Ferrari's Stradale sets Fiorano on fire with record lap

Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale


Ferrari has announced the fastest lap record yet for a road car at its Fiorano racetrack, located near the Italian town of Maranello. The circuit is a private racetrack owned by the sportscar maker and is used for development and testing purposes.



The start of the show was the 1030-cv SF90 XX Stradale, the new limited-series special based on the SF90 Stradale, and it clocked in a time of 1:17.309. Ferrari says this performance, which was recorded during tests at the SF90 XX Stradale media launch on the 16th of October 2023, represents a new record for homologated road cars. Homologation is the process by which a vehicle is certified to comply with the necessary technical and legal requirements to be roadworthy and safe for public use.

Ferrari Head of Development Test Driving, Raffaele de Simone, was responsible for setting the record time. The company says that the outfitting of the SF90 XX Stradale with lightweight carbon-fibre wheels and Michelin Cup2R tyres was behind the reason that the lap time was 1.4 seconds faster than that set by the original car equipped with the Assetto Fiorano package and the same tyres.
