- This is the new SF90 XX, and it’s very fast indeed. It has 1016bhp. It has double the downforce of the regular SF90. It’s also lighter. It does 0-62mph in 2.3secs. But there’s one main thing that absolutely sets this XX apart from all the others. It’s road legal. The first ever XX car to be able to drive, well, anywhere you like really.
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?
no
no
no
No
No also soo ugly
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.
tru. it's the only reasn i got one
Dilution
as if someone would actually track AWD hybrid on narrow tires which weigh over 1750 kg
@@maximborodyuk3773What about a front wheel drive with narrow tyres that weighs 1035kgs? 😂
@@maximborodyuk3773sf90 already on rails this is different lvl 🎉
I think this should have been called the SF90 Speciale
Bingo! Because this is what ultimately it is. XX, like GTO, name bears an obligation to be worthy of that moniker
100%
100%, the fact it’s road legal dilutes the XX program. Can guarantee the clients who buy this will simply be buying it for bragging rights in the streets of Dubai.
But they won't be able to sell the Speciale, or the other half a dozen cars they change a bit and charge an arm and a leg for.
@@vokstar- Trust, they don't have a problem selling higher end cars
Does a road legal XX not defeat the very thing a XX is?
Or maybe cars are so advanced these days that they could do both?

It would be much simpler and more logical for Ferrari to simply name the car SF90 Speciale/Competizione...
Exactly
Stradale.
I don't see what's the big deal with the model designation; it is a special, track-focused version of the car. Enjoy!
@@zix_zix_zix XX is always track monster and nothing can change it. Building XX for street is not XX. Anyway, I like the design of the car.
@@zix_zix_zix To put it in perspective, it's labeled an XX but is so unqualified that Ferrari themselves has barred it from participating in the actual XX program and events. Does that make much sense?
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.
And a big price lol
Yup
An eye wateringly ugly wing and price tage
yup - I'd even argue that these days Ferrari's actual business is seeing how little they can give you and how much they can charge you. Then, even after you pay millions of dollars Ferrari will still sue you because you had the balls to wrap or modify your own car.
Why do people give so much attention to model designation? I thought the whole point was to find out if this is a capable car and an improvement over the regular SF90 or not. The fact that this car is road legal is a good thing, in my opinion.
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
this 👆
Don't speak too soon lol
Ollie is an ignorant dolt. Ferrari is perfectly fine with what he said... nothing special on his part at all.
@@stuartstogdill2406
Precisely. Ferrari themselves has never claimed it to be an XX car in relation to the XX programme. That insinuation is as silly as when motoring journalists call the other VS cars track cars.
@@AB-80XYou're an idiot. It literally has xx in the name.
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
ferrari is totaly cunt for using the xx name they should have called it a sf90 speciale or pista of whatever xx means track only race car its like ferrari private race club the fact that this car is not even allow to enter xx event shows that this car is not a true xx race car its not even enough to be xx car due to its street legal nature.
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.
3:18 - _”Top speed is slower at 199mph”_
*We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.*
Well actually, it equals 320 km/h, which in fact is *greatness* - plus 1 miles and it actually will be equal to 322km/h
Pretty sure no Ferrari XX has ever before had a top speed lower than 200 MPH…
What a wierd world we live in where a Tesla has a higher top speed than a Ferrari hyper car
We live in a world where a 1000hp hypercar can't even hit 200mph
@@carltonlebossmaybe due to downforce
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!
pretty sure the f50 GT is significantly faster than this or any XX car ever made.
Love the honest review!
Love the towing eye sticking out the front, a lovely detail
Ferrari's rules with their cars makes as much sense as their F1 strategies.
Agree
Ouch! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'd add, historically, their race team personnel stratagies, too.
We a reaching a point where bad team = bad car
That’s why there is a 5 years wait to even dream having one…
Historically, Ferrari road cars do really well when their racing team not and vice versa
This looks much much better than the "regular" SF90!
1 segundo melhor pelo dobro do preço?
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 !
Refreshing to hear a driver speak honestly about the relationship with TC...
That’s a beautiful piece of equipment
Another great review from Ollie, very well done! I wonder what's going to happen to the TH-cam channel now when Top Gear has been cancelled...I hope that they'll find a way to keep it going.
It's crazy to cancel it. Just shows no one is watching TV any more and no one is paying big money for ads on TV also.
Who wants to watch 12 ads 4 or 5 times in an hour program when you can watch similar things online with very few ads or none.
@@itisjustacommentmany of them are basically only paid a little for it.
I think they will continue this channel. Because the Top Gear magazine/website is still running. For example, this YT channel has the magazine editors also driving/testing cars. The channel is not JUST for the show. The Top Gear magazine/website is still going strong!
So where can I watch Chris Harris now that Top Gear is gone?

For those comparing - Lap record at Fiorano is ofc Schumacher in (ofc) the 2004 Ferrari F1 car doing 0:55.999 sec, so 21 sec faster than this 1016 hp car.

Ferrari’s used to be pretty cars with character. Growing up I was in awe when I saw a 355, Testerossa, Dino or Mondial in the wild. Not with this. This is another very fast and very capable Ferrari, like they all are nowadays. But that’s about it.
Yes, they are all about performance now. They’ve lost the beauty. And the simplicity. They are not only hyperfast now, but also hypercomplicated. Sad really!
Pretty bad take imo
I dont care if it shouldnt be a xx, or a speciale. This car is beautiful and i love it
I’m so glad Ollie brought up the de-valuing of the XX brand. It’s a cheap marketing move straight out of BMW’s M playbook.

This is the first time since the 488GTB that I'm excited about a new Ferrari... incredible!!
I think the 812 SF is one of the best Ferrari's.
This is a joke right? What about this car is exciting? It's significantly more expensive than the base car while not being much faster and is also not as rare is the other XX cars...

The exhaust sound is truly amazing, and I love the interior as well. The wing perfectly suits the exterior design of the car, and I personally think that this is one of the greatest Ferrari vehicles ever made. This is definitely going to be an iconic classic car in just a few years, in my opinion. I love Top Gear videos because of the incredible production quality of their videos. I would love to see the Koenigsegg Jesko being reviewed by Top Gear. Keep it coming!!!😍👌👌🏎🏎🏎🏎
Loved seeing the active aero from the shots under the spoiler
Unreal love it ❤
I personally believe it will increase the value of the XX program. Giving customers a track car increases the value of the company further look at the GT program for Porsche has now become one of the hugest programs in motorsport.
Liking the new feel of Top Gear, you need more James Bond feel, and less buffoonery, only the Holy Trinity could pull that off perfectly. Like, you really need to poach Henry Catchpole, and bring in Nico Hülkenberg when he retires from F1 as your driving standard!
This is a swansong to the XX program. Time to move on and what a way to capitalize on such an amazing, much loved, and exclusive racing club! Bravo Ferrari!

The SF90 XX is only about 1 second slower at Fiorano than the FXX Evo and that's with only one fast lap attempt. If Raffaele would've driven a few more laps then I'm sure 1:16 would've been easily doable. So it's definitely worthy of the XX name.
My car is faster than 60s F1 cars, doesn’t mean it deserves to be called one. For that thing to be called an XX, at least it should be faster than the last gen XX cars.
The logic of this statement is exactly that of Ferrari giving a road car with incremental upgrades a designation that has, until now, been reserved for track racing line.

November 2018, 23th. Nearly four years ago, a video called: "8 x Ferrari FXX K EVO Pure Sound at Monza Circuit" was uploaded. That was BY FAR one of the best videos of racing spec ferraris on youtube. That hybrid is good but nothing compares to.
The regular 296 recently destroyed everything on Magni Cours in France, like 5 sec per lap faster than the 911 GT3 RS with identical tires and the same conditions with the same professional race driver who drove the wheels off of both. The SF90 is supposedly quicker than the 296. And now this comes out. These Ferrari's make anything else look like it's from 2 decades ago in terms of track pace. Not many things can make a GT3 RS look slow in comparison on a F1 track.

@@Khan-ts2ji Did you take a look at the full name - SF90 XX Stradale? Also, what's in a name if the car is a capable car?
I love ferrari and would love a ferrari f90 xx as my own
In all sincerity I'm not as blown away by this as I was when Ferrari released the FXX and the 599XX all those years ago. But In saying that I think everyone is undermining the figures this car produces in comparison to the standard SF90. To begin, it's lighter (all be it not that much) compared to the standard car even though it's got a lot more aerodynamic grip, it accelerates faster than the standard car and has a race-focused electronics package all amalgamated together to form a street legal version of a XX program car. The other cars from the XX program are legendary and truly amazing pieces of machinery but you have to remember this is still a road legal car, and despite that the SF90XX is more than likely knocking on the door of the door performance-wise of those track-specific cars. IMO It's an impressive car, but I think Ferrari jumped the gun by labelling it a XX program car even if it was their goal to make a road legal race car. The XX program cars have largely been barely track-legal monsters that Ferrari won't even let you take home, where as this car kind of undermines the whole prominence of "owning" an XX car.
The wing is the biggest fumble in my opinion. Ferrari road cars, especially the track focused ones, have a certain air of novelty about them because they're usually graceful despite being effective. I.E. opting for a pronounced ducktail spoiler or active spoiler instead of a fixed wing. This obnoxious tacky wing brings down the car so much... not just because of downforce but in appearance especially. I think that it would be better if they made a track-only no-limits XX SF90 car to compliment the road car. Then the road car makes more sense.
They missed a golden opportunity to bring back the F40/F50 style rearwing.
Of this would have been no-compromise track-only machine like XX is supposed to be nobody would have a problem with that wing. But this way I agree with you.
You really think you know better than the Ferrari engineers?
@@fifteen8850 haha.. no. I'm not an engineer but I know a thing or two about design. There's ways where you can achieve considerable levels of downforce on a car without having to resort to using a fixed wing, and without having to create an unattractive looking car. Ferrari usually sets the benchmark for this with cars like the 458 Speciale, 488 Pista, F12 TDF, and even when they have added on a fixed wing for their ultra hypercars- I.E. the 599XX and LaFerrari FXX K, the wing has been visually cohesive with the rest of the design and arguably more beautiful than most visual downforce elements on other race cars.
For this car, they could've hidden a wing in between the rear haunches like the Valkyrie does. the SF90 even sports a similar feature now. A massive ducktail akin to the 812 Competizione would have looked wonderful. I'm saying for a car that costs just under a million dollars, that wing looks cheap. I understand the car makes impressive downforce figures, but that's no excuse to neglect the outward appearance of the car. Look at how good the new GT3 RS wears its downforce.
@@budja1501 this is assuming you know more than Ferrari engineers which you absolutely *dont*. Also the RS has a massive wing
Calling it a XX is a stretch, the same weight reduction that can be achieved by using lighter wheels is not something to be proud of.
We need a comparison between the revoulto and this asap
Now let's see what it'll do with some track slicks
It’s definitely an improvement over the original SF90 in terms of its looks, it appears a lot more refined and the rear is far less busy.
Also, it may not seem as much of an improvement over the previous model when compared to lap times of other XX models, but I doubt the other XX cars were on road tires as they were track only. Put some track tires on this one and I’m sure it will be in the same sort of ballpark.
That's it - proper slicks must notch out a second or so?
@@jameshorsmanover a second
The rear end on that thing. Sheesh.
Nice SF 🐎🏁
After this go and watch previous La Ferrari XXK video
The sounds alone make that thing special
