Judging a book by its cover is never wise. I am certain that people will be blown away by the way that the SF90 drives and performs.
What you are describing is not a modern Ferrari. Ferraris were always about the engine and the speed; they were never the lightest cars around, even though you can't really call them obese.
So does the car have an S duct thing or not? The hood looks like it does, but the image of the trunk implies that it doesn't. Is it just going to pool water? My gut tells me there has to be a drain in it somewhere, but I don't see it.

Glass roofs are overrated anyway. You can barely even see out of them most of the time, if at all, without leaning your head back.
People should stop being critical of things they don't understand. From Ferrari's website: "The front bumper is divided into two sections that have specific wing functions. Between the upper section and the bonnet is a pronounced indent that locally compresses the flow. This feature, together with the two diffusers ahead of the front wheels, contributes to generating downforce over the front axle. "
That's wrong. The car has carbon fiber reinforces in cabin floor and b billar zone (the last one is very big) ciao
Looks that way doesn't it. I think the rads are in the corners and exhaust out the bottom and the little side vents like on the Pista. It's stuff like this that makes me believe that this car is really designed without a focused performance agenda (like the Ford GT, for example) but rather a luxury range topper with nice style and big numbers. Don't think we'll see the car racing anytime soon.
Agreed, but in the context of what this car is, a range topping luxury car, I thought it might have a glass roof. I mean what's a few more pounds when you're almost at 4000 lbs.
I don't see it as a luxury car, more like an extreme performance supercar. Let's face it, today's hybrid supercars cannot possibly be featherweights. In that context, every little bit of weight saving helps and a glass roof certainly doesn't.
Yes, of course. I just thought that some buyers of these cars would like that option. A lot of current lesser cars now with full glass roofs.
So there is no vent cut in the hood, only an indent that is accented in black? I see a patent coming ;p
So basically the slot/opening is cosmetic. All that is saying is that they've effectively scooped out the hood to slow down the airflow and reduce lift on the front of the car and "styled" around that. It's things like this and the "Gurney" thingy at the back, the flying butresses and internal flow tricks that really show that styling is the preeminent objective on their designs. Simpler, more effective aero solutions would probably work better and result in a "lighter" looking car but then they wouldn't be able to counter Lambo's styling excess - which admittedly seems to work very well for Lambo. And Ferrari are taking notice.
I think I saw something on this in another post but I'm lost in all the threads since the reveal of SF90.
Maybe already discussed but what's the deal with the wheels on the leaked picture car? Not seen on any official pics or have they? Image Unavailable, Please Login
You are the expert in this field, sir, but my interpretation of this sentence is that the slot serves towards this purpose. I go by what I just read in the press release, my aero knowledge is non-existent. Could it also serve as ventilation for the electric units that sit inside the boot? I find it rather unlikely that it is purely cosmetic, as it is both rather inconspicuous and not really eye-pleasing.
Hilarious Mike - They're not to see out of. Glass creates ambiance plus it helps differentiate the car from other brands and gives folks who like it a reason to lean towards that brand. I think its a fabulous concept
