The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the SF90 Stradale hits 100 km/h in 2.54 s versus 2.95 s for the 296 GTS. At this point, the SF90 Stradale leads by 0.41 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the SF90 Stradale is doing 193 km/h against 181 km/h for the 296 GTS. The gap is 0.43 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the SF90 Stradale crosses the line in 9.75 s versus 10.39 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the SF90 Stradale continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 268 km/h versus 251 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SF90 Stradale finishes in 17.54 s versus 18.79 s, with a 1.25 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (1.57 kg/hp vs 2.48 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.10 seconds. The 0.41 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
