In the spring of 2019, Ferrari unveiled the SF90 Stradale, a nearly 1000-horsepower, street-legal supercar that is both homage—it was revealed during the 90th anniversary of Ferrari Scuderia racing—and forward-thinking hybrid-harbinger of an EV transition that follows in the footsteps of the LaFerrari.
The SF90 Stradale is awfully fetching to boot, with wedge-car angularity tempered with distinctly feminine lines, and over the last year and a half might’ve stimulated curiosity about what a convertible version would look like with the top down. For those who did engage in such an imaginative lark, the speculation is over.
To close out the autumn season of 2020, Ferrari has unveiled the SF90 Stradale Spider for the 2021 model year. It’s a retractable hardtop design, and it can make the transition in 14 seconds.
Like the SF90 Stradale, the SF90 Stradale Spider has a shut-off Gurney, a component of the wing that retracts into the body. The drivetrain is identical to the hardtop iteration, of course, with three electric motors supplementing a 4L V8 gas-burner; the hybrid drivetrain produces the same 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque as the hardtop, and it can reach 62 MPH in the same 2.5 seconds on its way to the same top speed of 211 MPH as the non-convertible version.
The SF90 Stradale is priced from $500K; the Spider variation adds about $60K to the sticker.
