Ferrari SF90: Faster Than LaFerrari Around Fiorano, and 2 Facts Fans Never Heard

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has almost one thousand horsepower, it reaches one hundred kilometers per hour in two and a half seconds, and when it arrived it was faster around Ferrari's own test track than the LaFerrari hypercar. But it hides two facts that most people, even many Ferrari fans, have never heard. One of them is about going backward. The other is about which wheels move the car. Here is the hint. The SF90 has eight forward gears, and not a single reverse gear. And in one of its modes, this mid-engined Ferrari becomes a front-wheel-drive car. Both facts sound like mistakes. They are actually two of the smartest decisions Ferrari ever made. Every figure in this video comes from a published source, listed below.
