1,003,467
Published 2023-11-14
But what about its track credentials? It happened to lap Fiorano in 1.17.3, making it Ferrari’s fastest-ever road car around their home circuit, 1.7 seconds ahead of the SF90.
In total 1398 cars are being built, split between 799 Stradales (at £673,584 a pop) and 599 Spiders (each £730,000). A quick reminder that a base SF90 is £376k.
Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, had the tough job of seeing what it’s like to drive.

Is this worthy of the XX name?
-
The fact they’ve said there’s a Spider XX on the way proves the XX program isn’t about track days anymore. It’s about driving around Monaco or Dubai in a car that’s rarer and more expensive than a normal SF90.
-
I think this should have been called the SF90 Speciale
-
Does a road legal XX not defeat the very thing a XX is?
-
It would be much simpler and more logical for Ferrari to simply name the car SF90 Speciale/Competizione...
-
Make no mistake, this isn't an XX. It is just the special version of the SF90, so like the 488 Pista to the 488 GTB and the 458 Speciale to the 458 Italia. They just named it "XX" for better marketing and to justify it having a big wing.
-
Genius piece of journalism from Ollie Mariage, being able to diplomatically say it’s not a true XX car and not get black listed by Ferrari in the process
-
The fact it isn't eligible for other XX events actually raises the value of the other cars. The car isn't bad by any standard but Ferrari is finessing
-
The fact we have more hypercar manufacturers than ever before,means they have to keep making things crazier and better to stay in the headlines. I for one absolutely love it.
-
This looks much much better than the "regular" SF90!
-
You know, for what it is… it’s really underperforming.
-
3:18 - ”Top speed is slower at 199mph” We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.
-
Ferrari's rules with their cars makes as much sense as their F1 strategies.
-
Brutal performance Toy! But I think Ferrari lost his style the last year’s 😢
-
Refreshing to hear a driver speak honestly about the relationship with TC...
-
Bring back Pininfarina
-
Reminds me of the F50 from the front view angles. Of course this is a few spots of pace ahead of that old 90s sweetheart… but what a car this one is!
-
I get the feeling that auto journalism is getting fed up with Ferrari’s antics.
-
Another great review from Ollie, very well done! I wonder what's going to happen to the YouTube channel now when Top Gear has been cancelled...I hope that they'll find a way to keep it going.
-
I remember this test driver was the same driver that drove against clarkson when they reviewed the beautiful f430 back in 2007. Clarkson was in the convertible and he was in the coupe. Glad to see he is still working for Ferrari. What a career !
