New Ferrari SF90 Assetto Fiorano - the fastest road car we've tested? | evo LEADERBOARD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It's Ferrari's most powerful series production car and its first plug-in hybrid. It's also one of the most complex cars we've driven, one that takes as many miles and as much time as you have to give in order to extract the most from both it and you.
Just how efficient is it at making the most of its 4-litre turbocharged V8, three electric motors and combined 986bhp? We headed to Anglesey Circuit for three days with a truck load of tyres - Bridgestone Potenzas, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s and Pilot Sport Cup 2Rs, plus many technicians, race fuel to melt your eyeballs, and Steve Sutcliffe.
Could it be the quickest road car to lap Anglesey's Coastal circuit?

Yes it is. But you don't have to short shift. An alternative is to - you know - manage the torque control pedal under your right foot. I'm always amused when I hear people say about some car that, "It has too much power for the street," or some variant of that. An 800-hp car (or whatever) doesn't HAVE to deliver all 800-hp all the time. The manufacturer kindly thought to include a foot operated control device that lets us choose how much power we want at any given moment. My 189-hp 4-cyl will light up the driven tires if you're already at the limit of traction in a turn when you floor it. Any car will (assuming no safety nannies that do the managing for you).

@@blaqjac21 I've driven a couple of low-8-second GTRs, and was somehow able to avoid having any trouble. I've driven a 950-hp McLaren and miraculously didn't kill myself. Doesn't change anything I said. Some throttles might be hard to control precisely, but that's an engineering/design/mapping problem. My point is valid. In fact, the more electric a car is, the MORE controllable it should be. That assumes, of course, that they've mapped the torque output linearly with the pedal. If they mapped it to all come in all of the sudden, then sure that's going to make it things very challenging, but I doubt they've done that. If you can't figure out an appropriate amount of throttle pedal for the condition you're in at the moment, that's a YOU problem, not a car problem. Sure, some cars are harder to get a feel for than others and can be difficult...like the old 911 Turbo for example, because even with a given throttle input, the boost coming on would surprise you. But you ought to get used to its characteristics and adapt your right foot to it. Machinery is predictable and consistent, even if it's unusual. Anybody who's good at putting down fast lap times...in ANY car...has refined their throttle control. Like I said previously, even my low powered lotus on sticky rubber will light up the tires and the rear end will try to come around when you're driving at the limit...IF you aren't careful with the throttle. My GT3RS will do exactly the same thing, and so will that SF90. None of them are "uncontrollable" or anything close to it. There is no uncontrollable car. There are only drivers who can't control them. And don't come back talking about "What if the steering control rods break?" or some nonsense like that. We're talking about properly functioning cars here.

There's a lot of cars that you have to short shift mid corner to manage the torque lol
Sutcliffe delivers as usual. Love the on-board and timed footage.
My favorite magazine, one of my favorite writers/presenters, an amazing track, and a state of the art Ferrari doing a new record lap. Sensational!
Love the onboard footage of the hot lap. It almost felt like I was right there doing the lap with you. It did get the adrenaline going.
Honestly this just make the 488 Pista time more impressive. I mean it already was by being faster than a Mclaren P1 on Trofeo tires,but still.
Anglesy Is such a spectacular and suggestive circuit, so completely immersed in the elements of nature..❤️❤️
The SF90 Stradale is an absolutely incredible beast. So beautiful and lightning fast. Ferrari is simply the best! 💪
I love the SF90!!Remembering that 211mp/h is the electronic limiter and not the maximum speed! I can't wait for the SF90 "VS" that Ferrari is testing !!

Great lap and so much more informative and immersive to watch than a typical throwaway showboat lap … really told you about the car and the way it drives 🔥
Fantastic video, thanks to the whole team ! Too bad your times are missing 3 legends : - LaFerrari - LaFerrari FXX-K (almost sure it does better than the P1 GTR, and I'm not talking about the EVO...) - McLaren Senna
Fantastic video evo and well done Steve; can I just say I super appreciated the wide-screen format; more like this please
So good Steve. One of my favorites to watch and listen to! Never stop driving cars for us please hahah. And boy is that car quick?! Ten seconds into the hotlap and you can see just how rapid. Cracking stuff!
Steve, you're such a brilliant driver!
Steve your DRIVING in this is FASCINATING to watch thank you! Evo foregrounding fast driving in videos is awesome thank you.
Fantastic video and narrative. Never tire of listening to Steve's analysis. Power on so early out of corners....

One word ... GORGEOUS !!!
The only thing better than a Super/Hypercar review, is a Super/Hypercar review done by Steve :) Fab review of a terrific car
Keep up the good work, Steve. You're the best.
That lap was nuts
I love that Ferrari put their racing DNA into their mid engine supercars like this and they're actually quick around a track
Short shifting to tame this beast, savage. Superb driving from Steve, that turn in is immense

Good to see and hear Steve again. It's been a while since I last caught one of his videos as he seems to have moved around a bit. Great car but perhaps too much of a speed weapon and unsuited to the streets. I think I'd prefer the simpler, less exotic and for sure less expensive 296GTB / Spider.
What a LAP!
A big plus for the aspect ratio 👍
are there any other cars that boost the front-axle to exit from a drift like this one does?
Masterpiece! Respect!!!
And this is not a GTO or an SPECIALE or CHALLENGE STRADALE version of the SF90, so they've space to develop a track focused SF90. Well done Ferrari.
One of the best Journo presenters.. Hats off.
F*** the revs build up is insane. Almost unreal.
Different level kind of content
What a film!!!
Brilliant narration - calm, mature and pure class. No 20 year olds on too much Adderall
Sutcliffe has surpassed Harris IMO. Just a tad less fun but far more informative and relatable. Just like Jethro.

Apples to oranges. Each has strengths in their respective disciplines. It would be fun to seat time each around with the same car, same circuit, and set a time. Loser has to drink from the winner's shoe.
Phenomenal car, another lap record on Carbon Revolution wheels!
was expecting Jethro but when I heard Steve voice....even better....lol
So many questions. Would this change the result of Ecoty? Obviously not on those tyres, but do you think it would be a different result in Scotland? How much of the more positive review is down the having a crew from Ferrari in the pit lane?
Great Video!! That car is insane 😂
Nice driving, thumbed up five seconds in.
sutcliffe you legend !
On Cup 2 R, racing compund tires for track use ONLY.
Some telemetry would've been nice. Take it onto the 'Ring; let's see what it can really do.
Thank you
Interesting the contrast between this car and the one tested in evocoty
Hope you get to test the Daytona SP3 as well
It's not the most inspiring looking Ferrari I've ever seen. It's far from the styling of an Enzo or a La Ferrari. But the performance is truly undeniable. It almost feels as though Ferrari said,...."to hell with the looks. Let's just get the handling and performance PERFECT. We will build a beautiful car around that later." Lol
I want this car like no other
OMG! Whaaaat a car!
I like this reviewer
I noticed you have to take your hand off the wheel to shift which is not ideal, especially when attempting a full concentration track record.
What's coming next is the Sf90 Versione Speciale, less weight and more power.
Ferrari best supercar brand in the world ❤🇮🇹
0:41 is that a scuff in the carbon lip? 😵
Great car and so fast its in the top few cars at almost every track its on even against Senna, GT2RS amd such.
Try the 812 compitizione! and the f8!
Kudos to the BAC mono
All time favorite reviewers: 1. The Trio 2. Steve Sutcliffe 3. Chris Harris
in fact, there's is still a few tens to shave off in this lap; the early upshifting and downshifting, though I understand why. but why not just push to the limit?.
Scary fast and scary quiet
I see Steve I like the video simple as that 🙂

@@OilBaron Back when the P1’s lap was run it had two factory tyres which were the Pirelli P Zero Corsa and the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R. Evo ran the P1 with both tyres, resulting in the P1 having two laptimes entered in the leaderboard (one on Corsas, and one on Trofeos), hence the precision in the tyre compound. Other cars such as the SF90 also have two different compounds (Cup 2, Cup 2 R) but since Evo directly laps these cars with their most track focused compound resulting in one laptime added to the leaderboard, there’s no need for them to do this with each car.

Why was there so much short shifting mid corner ? Feels like it could have been even faster.
Best bang for the buck: Radical. These cars are so underrated. You can get an RXC for the price of a used 922 carrera S. Just imagine...
Very nice track review, thanks. It would be interesting to see it on Cup 2 tires, would it be faster than the Pista still? I know this is going to sound weird, but have you thought of bringing out a Tesla Model S Plaid for a reference lap? I’d love to know how it would compare, almost everything on KZread is a straight drag race, so it comes across as the fastest car out there..
