EV Supercar Comparo: Tesla Roadster Vs Ferrari SF90 Stradale PHEV

• https://insideevs.com

How does Ferrari's PHEV stack up to the upcoming Tesla Roadster?

Ferrari has taken an important baby step towards electrification with their latest production supercar, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) — with three electric motors (2 at the front, one at the rear axle) coupled with a V8 engine — which goes from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.5 secs. Meanwhile, with a pure electric drivetrain, the next-gen Tesla Roadster prototype does it in 2.1 secs.

Since Ferrari did not provide the 0-60 mph numbers, the comparison needs to be 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h), and, according to Tesla's website, the next-gen Roadster goes from 0-100 km/h in 2.1 secs (while 0-60 mph is 1.9 secs).

The Tesla Model S P100D Ludicrous currently holds the 0-60 mph record for a production car clocking in at 2.28 secs outgunning the most powerful ICE drivetrains out there. Even when these ICE-mobiles are augmented with electric motors, they still can't beat the all-electric Tesla Roadster's rocket-like speed which remains beyond reach from what any other production supercar can achieve today.

And a Ferrari is a Ferrari when it comes to the price — the SF90 Stradale has a $1 million dollar price tag vs. the next-gen Tesla Roadster which only costs $200,000 — even the Founder's Series Roadster has a $250,000 price tag and most of these (at the outset) are being given away for free to Tesla's referral program winners.
