The Ferrari SF90 Stradale Is Dead

Just won the lottery, and about to order that brand new Ferrari SF90 Stradale you’d been promising yourself? We have some bad news: Ferrari has just confirmed that the regular SF90, in both coupe and convertible form, has reached the end of its life.

The news comes in Ferrari’s report outlining its sales for the first half of 2024, with figures continuing to look very rosy for the Maranello firm: for the first six months of the year, it made a net profit of €765 million, and delivered some 7,044 cars – increases of 21 and one per cent, respectively.

Ferrari making an enormous profit is about as newsworthy these days as Elon Musk saying something stupid, though. The document also gives us some insight into its current and future lineup.

The death of the standard SF90 isn’t exactly a shock. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid supercar went into production in 2019, so at five years old, it’s pretty much run its course in the scheme of Ferrari life cycles. The lighter, more powerful SF90 XX remains in production in both coupe and Spider forms, but this is a strictly limited-production car, so it won’t be long before it too disappears.

While it could be argued that 95 per cent of the SF90’s job is done by the cheaper, V6-powered 296, it nevertheless looks like a successor is inbound, with a development mule based on the outgoing car spotted testing last year.

Joining the SF90 in the great scrapyard in the sky is the 812 GTS, Ferrari’s targa-topped, V12 grand tourer. The regular coupe ended production some time ago, and Ferrari’s also confirmed that production is winding down on the hardcore 812 Competizione. We’ve already seen the 812 family’s replacement, the stunning 12Cilindri.

Also not long for this world is Ferrari’s junior V8-powered coupe, the Roma, although the Spider version is barely a year and a half old, so will likely stick around a while longer. Whether this car gets a direct replacement is yet to be seen.

Other interesting tidbits include the fact that in Q2 of 2024, production of the limited-run Daytona SP3 was up slightly on the same period last year, and that Ferrari’s pure internal combustion cars have narrowly outsold its hybrids 52 to 48 per cent.

With 12Cilindri production soon to kick off, a LaFerrari successor round the corner, and the company gearing up to unveil its first full EV, things aren’t looking likely to slow down in Maranello any time soon.
