that but that’s how it is
Basically 1000hp, awd, 0-60 in 2.5 sec.....nothing "Diet" about it🤣
It’s in its own category, but sits just below limited production runs like LaFerrari.
It's a new category , the LaFerrari successor came out by the end of next year and the F8 successor cames out by the end of this year
I come to these videos for the launch control stay for the turning radius check.
3:40 Yep looks like a longer Lotus Evora
damn, that's what it is. 👌 i knew this looked familiar since this came out but couldn't place it.
4:47 truck driver shows off sweet reverse driving skills.
Beautiful car!
That guy on the bike must be loving his ride that day
I think it is time for the entire automotive industry to have a gentlemen's agreement like the Japanese did back in the 90s.
I wholeheartedly agree. Katie the mother of two doesnt want to go 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds. Save that for the hot hatches and rally homologations,not the ford edges.
7:04 that’s a fast looking seagull 👀
I can't even begin to comprehend this level of performance. I've been in some fast cars, but nothing that puts up numbers like this car does.
I had no idea Ferrari chaperones accompany you on these drives. Hope his uniform includes a pair of depends.
They put the chaperone there to slap Matt every time he try’s to say something negative.
I suspect that the chaperone was virtual. Where would a real person fit.
@Hynea Wasn't there another driver with him in the car, the second presenter? I may be wrong. The voice that told him that the particular feature was not available sounded a bit mechanical though.
The walk around on the outside at around 4mins 10 proper tripped me out with the truck facing wrong way driving down the road until realised it was edited to be reverse 😂
Jail time, I love it.. This is truly my next car, have to liquidate a couple cars but doable. Thanks for the great content.
5:13 - Matt, ya got a spit take with that ED comment 😂
“Don’t want to ruin a day in the canyons with a little vehicular manslaughter, you know what I’m saying...” 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious! I really hope nobody knows what he’s saying in this one...🤣🤣🤣
damn that thing rips.
"Jail time" 🤣 yep you can get yourself in trouble with one of these alright lol
First. only 3 hours with it? They'd have to find me 🤣
That's why they sent them out with a chaperone :)
definitely some of the best car content on show again by the smoking tire. They never disappoint.
My brain suddenly went in fucked up mode when I saw that intro with Matt in undies LOL
Listening to the Ad in the beginning of the video with the fact that i know a stripper named Bamboo in mind is hilarious to me
I don't care what anyone says, i don't like the way the front of this car looks. Ferrari haven't been able to top the looks of the 458 Italia since it came out.
The pista 😔
Lol, I just wrote the same thing, 458 was beautiful, these are just getting uglier
@@Meowhsss So true.
When your depreciated value, focus st also has torque Vectoring magic steering technologies just like this top dollar Ferrari....
Imagine! You even have the same number of wheels and tyres!
It also has a turbocharged ICE running on the Otto cycle, just like this top dollar Ferrari!!I also has a steering wheel and A. C. like the Ferrari!!!!
They’re pretty much the same!! You know. Apart from a few key features, but let’s not be pedantic!
13:04 “my ass was goin up and down” 😩
7:13 woke teens be like :
😂 😂 😂
Been waiting for this one! Also they spec out surprisingly affordable for what it is.
Matt’s giggling at the end of this video tells you all you need to know about this car.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
when you see how low in the engine bay they mounted the motor you can’t help but look under the car to see if part of the engine is pushing into the pavement. I still don’t understand how they managed this, not to mention putting all the hybrid bits that don’t do well with heat in the same compartment.
ikr...? looks a hell of lot lower than just 15mm...? looks HALF A FOOT. must be an optical illusion from the added kit and flattened bodywork sitting above it.
@@phillyphil1513 I think the American meant centimeters, but doesn't know metric system
Was out driving and saw some other journalist driving this very car on Angeles Crest. Car is bananas fast. Was spinning tires at 50 MPH
Was watching this, then realised another human was in the car and likely completely terrified. Amazing dude!
4:35---Cars are hauling ass backward. lol!
good catch I missed that lol
Having even a small hybrid system is super awesome for people like me who like to sneak out for night drives and dont want to wake everyone up, great feature to have
