I see the vid cut and re-started on the drive off - Harry c'mon admit it, did you do up the harnesses and then realise you couldn't close the driver's door? (used to do this in my Exige all the bl@@dy time!)... :-)
Does nothing for me this Fezza and looks awful. Sounds a bit scary on the limit too :-O

I can't help but be impressed with the Ferrari, the tech is genuinely amazing.
Harry's real world reviews of 500k cars are always fun.
The carbon fibre interior looks horrid, I think I'd pay not to have it, and harnesses on a road car always look ridiculous to me.
The styling is a mess, if I were super rich, the only current Ferrari I'd want is a Roma.
Agree on the harnesses, they should be for track day cars only as just a pain for normal use. Also agree the interior looks horrible amd the haptic controls make it look like a PlayStation set up not a premium car.Harry's real world reviews of 500k cars are always fun.

Watching the SF90 video, £500k with options, 1000 bhp and seeing the F40 behind with half the power but ten times the desire, from me at least...
Very true but the SF90 is a comparative bargain - what are F40’s these days £1.2m+ Great film Harry, but the SF90 also leaves me cold.
IMO, Ferrari haven't explained very well what it's supposed to be - a cheaper LaFerrari? A more powerful F8?
It looks too much like an F8 for me.

Haptic controls look hellish to use, and I thought they were old tech? Looks similar to what Peugeot do. Funny you mention PlayStation, the motor at the front had an orange bit in the shape of a controller RichB said:
ooks like a Corvette design idea that didn't make it past the concept stage.
So true, the Americans doing it better than Ferrari is a bit concerning sir humphrey appleby said:
I'm finding the current ferrari line up a bit confusing. Could someone explain it?
It used to be something like 360, scag, etc, but I can't work out what the pecking order these days.
What is the equivalent of the 458 all the way to the top.
I don't even understand my own question!

It's effectively Portofino -> Roma -> F8 -> 296 -> 812 -> SF90It used to be something like 360, scag, etc, but I can't work out what the pecking order these days.

Portofino and Roma - front engine V8's for those on benefits who can only afford circa £200,000 on their Ferrari.
F8 - The mid engine V8. Current equivalent of the 360.
296 - New era V6 hybrid, only available RWD.
SF90 - All singing all dancing 4WD 1,000HP hybrid.
812 - The traditional front engine V12 grand tourer aka the best Ferrari.

I loved the sound the SF90 makes, I think the looks can be sorted out with having a single colour rather than the strange hammer/arrow head detailing at the front, overall I like the shape, the seats looked amazing.
Options list pricing is eye watering, the tone tone stripe is £20k!
On that price list I saw “titanium wheel bolts” £960 + vat. Options list pricing is eye watering, the tone tone stripe is £20k!
Would any buyer actually specify these?

Costs the same as a house, so no change there.
The think of a number for crass options and add several zeros to it approach shows no sign of abating. Oh for some Henry Ford thinking.
Astonishing performance, but utterly unusable. But that happened many years ago.
Will the design age? I doubt it. Italy used to have a reputation for discreet style and elegance. There's nothing pretty about this car. And that's before lipstick has been added.
