Ferrari has added a new flagship convertible mid-engined supercar to its line up in the form of a drop-top sibling for the SF90 Stradale: the SF90 Spider.
Like its coupe stablemate, it’s not a limited-run range topping hypercar akin to the LaFerrari Aperta but is described as a series production model and uses a plug-in hybrid drivetrain supporting all-electric running.

The powertrain remains unchanged from the fixed roofing SF90 Stradale. A turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine links up with a battery and electric motor setup to develop a maximum output of 986bhp and torque of 900Nm.

The SF90 Spider incorporates a lightweight folding hard top roofing closely following the silhouette of the hard-top Stradale model. The canopy can be opened or closed in 14 seconds, while a new rear window can also be controlled by the driver. With the roofing down, the mid-section of the car is defined by a new flat deck and two roll hoops supported by two new buttresses that flow down towards the engine compartment. An active spoiler sits at the rear, and can step up and down for a lot more downforce or minimized drag.

The addition of the retractable roofing on the Spider indicates kerb weight creeps up by 100kg to 1,670kg, but baseline performance remains unchanged with 0-62mph taking just 2.5 seconds and top speed clocked at 211mph. 0-124mph takes just seven seconds.
