Depreciation is an undeniable reality in the supercar world, and this sale of a 2022 Ferrari SF90 Stradale illustrates it better than most. Freshly sold for $485,000, Ferrari’s first plug-in hybrid has just saddled its first owner with a colossal loss of $278,295 over three years.
That figure becomes harder to swallow when you realize the car has only traveled 1,600 miles since new. Working it out, that’s $174 per mile—the kind of running cost that would make even the thirstiest V12-powered supercar look frugal.
One of the world’s finest supercars: the Ferrari SF90 Stradale
It’s worth noting that the average transaction price for the SF90 Stradale is $541,780. However, the lowest-mileage, best-maintained examples with the most desirable specifications can easily surpass the $700,000 mark. The most expensive SF90 Stradale sold to date was a 2021 model that fetched an astonishing $935,000 in January 2022.
This particular SF90 Stradale had an original MSRP of $763,295 when new. That figure was inflated by over $252,000 worth of factory options. Among them was the coveted Assetto Fiorano package, which added Multimatic shocks, titanium springs, a lightweight exhaust, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and carbon fiber components to reduce weight and improve performance.
The other options read like a list of Ferrari’s most expensive accessories: carbon fiber front bumper, hood, diffuser, and engine cover, 20-inch forged wheels wrapped in carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow calipers, and more.
There’s also a Scuderia Ferrari shield, carbon racing seats upholstered in a mix of leather and Alcantara, and even a premium Hi-Fi sound system for the 986-horsepower hybrid powertrain. Yes, this car has it all.
Of course, part of this car’s appeal lies in its appearance. Finished in Nero Galaxy—the shiniest, most lustrous black you’ll ever see—the SF90 exudes an elegance and aggression that few other colors can match. It beautifully highlights the sharp creases and impressive aerodynamics of the Ferrari supercar.
Against the black body, the yellow brake calipers and Scuderia shield provide just the right amount of contrast, while the extensive carbon fiber accents emphasize the car’s racing heritage.
In person, the Nero Galaxy paintwork seems to absorb all the sunlight, giving the SF90 a liquid metal appearance. Beneath that glossy black exterior lies a groundbreaking car. The SF90 Stradale, introduced in 2019, is Ferrari’s first mass-produced PHEV and the brand’s first mid-engined car with all-wheel drive.
Power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine combined with three electric motors and a 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery. Total output is a staggering 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. One motor is coupled to the V8 to drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the other two independently power the front wheels.
Ferrari claims the SF90 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph. The hybrid system even allows for limited all-electric driving, though we suspect few SF90 owners care about that.
After the sale, the owner and top bidder negotiated and settled on a final price of $485,000—a bargain for the buyer and a massive loss for the seller. When you buy a Ferrari, the unwritten rule is to park it in a climate-controlled garage, drive it sparingly, and watch its value appreciate. That’s how it’s supposed to work, anyway.
Supercars have never been a financially wise investment, but the SF90’s numbers are still impressive in that context. The $278,295 depreciation over three years is almost enough to buy a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo. At $174 per mile, it’s the kind of math that would make even the wealthiest owners wince.
Ironically, the new owner has now benefited from the previous owner’s massive depreciation hit. They now own an SF90 Stradale in Nero Galaxy—one of the most advanced, beautiful, and emotionally stirring Ferraris ever built—without experiencing the heartache of that initial value drop.
For the seller, however, it’s a painful reminder that in the world of supercars, values can plummet, and driving your dream car often comes at a very high price.
