Ferrari SF90 Stradale

The SF90 Stradale is Ferrari's hybrid flagship and the most powerful production car the company has ever made. A 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 combines with three electric motors for 1,000 PS, fed through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four wheels. The result is 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h. The all-wheel-drive system matters here, because it is what makes that output something you can actually use rather than fight.

This is a focused machine. Two seats and a single carry-on of luggage tell you the car is about the drive itself rather than touring. The eDrive mode lets you leave a Palm Jumeirah villa or a Business Bay tower in near silence early in the morning, then the V8 comes alive the instant you point it at the open road past Al Qudra or out toward Hatta. The carbon-fibre cabin, digital display and reversing camera keep it modern and surprisingly easy to place on the road.

Dubai is the right stage for it. The smooth, wide roads give the powertrain space to stretch, and the dry warm air suits a car that wants long clear stretches. It draws a crowd outside DIFC and along the Marina promenade without trying, which makes it a natural choice for a special occasion or a photoshoot through Dubai Marina and JBR. Most of all it rewards the empty early hours when you can feel what 1,000 PS really does.

Owning one in the UAE means import duty, registration and a depreciation curve that only goes one way. Renting it for a weekend gives you the full hybrid hypercar experience for a few days of something genuinely rare. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
