Ferrari SF90 Stradale
The most powerful road-going Ferrari car ever is a 986-horsepower plug-in hybrid
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has just been revealed, and the most important thing to know is that it's Ferrari's most powerful production car yet with 986 horsepower. The next most important thing to know is that it's a plug-in hybrid with a turbocharged V8.
The powertrain features Ferrari's most powerful V8 yet making 769 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque on its own. It also has three electric motors with two at the front and one in the back, and combined they can provide up to 217 horsepower. This also means that the SF90 Stradale is all-wheel-drive.
Getting power from the internal combustion powertrain to the wheels is an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that shifts 100 milliseconds faster than the transmission in the 488 Pista, but it also weighs about 22 pounds less than Ferrari's existing 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This is due in part to not needing a reverse gear, since reverse is handled by the front motors. In total, the SF90 weighs in at 3,461 pounds. And at 155 mph, the aerodynamics add 860 pounds of downforce. When everything is deployed on pavement, it hits 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. And for Ferraristi, it lapped the Fiorano test track in 1 minute and 19 seconds.
Of course being a plug-in hybrid, it does have a full electric range. It's a bit short at 15.5 miles. Then again, this isn't entirely about fuel economy; the electric motors allows for torque vectoring, and provide extra traction on launch and help fill in any throttle lag from the gas engine.
The interior is high-tech, too. The instrument cluster is a huge 16-inch display. The steering wheel now features touch pads for controlling the instrument cluster, too.

Wow, that’s mind-blowing... and to think most will just sit in very rich people’s huge garages, occasionally brought out for some ‘event’ but never using all that power...

Cool looking car, very similar technology from the NSX. 
$670K price tag!!
Not sure I would trust a Italian car with all that technology though.
Only thing I find odd is the rear tail light treatment, reminds me of a Corvette or GM car, they should have went with a slightly different design.

I would not trust the technology in this car. I saw guys with Ferrari having very basical electric problems before. And now Ferrari would have the know how to do an electric power plant running ?

They usually have a fleet of 10+ cars. They also keep them 1-2 yrs and put less than 5k miles.
