Ferrari unveils a new one-off, the CZ26, a heavily redesigned variant of the SF90 Stradale created for an American customer by designer Flavio Manzoni. The car features a new front end and rear treatment with slim horizontal lights, revised aero and cooling, and new wheels, while preserving the SF90’s 986hp hybrid V8 with three electric motors and all-wheel drive, delivering rapid performance.
Ferrari’s 12Cilindri Manuale uses a ‘Manuale by Wire’ system that maps to the SF90 Stradale’s eight-speed dual-clutch with two gears removed, delivering manual-like control via electronics rather than a mechanical linkage and including a Koenigsegg CC850–like auto mode. The piece argues purists should stop demanding a traditional manual, noting the 819 hp V12, 9,500 rpm redline, and the ability for clutch dumps and heel-and-toe, while acknowledging it isn’t a true manual and that rebuild costs could be high. In short, it’s framed as a pragmatic compromise for a modern, power-dense Ferrari.)
Carwow conducted a drag race between the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and the newer Ferrari 296 GTB, both of which are plug-in hybrid supercars. The SF90 has a larger 4.0-liter V8 engine with three electric motors, producing 986 hp, while the 296 GTB has a V6 engine with an electric motor, producing 818 hp. The SF90 is slightly quicker, with a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 2.5 seconds, compared to the 296 GTB's 2.9 seconds. The winner of the drag race depends on power, weight, and traction, with the car with better traction winning the race.
