In thrilling news for the region’s Ferraristi, the marque has debuted the new SF90 XX Stradale for the very first time in the region with an in-depth look at the new model at Casa Ferrari Abu Dhabi – the ultimate Ferrari lifestyle event in the Middle East.
Coinciding with the on-track excitement of the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 GP weekend, attendees at the fourth edition of Casa Ferrari Abu Dhabi celebrated the history, elegance, and craftsmanship of Ferrari through an exclusive, immersive experience from the 24th – 26th November.
During the event, guests received an exclusive unveiling of the special edition of this high-performance model. Based on the SF90 Stradale, the new limited series SF90 XX Stradale was first unveiled in June at Ferrari’s Fiorana test track in Maranello, and this weekend one of the 799 examples of this new V8-powered PHEVs has been showcased in Abu Dhabi, wowing regional fans.
The SF90 XX Stradale represents the latest and most extreme example of a concept of special versions, which pushes the performance of Ferrari’s road-going models to new levels.
The concept has been honed over the past 20 years or so, with many of these models quickly becoming considered benchmarks in the Prancing Horse’s line up, such as the 488 Pista and 812 Competizione. Over the same two decades, Ferrari has also developed the XX Programme to offer a select group of expert client drivers extreme cars that are not homologated for the road, but that can be driven at the very limit on the track. All of the models produced by the programme have proved a huge success, with the most recent addition being the FXX-K EVO.
Drawing on its experience in both of these spheres, Ferrari decided to create a road-legal car which embodies the maximum expression of the two programmes’ engineering concepts. The SF90 XX Stradale is based on the supercar in the range, the SF90 Stradale, and raises its already impressively exhilarating track and on-the-limit driving experience to new heights.
Performance is boosted thanks to its impressive 1,030 cv (30 more than the SF90 Stradale), specific software logics and the use of radical new aerodynamics solutions, including a fixed rear spoiler – the first to appear on a road-going Ferrari since the days of the F50 – which delivers an unparalleled 530 kg of downforce at 250 km/h.
