A rather mysterious Ferrari prototype was spotted undergoing road tests in Maranello, Italy earlier today.

While we can’t be 100 percent sure of the model’s identity given the heavy camouflage, two things are pretty obvious. One is the yellow triangle featuring the lightning sign, which tells us we’re dealing with an electrified vehicle.

The second important clue is the fact that this car is a convertible, despite Ferrari team’s efforts to hide that using a lot of adhesive tape. Corroborating these two hints we can assume this is the Ferrari SF90 Spider, the drop-top version of the SF90 Stradale plug-in hybrid supercar.

If that’s really the case, we don’t really understand why Ferrari insists on applying so much camouflage on this test prototype. Could it be because the SF90 Spider will feature a unique styling compared to the coupe? Possibly, though some details suggest the design won’t change dramatically. The headlights appear to have a similar shape and the high-set central exhausts seem to be positioned in the same place.

The roofline is different, however, but that’s something that happens all the time with convertibles compared to the coupe models on which they are based. Another change regards the shark fin antenna which is moved much further back above the engine compartment. Obviously, a photo of the interior would have made things a lot clearer but we don’t have one, unfortunately.

So what are we to expect from the SF90 Spider in terms of the powertrain? Exactly the same plug-in hybrid setup as on the SF90 Stradale, namely a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 769 hp (574 kW / 780 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque on its own, assisted by three electric motors and a battery.

Two motors are located at the front axle while the third one is sandwiched between the V8 and a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Powered by a 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, the motors deliver a combined output of 217 hp (162 kW / 220 PS), bringing the SF90’s overall output to 986 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS).
