FULL REVIEW: Chris Harris vs the 986bhp hybrid Ferrari SF90 | Top Gear: Series 29
Chris Harris reviews one of Ferrari's many new offerings from the last year or two. This offering though, is really rather special. With a twin-turbo V8, bolstered by no-less than 3 electric motors, the Ferrari SF90 is one of the most complex and adept supercars ever made. So let's see what Chris makes of it...

If this chap says he needs the bobbins on, the rest of you mugs should most assuredly do likewise. I think we're at the point where cars HAVE to have the technology in place for myriad reasons. 15 miles of range would be nothing more than electric motors to torque fill on shifts. However, with many countries going fully ev by 2035, companies are scrambling to actually gain the tech capacity to be able to fulfill that dictum in that time frame. In the short term, cars will be getting heavier solely on basis of batteries and electric motors. Supplementing some of them for capacitors will help, but range and ability to store electric will still be an issue. Until we can get energy storage down to much smaller scales while still maintaining (or ideally building upon) energy density and total amount of kw on board, cars will continue to be heavy and tech laden to manage what is bending the laws of physics for your enjoyment. When we can have the power to weight ratios where they are most enjoyable, and have that be deliverable repeatedly. When we have light, flickable cars that hold the road, and also have range. When we can have something that stirs our passion, that also fully supplants the internal combustion engine, then and only then will we be not only NOT sacrificing, but have excitement we can feel good about that is not having to dance the razors edge of masking the inherent shortcomings of one or the other.
PE HARRIS ENZO BANDINI IN HIS OWN 7 K VM & 7 F VM AUTOMOTIVE -SCUDRIA -FERRARIS AND HIS FERRARI SF90 EV HYBRID
As great as some supercars can be. Handling and accelerating to 60 MPH in 2.5s...the reality is most owners weren't ex- PRO race car drivers. There's only one Michael Schmacher. One Masrio Andretti. The majority of owners will never drive their Ferrari's on race tracks nor will they have the skill to exploit the talents of their hyper cars. These cars will instead spend the majority of their lives in traffic in cities. And the SF90...a car you can't really park (or risk scratches from strangers leaning on the car taking photos of themselves with the car). Can't leave it parked in the parking lot of a supermarket and risk a cart rolling into the door of this $900k USD beast. My question is...for the SF90...with it's 3 electric motors and one petrol...does it still use TT's? Or is it naturally aspirated? Since it does also use 3 e-motors. The 2021 Porsche Turbo S at 1/4 the cost can do 60MPH in 2.7s...a mere .2s "slower" and more a "daily driver". Does the SF90 still have it's vibrato?
Dude! 99% of normal day people would wreck it without the tech 🤦♂️
Honestly, Chris Harris would fit in with the presenters of old top gear really well!
So much adds in your video which is really irritated
All this “power” and you still can’t beat the demon. All this power and you’re still not close to Tesla. All this money and you loose on a pink slip. LOL
15miles in a Ferrari, I don't mind even if it is electric !
Next year we gonn hit 1sec for 60miles per hour ? What's the point on road cars any ways . Jk
No thanks...I prefer the old ones with the smell of petrol, leather and rubber. They seem to have lost their hand...Pininfarina, gone...Magneti Marelli gone too. I stick with my v8
Kako ga cepas jbt
This is a dream car and I don’t like Ferraris
Cars that are just more and more clinical and fast are just not cutting it for the full driver experience anymore. If you want all out speed now get a $200,000 Model S Plaid + (yes I know its heavy) and do 0-60 in 1.9 and the quarter mile in under 9. If you want a driving experience get a straight piped GT3 RS.
you can turn everything off so you can control it the way you want to control it one of the best cars
Great car, great review but why do you want SO many ads they are such a distraction.
Zzzzzzzzz
Chris couldn't agree with you more.. Absolutely true about this car.. Just a fast and blunt car.
Yes...I would NEVER buy something like that driving maintenance bill 💸💸💸💸💸
Doesn't sound like a Ferrari
Can we talk about the styling? It looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Ferrari.
Electric Ferrari, lame.
After pulling a police chase.. go electric and hide
and yet new tesla does 0-60 in less than 1.9 at half the price😂
here in belgium the first SF90 stradale has arrived and what a beauty it is.... grworld.info/fund/d8uthbfOhayn2II/b-nteo
Ditch the stupid electric motors and the weight. Useless unless they are solid state assist for shifting. Lithium is a dead technology, especially in a Ferrari. Ferrari needs to make their cars outside of over regulated Europe and keep the cars pure! I bought the GTS superfast knowing this could be the last of the greatest v12 motor before the excitement is taken away at a higher price! Europe used to make the greatest cars, now due to their over regulation they are destroying the likes of Porsche and Mercedes as well with these little 4 cylinder turbos everywhere. We are in an idiot age of ecobox, science is real, and a BS troll government!
Tombino ibrido elettrico🤣🤣
Chris Harris knows how to drive Ferrari
Ferrari: Top speen 211mph. Bugatti Chiron: Hold my 300mph!
'One Thouuusannnnnd horse power!! Id never thought id see the day'.....the day was about 10 years ago mate, it was called the Veyron.
That was the most dramatic Edrive ever😂
That car is so powerful that most common users can't handle it without the "drift" mode button on high speed. 😆
Love when Chris does reviews, my favorite person to do these, dude can drive and is honest. The SF90 is insane, the interesting part is the brake by wire, I wonder how much better it is compared to the NSX??
My Job is about 15 miles away but would love to drive that SF90 all over San Fernando valley laughing knowing I have 15 miles to cruise
that top speed isn't that impressive, a 2015 Aventadors top speed was 217Mph
Well its the fastest production road car to the 1/4 mile right now
Im getting tired of Chris these days. Just because all you want is a manual old school car with no drivings aids and no technology at all just so that it feels like a proper Ferrari it doesn't mean the car isnt good or exciting. Times change and Ferrari has to adapt to this new ev world of 1000 hp cars. People love mclarens and lambos because they are flashy and fast in a straight line. If Ferrari wanted they could easily have made a proper supercar with a v12 that would handle like a charm because after all, its Ferrari. We all know what this company is capable of but apparently you are so stuck in the past that you cannot appreciate anything thats not 1980s style. Move on. You literally think Ferrari has any other choice? They have to please their buyers if they want to continue to exist. LITERALLY nobody wants a hardcore supercar anymore unless its a special edition FOCUSED for the track.
Chris please, take a couple of seconds and ask yourself if the wealthier customers who normally buy a Ferrari know how to seriously drive it... Are you sure they care about technology before driving?
3:58 is such a fantastic shot, chris harris's driving is so entertaining to watch
Top gear is dead now
La Ferrari: "Am I a joke for you?"
yep, you could drive that in electric-only mode before this one. this wasn't a true statement
A shit model! Looks like a miserable model for Ursula VDL and EU commission. Poor Enzo Ferrari...
Top gear we have today just doesnt cut it. NGL even american/aussir version was 100 times better
Wow what a car when they fuel cap flipped open I though had a roof vent like my 555 sti ra lol all I need now is some battery’s that can take me 20 miles 🤭😍👍🔥🔥
It looks part McLaren part Corvette, no? Look again...
Macchina di merda, senza personalità e brutta, anche la Ferrari è morta!!!
Idk why this is my dream car
"It's not the future that i want".
Great presentation - one word: Passion
I'd be content just gazing at this car. It's so beautiful!
If you've got the money to buy one of these, everything you need for a weekend away you'd just buy when you got where you were going...
And just like that he's back on the banned list
this car epitomizes what is wrong with the car industry ..... just like the aprilia 660 does with sportbikes...
It's an exhilarating ride
i think it the best ever AERODYNAMIC design .....
Gear changes are just whip snapp. And your gone. The car is simply amazing and chris did an amazing job i love this guy and his reviews. No matter his personal take on the car good or bad
Chris, not sure it’s a great car ??!! Are you mad ??!! It is EPIC man! I bet you loved it really !!!
You can buy your wonderful McLaren Artura....hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaah patetici. E vestiti meglio...
Awful review for Top Gear. Fire him and bring Mat Watson.
@No .
What are you on about? Chris harris is better than mat watson
Not a drivers car?Ferrari: Let's try not kill the driver first.
chris harris carries new tg, they should just sack the two cringe enducing muppets and turn top gear into the one man show that is chris harris.
Doesn't look as good as the 458...
Chris Harris is wasted talent on new Top Gear
379,8 KMH FERRARI SF90
porsche creats 918 6 years ago.
This is a track car!
Ferrari are to focused to build SF90 to be a good car and forgot building F1 car to be competitive.
Why? Why does every UK personality get it wrong? It's AWD, not 4WD in a car. There is NO transfer case.
PE CRISS HARRIS PROST SERGIO PEREZ PIERO NAPPI PINNINPHRINA ENZO BANDINI ENZO FERRARI KE JAUN E POGSOM ENZO FERRARI AND HIS OWN FERRARI SF90 GT EV HYBRID WITH TATBELLS
Rimettete Jeremy, Richard e James. Questo non è più Top Gear. Chi sono questi? Squadra che vince non si cambia. Tanto vale guardare Friends!!!!!
So I take it that the Laff is still a Legend
instead of making a cheap laferrari they made a 1000hp nsx
It's so beautiful
Please stop the vomitive color grading! (Teal & orange)
As usual, no interest in either turbos or batteries. But, I have to say that's arguably the best looking of the V8 series that they've done yet. And you can't even really make any great claims to skill when you pass lesser folks, since these types of cars are so assisted now. I'm sure I could kill myself just fine in a 458 Speciale, and have the satisfaction of at least being the one responsible.
Too much playstation and hairdresser, sorry, it just dont tingle my willy.... now the one from Alfaholics you drove, now thats a proper car 😊
Does it look like a ferrari? Hell no, its a corvette.
I'd choose 812 over this any day lol 1000hp my az
This is way faster than the 812
15 miles of range is not useless at all...that's a lot of laps around Harrods you know!
Oh dear. The front end looks like a 1995 Chevy Camaro. A lot.
Mmm, not sure, but hey, that’s progress, not that pretty either is it
Gordon Murray knows how to design a super car.
I miss chris harris old videos. This is to much 2 fast 2 furious :(
Utter garbage. Would rather have Model S plaid plus.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In love 😍
WHERE ARE THE OTHER FOUR CYLINDERS?!?!
In Jean Claude junkers ass
1000HP Ferrari :O Supra Owners be like: thats cool kid
@No yeh, also i dont think a 1000hp supra would handle as good as a Ferrari
A built car will always be fast but won't be as reliable
Actually it's not the first ferrari you can drive on electric power only
is it really only 211 mph top speed?
Cars aren't only about top speed
Finally i got this car. with GTA mods Vehicle :v hahahahaha
That capacitive starter button is a huge turn-off; it's no different to pressing the screen on a $50 phone, where's the sense of occasion a top of the range Ferrari is supposed to deliver? They went cheap on the one thing that is supposed to excite you and establish a connection to the car.
She is a beautiful car, she definitely a rarri far as looks.
too much editing
WHERE are the ELECTRIC FERRARIS WELL i guess they will die out in 9 Years 2030
if chris harris told me to jump off a bridge, I would be inclined to think he knows whats best and follow through.
1995 Camaro front with the modern Camaro back Amazing machine but one ugly car for Ferrari standards
The LaFerrari looks and sounds way better... Might be an unfair comparison, but that's the only other ferrari hybrid road car.
This is faster than the laf
If u need a drivers car get a Yaris GR :)
The SF90 is new era platform for future Ferrari cars. Just like the 458. Give it time and the sf90 will be the car everybody wants.
15miles of ev range is only good for leaving and coming into the house to park. So the neighbors or wife dont hear ya.
Anyone buying the Formula 1 Topps Chrome Hobby Boxes? Let me know your thoughts. I think the product is going to be the best card release of 2021.
5:44 great camera take
