Ferrari SF90 Stradale : picture and news thread

Good luck extracting those numbers out of this car. Drove one once and similar cars many times....
Numbers on paper are impressive, but without the 'blasphemy' electronics, you can't put the power down.
Besides that, the SF90 is a completely different concept. Apples vs pears.

 

All I can say is it's not pretty...

 

Respectfully disagree,
But with a red colored roof ..

 

Not even remotely comparable and totally off topic.

 

All red or all black even at that angle will look good....

 

That is a beautiful car right there. The more I see it the more I like it.

I think they did a very good job. It’s not perfect however even PF didn’t produce perfection EVERY time.

 

I really want to see this thing in person. Pictures don’t always tell the full story

 

You have to think that more than 90% of Joe public would just love this car. The AF grey car just looks stunning to me, and much nicer than the yellow or red cars. Not sure why that is, after all, the car is no ‘sophisticated’ V12? Maybe it’s the technical nature and look of this car that means it suits grey better?

 

To be realistic, solid red or yellow are not good colours for modern sports cars, visually. It's consensus that metallic light-to-medium shades such as silvergreys best show and accentuate the lines of these objects...

 

Ferrari disagrees

 

Yellow is about the only color I like for mid engine Ferraris, and red for the front V12's. So I guess I'll continue to be unrealistic. Can't go wrong with silver though.

 

Seriously? Red & yellow are NOT good colors for 'modern' sports cars? Sez who?

 

I think it is down to individual preference...I’ve had most of my Ferraris in different shades of grey or silver, but I did not like the SF90 in grey when I saw it in Maranello on May 29. The red car on the other hand was breathtaking... I think I will go with a bright non metallic this time!

Good choice !
Red roof too ?

 

Residuals would disagree with you.

 

Am I the only one who's sick of two tone cars/black roofs? They were cool for a minute with the Gallardo and 458, but I'm sick of them.

It was actually my biggest complaint about the 720S because it had those glass rear pillars and thus you couldn't paint the roof.

Solid color cars for me.

 

Forgive me, perhaps it has already been said and repeated several times, but I would like to know if any of you know what the small fin on the roof of the SF90 is for. Is it an antenna? A stylistic quirk?

 

I have never had a two-tone roof but on this occasion I think it has been designed in to the car. I think the roof is meant to be a flow from windscreen to roof to rear engine cover, bisected by the painted metal wrap-over element at the rear three-quarter. Without the black roof you lose this element.

 

A camera, I guess, like in the XX cars.

 

"Not good" meaning some other colours, especially metallics, show body lines better. Solid colours always tend to mute complex surfaces. A number of people in recent times in this forum have exposed and agreed to this, I'm not making it up.
The success of red Ferraris is obviously completely driven by tradition, Ferraris were typically red and it's the colour most people associate the brand with, to the point that market, resale values, as has been pointed out, strongly favor red cars.

I feel almost dumb explaining the historic importance of red colour for Ferrari in this forum... like y'all didn't know!

I can’t quite put my finger on it but there is something that reminds me of Testarossa here. Obviously no slats but certainly the size increase over the F8 (like TR v 348), but also maybe the different rake to the C-pillar (more vertical and inverted, again like TR v 348) and the added cab-forward appearance that gives. Also the slightly rising side-window line towards the A-pillar and the feeling of the proportions around the intersection between the front wing, base of the windscreen and front edge of the door. And a very long nose forward of the front axle, combined with a very short overhang behind the rear axle.

 

Side mirrors are fantastic. The rear lights don't really digest them. The GTC4 / 812 / F8 are so beautiful... but why distort them like this ?!
