2026 Ferrari SF90 Price in Australia

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale marked a major technical step for Ferrari by placing a plug-in hybrid system at the centre of a series-production road car. For Australian enthusiasts, it combined the theatre expected of a mid-engined Ferrari with electric assistance, all-wheel-drive traction and an unusually broad set of driving modes. The car’s low cabin, sculpted aerodynamics and cab-forward proportions clearly communicate its performance focus, while the cockpit introduced a highly digital approach with a large curved driver display and steering-wheel controls designed to keep key functions close to the driver.

Its powertrain pairs a 3990 cc twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors. Two electric motors act on the front axle and another is integrated with the rear transmission, creating electric all-wheel drive when required. The original SF90 Stradale produced a combined 1000 cv, placing it among the most powerful road-going Ferraris of its era. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission manages the combustion engine’s output, while the hybrid system can also allow limited electric-only driving for short urban movements.

The SF90’s character is defined as much by electronics as by outright output. Ferrari’s eManettino gives the driver different powertrain strategies, while the dynamic-control systems coordinate engine torque, electric-motor assistance, braking and traction. The result is a car that can deploy immense performance with more confidence than a traditional rear-drive supercar, yet it still demands attention and experience because its acceleration capability is far beyond normal road-car levels.

Practicality is naturally secondary. The SF90 is a two-seat coupe with limited luggage capacity and a very low driving position. Visibility, access and ground clearance require more care than in a conventional sports car, and Australian owners need to consider steep driveways, speed humps and parking environments. The plug-in system also adds charging considerations, although the battery is primarily there to support performance and short electric running rather than long-distance EV travel.

Ownership in Australia sits firmly at the exotic end of the market. Tyres, servicing, insurance and optional carbon-fibre or personalisation content can make running costs substantial. Ferrari’s extensive personalisation programme means individual cars can differ considerably in trim and colour, so buyers comparing stock should examine the exact specification rather than assuming every SF90 is equipped alike.

Ferrari’s current 2026 range has moved on from the SF90, with newer models occupying its place in the catalogue. That makes the SF90 especially relevant as a recent-generation collector and enthusiast model rather than a current factory-order mainstream range car. For Australian buyers, its enduring appeal is the combination of Ferrari V8 sound, electric torque, four-wheel-drive traction and landmark status as one of Maranello’s defining early plug-in hybrid supercars.
