Ferrari SF90 XX Spider | Full Review | Autocar

This is the Ferrari SF90 XX. The SF90, perhaps the least-loved of modern Ferraris, needed a little shove to stand in the limelight, so Ferrari’s answer has been to go harder and use a formerly very exclusive programme name. The Ferrari SF90 XX is the first XX car to be road legal. It wasn’t in the original production plan for the SF90, which tells you something about its gestation. It’s a decade since Ferrari’s last extra-special-series XX car, the La Ferrari-based FXX-K, was introduced. It was thought that Maranello had so far either made fewer than a hundred XX-branded cars in total. There’ll be nearly 1400 SF90 XXs, divided between coupes and convertibles. It’s got some very special design features and specification upgrades: it makes 1016bhp at 7900rpm, can do 0-62mph in and has a 199mph top speed. And of course it’s a plug-in hybrid which can do 18 miles on electricity alone. It cost £730,000. Join our editor-at-large Matt Prior as he tests the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider fo
