Transmission The SF90 Stradale’s engine is mated to a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The new gearbox is 10 kg lighter and more compact than the existing 7-speed gearbox used on the manufacturer’s other offerings. This is partly due to the fact that there is no dedicated reverse gear, as reverse is handled by the electric motors mounted on the front axle. The new transmission also has a 30% faster shift time (200 milliseconds). Interior A 16-inch curved display behind the steering wheel shows the driver various vital statistics of the car. The car also features a new head-up display that reconfigures itself depending on the driving mode selected. The steering wheel has been carried over from the 488, but now features multiple capacitive touch interfaces to control the car’s various functions. Other conventional levers and buttons are retained. The interior will also relay the engine sound to the driver, according to the manufacturer. Operation The SF90 Stradale features eSSC (electric Side Slip Control), which controls torque distribution to all four wheels of the car. The eSSC is combined with eTC (electric Tractional Control), a new brake-by-wire system that combines the traditional hydraulic braking system and electric motors to provide optimal regenerative braking and torque vectoring. Body The car’s all-new chassis combines aluminium and carbon fibre to improve structural rigidity and provide a suitable platform for the car’s hybrid system. The car has a dry weight of 3,461 lb (1,570 kg) when the electric system weight of 595 lb (270 kg) is added.
