Our spy photographers have just captured a second prototype of Ferrari’s highly anticipated limited edition hypercar returning from testing to the Italian brand’s factory ahead of a rumored imminent debut. Check out our new gallery below to get a closer look. (Updated 6/5)
It’s hard to believe Ferrari introduced the SF90 Stradale nearly four years ago, but the calendar doesn’t lie and the automaker is putting the finishing touches on a high-performance variant.
Rumored to debut at this weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, the car lets its intentions be known as it sports a large wing and a unique rear end with an aggressive diffuser. The updates continue at the front as the coupe has a ‘split’ nose and a revamped central support. We can also see what appears to be a more pronounced splitter.
Little else is known about the model at this point and even the name remains a mystery. However, the latest rumors suggest it will be called the SF90 LM instead of the SF90 VS (Versione Speziale).

Regardless of what it’s called, the model will be more extreme than the standard SF90 Stradale. That’s pretty impressive when you consider the regular car has a 769 hp (574 kW / 780 PS) turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and a hybrid system, which boasts three electric motors including one that is sandwiched between the engine and an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The motors are powered by a 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and produce a combined output of 217 hp (162 kW / 220 PS).
This gives the SF90 Stradale an overall output of 986 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS), which enables it to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.5 seconds. The model also has a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h) and can travel up to 15.5 miles (25 km) on electricity alone.
The SF90 LM will undoubtedly improve on that, although production is expected to be extremely limited.
