Driving a Ferrari SF90 Spider around L.A. made us the centerpiece of social-media photo shoots, but it also inspired better souls.
Driving a Ferrari is like being in a sleeker, faster-moving homecoming parade. But what if the parade happens every day? Just as peacocks live outside the zoo, Ferrari owners run to Trader Joe's for frozen hash browns and Japanese lilies, right? What's that like, I thought, as I tossed my tote bag onto the passenger's seat of theFirst off, expect attention and questions. Even in jaded L.A.
Part plug-in hybrid and part supercar, the SF90 is the right animal for L.A., where eco-awareness is as important as who you wear. In Electric mode, the SF90 is tugged around by its front motors. With the top down you can hear the sci-fi whir it emits to warn the few people walking in L.A. If a theremin-playing front-drive Ferrari offends you, switch to Hybrid or Performance mode, and the 769-hp 4.0-liter V-8 shouts itself awake as if roused from a nightmare.
You wanna race? Like the biggest guy in a bar, the SF90 draws unwanted challenges. You might lose, but only because at freeway speeds the automatic mode won't downshift to the lowest possible gear, so be sure to grab the paddles if you want to answer the challenge of every Dodge Challenger. Did you take the 101 to the 405? In the stop-and-go, the SF90 trundles along without any thermal drama. Even after hours in traffic, you arrive free of pain, fatigue, or agita. Ride comfort is excellent thanks to the MagneRide dampers. Think $600K Corvette, gaining me a new respect for the Corvette.
Why me? I wanted to look at daily life with a hypercar to provide consumer advice, which is: Get the nose lift. Every errand has a parking lot, and the lift raises the front enough to avoid costly scrapes. Speaking of errands, the SF90 did carry what I needed from Home Depot to do a tile job. But, distracted by what might be happening to it in the Trader Joe's parking lot, I forgot the hash browns.
