Keyword: 2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider Assetto Fiorano. From the first metallic glint of its Rosso Corsa paint to the futuristic hum of its hybrid powertrain, the 2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider Assetto Fiorano redefines what an open-top supercar can be. In an era where electrification is remapping the performance landscape, Ferrari’s 1000-horsepower, plug-in hybrid flagship shows that environmental responsibility and visceral excitement need not be mutually exclusive.
At first glance, the SF90 Spider looks almost liquid, as if the wind itself sculpted its panels. Ferrari’s Styling Centre, led by Flavio Manzoni, prioritized aero efficiency over ornamental features. The shark-nose front bumper channels air through a double-deck splitter, while the central “S-duct” pulls the flow upward, adding 180 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. Large lateral intakes cool the V8 and two front electric motors, proving beauty can serve brutal functionality.
The Assetto Fiorano package swaps standard aluminium panels for carbon-fibre front and rear bumpers, door panels and underbody elements, shaving roughly 21 kg off curb weight. Titanium springs and exhaust silencers further lighten the Spider without sacrificing structural integrity. These grams matter: reducing unsprung mass lets the MagneRide™ shocks control body motions with millisecond-level precision, especially when the retractable roof is stowed and weight distribution shifts rearward.
Ferrari’s patented Aero Brake replaces a traditional fixed rear wing with two computer-controlled flaps. At high speeds, they stay low for minimal drag; during braking or cornering, they pop up to generate extra downforce on the rear axle. This solution gives the Spider a clean silhouette while replicating the stability of a GT3 race car. The car’s underbody is equally intricate, using vortex generators and a central “tea-tray” splitter to cling the car to the tarmac without a dramatic spoiler.
Highlight: The SF90 Spider is the first roofless Ferrari to exceed 300 kg of downforce at 250 km/h—an achievement possible only through integrated mechanical and digital aerodynamics.
The internal-combustion centerpiece delivers 780 hp at 7500 rpm, making it the most powerful V8 in Ferrari road-car history. Enlarged exhaust valves and a higher-revving turboshaft boost response by 5 % over the F8 Tributo, while plasma-coated cylinder liners reduce friction. Even so, the V8 meets Euro-6d emissions standards, underscoring the balancing act between sustainability and speed.
Two axial-flux units (133 hp each) sit on the front axle, enabling true torque vectoring and e-AWD, while a third motor (204 hp) lives between the V8 and 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery yields 25 km of silent, city-friendly range in eDrive mode. Toggle the steering-wheel Manettino to switch among Hybrid, Performance and Qualify—each mapping offers progressively less regeneration and more outright thrust. Total system output is 1000 hp and 800 Nm, catapulting the Spider to 100 km/h in 2.5 s.
“The SF90 Spider’s tri-motor topology represents the first time an open-top Ferrari achieves both through-the-road all-wheel drive and pure-electric propulsion, marking a paradigm shift for Maranello’s future architectures.”
– Dr. Valerio Conti, Senior Powertrain Engineer, Politecnico di Torino
Hybrid systems generate extra heat, and Ferrari combats this with twin coolant loops—one for the battery, another for the motors—plus a separate oil circuit for the turbos. Under normal cruising, the electric motors reduce V8 load by up to 14 %, trimming fuel consumption to 6.1 L/100 km on the WLTP cycle. Yet flooring the throttle unleashes the full pack: combustion and electrons in seamless harmony.
Tip: For track-use, owners are advised to start in Performance mode. It keeps the battery at ~50 % charge, ensuring repeatable acceleration runs without thermal derate.
Borrowing its name from Ferrari’s private test track, the Assetto Fiorano pack centers on hardcore hardware: Multimatic DSSV dampers derived from GT racing, carbon-fibre underfloor panels, and a 15 mm ride-height drop. These tweaks slice 0.3 s off the SF90’s Fiorano lap time—an eternity in supercar terms.
The Spider rolls on bespoke Cup 2 Rs, featuring an outer shoulder with a motorsport-grade compound. Under lateral loads, the tire’s variable tread stiffness maintains an optimal contact patch, elevating peak cornering forces by 16 %. Rain? Store a set of Pilot Sport 4 Ss in the garage if you live in wetter climates.
The SF90’s aluminium roof folds in two symmetric sections, tucking behind the seats in 14 seconds at speeds up to 45 km/h. Unlike fabric soft-tops, this hardtop preserves the car’s clean roof-line when closed and contributes to a 30 % quieter cabin—useful during long highway drives where wind buffeting can exhaust occupants.
Removing a fixed roof usually compromises torsional rigidity, yet Ferrari claims only a 4 % loss compared with the coupé. Engineers reinforced the A-pillars with carbon-fibre inserts and installed a cross-beam behind the rear bulkhead. The result: steering inputs translate to instant yaw change, even when you hit apex kerbs at curbspeed-defying angles.
Top down, occupants feast on an acoustically enriched soundtrack. Ferrari uses a hot-tube resonator that carries induction noise directly into the cabin. With the roof open the V8’s baritone harmonizes with an electric whirr, exemplifying the car’s dual personality—silken EV cruiser one minute, high-octane symphony the next.
Highlight: Unlike earlier Ferrari Spiders, luggage space remains unchanged (74 L in the nose) whether the roof is up or down, ensuring weekend-trip practicality.
The 16-inch curved HD cluster serves as command central, merging navigation, performance data and hybrid energy flow. Touch-sensitive haptic buttons replace physical switches on the steering wheel, echoing Ferrari’s Formula 1 layouts. There’s a learning curve, but owners report muscle memory after a few drives.
Poltrona Frau leather wraps the dash, while Alcantara inserts keep occupants planted during 1.0-g bends. Optional carbon-fibre sills and seat shells cut 3 kg, but you can specify Daytona seats with contrast stitching if comfort trumps weight savings. All climate vents, once aluminium, are now 3-D-printed from a polymer-carbon composite to save grams.
Wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard; Android Auto follows later in 2024 via over-the-air update. Ferrari’s five-year maintenance plan covers scheduled servicing, and the battery has an eight-year warranty—reassuring for first-time hybrid buyers.
With a European base price of €507,000 before options, the SF90 Spider commands a 35 % premium over its coupé sibling. Yet global demand exceeds supply: Ferrari’s allocation for 2024 is reportedly sold out, and lightly used examples already trade above list in secondary markets. Competitors—McLaren Artura Spider (680 hp) and Lamborghini Revuelto Roadster (1015 hp)—offer comparable performance, but none can match Ferrari’s motorsport pedigree and brand capital.

Ferrari extends its Passione program to SF90 buyers: exclusive factory tours, invitation-only track days and priority access to limited-edition models. On the servicing side, local Ferrari dealers are now EV-certified, able to handle high-voltage diagnostics. Insurance premiums average 9-12 % of vehicle value annually—high but offset by staggering resale retention, historically 80 % after three years for flagship Ferraris.
Yes. Using the supplied Mode-2 cable, a 230 V domestic socket replenishes the 7.9 kWh battery in roughly 3 hours. A 7.4 kW wallbox cuts that to 1 hour 30 minutes.
The front motors provide instant torque vectoring, making turn-in more agile. Drivers liken the experience to “pulling” through a corner rather than merely pushing from the rear.
No, but its Multimatic dampers, Cup 2 R tires and extra downforce considerably improve lap consistency, especially during extended sessions where heat soak can sap standard brakes.
Ferrari’s seven-year Genuine Maintenance Plan covers oil, filters, brake fluid and inspections. Expect consumables—tires and brakes—to cost €7-10k per 10,000 km if driven spiritedly.
Surprisingly not. The roof stows above the engine bay, leaving the front trunk’s 74 L intact—enough for two carry-on trolleys.
Below 40 km/h the Spider emits only a regulatory pedestrian alert at 56 dB—quieter than a household dishwasher. Perfect for early-morning departures without waking neighbors.
Besides traditional Rosso Corsa, buyers can select Giallo Montecarlo and Argento Nurburgring with a special Grigio Corsa racing stripe unavailable on standard Spiders.
Ferrari hasn’t capped production but expects annual Spider output to equal 40 % of SF90 Stradale volumes, translating to roughly 1,200 cars per year worldwide.
