Unveiled at a dedicated digital event, the SF90 Stradale Spider features a retractable hardtop that can be opened in 14 seconds and can be deployed when the car is on the move.
According to Ferrari, the retractable hardtop takes up just 100 litres of space rather than the 150-200 litres required by a traditional system and it is around 40kg lighter, thanks to the use of aluminium in its construction.
The SF90 Stradale is also available with an additional specification option, the Assetto Fiorano pack.

The pack includes a list of exclusive upgrades that set it apart from the standard car, not least Multimatic shock absorbers derived from the Ferrari’s GT racing experience and optimised for track use.
Others include the adoption of high-performance materials (such as carbon-fibre and titanium) that have shaved 21 kg off the car’s weight, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and road-homologated Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
Lastly, the Assetto Fiorano offers an optional two-tone livery.
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is powered by a 574 kW turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine with three electric motors for combined power outputs of 735 kW and 800 Nm.
All that amount of grunt is accessed via an eight-speed DCT transmission with E-diff. The Ferrari SF90 hurdles from a standstill to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds before hitting the limiter at 340 km/h.

The interior is bolstered with a redesigned HMI. The central instrument cluster comprises a single 16-inch HD screen, which is curved towards the driver to make it easier to read and emphasise the wraparound cockpit effect.
