IT'S HERE! My Brand New Ferrari SF90 Stradale in Italy | WHERE'S SHMEE Part 11
It's finally time to reveal my brand new Ferrari SF90 Stradale! It's been a long time in the making, but now the 1,000hp prancing horse is ready to go. Where else then to show it for the first time, but outside Enzo's house at Fiorano! Join me for this unforgettable day.
After travelling across Europe in my Ferrari GTC4Lusso on the Where's Shmee tour to Maranello, the home town of Ferrari and the factory where both the Lusso and the new SF90 have been built, it's time to take a look at the newest Shmeemobile in all its glory. While unfortunately the main factory itself is currently closed to external visitors for a traditional handover and 'Factory Collection', and the logistics involved in getting the car here have been extraordinary (to say the least), that isn't going to stop it being a special day.
After owning 3 Ferraris prior, the SF90 Stradale is my first brand new prancing horse, built to specification and the patience of a very long wait for it to go into production and eventually ready to be handed over. But to see it for the first time, with huge thanks to the Ferrari Communications team, I'm lucky enough to head into the famous Pista di Fiorano where the SF90 awaits outside the front of Enzo Ferrari's famous house.
Let's take a look through the whole specification, with the paint in Blu Elettrico, complimented by the exterior visual carbon fibre, and optional forged wheels in silver, I've also gone for yellow calipers to match the yellow Scuderia Shields. Inside however is where we spent the most time working on the spec, creating a dual tone of Sabbia and Blu Sterling, that also mixes Alcantara and leather to create a beautiful environment around the Style seat upgrade and carbon fibre LED driver zone.
After visiting such a special location, and excitement in overdrive, we're immediately off onto the roads to drive the very same loop where I first experienced an SF90 Stradale from behind the wheel. This is where the car truly excels, an insanely powerful road car that manages to boast great road handling capabilities and a fascinating hybrid powertrain that will take time to learn and fully understand.
The registration is SH20 MEE, vaguely linking to 2 powertrains, 220 electric horsepower... yes, clutching at straws but sadly SH90 MEE won't be available until September 2049 and I'm not waiting over 27 years to drive it!
I opted to not take Assetto Fiorano as this is a road car for me, and I require the optional lift system that can not be had in combination. Hence my choice of the softer seats and general elegant road configuration. Do not fear there are plenty of current Shmeemobiles, and more for the future, that better serve the race track!
What an incredible day, and a huge thanks to everyone involved in making it happen despite the odds (and believe me the odds were not good). That includes those at HR Owen Ferrari London, Ferrari North Europe PR, the Italian customs team, and the team from Ferrari in Maranello. And of course, thank you to each and every person who has been part of the Shmee150 adventure!
Thanks for watching, Tim
