his sf90 was supposed to arrive in April 1/4mile-9.3s-150.7mph is definitely better than what Brooks hit on the dragstrip O_O 0-186-16.4s, in this case I would have expected a bit better
it's "quattroruote" test? that magazine - as an Italian I know it very well - measure the weight in his own way, that is "Massa in condizioni di prova". According to them means with all test-instrumentation onboard (but i don't how much it weighs) and 100kg for the driver ("abbiamo sei collaudatori di taglie diverse, quelli piccoli e magri si portano in macchina la zavorra". Source engineer Marco Perucca Orfei, manager of QR Test Center, ast least at the time of this answer) and of course with full tank of fuel.
0-186-16,4s isn’t enough for you ? This is quicker than a Laferrari in real world. This car is a monster.
laferrari 17s. Yes, claimed on paper, but I've never found a serious official test that reported the "real" value, so I stick to what ferrari declares, which usually differs very little from the official tests (1-2 tenths). Laferrari is lighter, sure, but it doesn't have a turbo engine (more torque), an 8-speed gearbox (shorter gearing than laf) and the all wheel drive which helps a lot from a standing start and that affects the overall time, so I would have expected something better (let's say 14-15s territory). Yes the car is a monster, I'm not saying it isn't
Thought so… I guess the reason he isn’t commentating on the weight, is because their isn’t a problem with the weight.. go drive one and the words “Blimey, that feels heavy” won’t come out of your mouth. I don’t know how Ferrari have done it, because it’s weight is written down for all to see, but what ever they have done, it’s a technical tour de force, how this feels. Not as nimble as a Pista, but not far off.. Yes, it doesn’t sound as good as the old models, yes, it doesn’t look as attractive as the old models but this is an exceptional motor car. I was a skeptic but since my 3 demo days in Standard SF90 and 1Track Demo in SF90 Assetto Fiorano, I’ve never looked forward more to a delivery day from Ferrari or Lamborghini. Yes, I wish it was louder, Yes, I wish the wheel options were better, but that will not distract 1 iota.. from the AF SF90 I’m Status 30 on.. I know this car is divisive but I dont want to read comments about weight and it’s heavy from people who have not driven the car.
I have seen 14.9'' run. Too bad I don't have a pic. Do you have any proof for that 19? An F8 does it in 20''! As per Ferrari's claims in all cases.
It did 150 in 9.7'', when R&T clocked it. 180 in 14'' is not a far reach, especially given its active aero. Ferrari's times have been proved right and correct time and time again in the past 20 years. Case in point, they claim 6.7'' for the 0-200 kph dash for the Stradale, yet QR achieved 6.3"!!!
Its a reach. Look at the rate of deceleration from 140-150 mph during that test. 180 mph will arrive in about 16 seconds. if Ferrari said Laferrari could break the speed of sound you’d argue it could.
Congratulations! I agree with you. This is a street car. What matters most is how you enjoy it. The weight is interesting to know, but for me, its really no more than that. That you had these experiences and are this exciting is the most important proof as far as I am concerned. I think the car is a breakthrough and hard for us to get our heads around. It is different.

It feels no heavy than other ferraris. You will feel the weight on braking but that also is minor issue until your brake is overheating. But then, you can not tell what made brake to over heat. Is it a weight? Or is it a speed this car manages to handle? This car is so much faster than other cars I have driven. The only car this fast was chiron but only on straight. Cornering speed is out of this worldly, beyond match. I was planning to get the car fast, drive the hell out of it on track then sell it fast. Now I am so much into driving SF90, it has 2500kms now within less than a month. I am doomed with depreciation lol. I am changing tires from cup2r to mp4s for some sideway fun today. This car will stay for a while for sure. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
QT results should always have * on any measured test. No way is the SF90 that fast. Real stats will come when Brook's tests his own SF90.
