Ferrari's first plug-in hybrid sports car is also the most powerful Ferrari production car ever.

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has a 3.9-liter V8 engine and three electric motors that, together, can produce as much as 986 horsepower. Two of the motors drive the car's front wheels while the third is attached to the gasoline engine mounted behind the seats. It also has an eight-speed transmission similar to that in a Formula 1 racecar.

The SF90 will be able to go from zero to 60 miles an hour in a little over two seconds and reach a top speed of 211 miles an hour. The car can be driven in full electric mode for up to 15 miles and can go as fast as 84 miles an hour using just its electric motors. Normally, the car will operate as a hybrid, though, relying on both the gasoline engine and electric motors.

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale was designed with the cockpit placed far forward.

The first cars are expected to be delivered to customers at the beginning of next year.

Ferrari has made hybrid cars before but not a plug-in hybrid. Hybrid cars have electric motors and batteries that are charged using energy from the car's gasoline engine and from braking. A plug-in hybrid can also be charged through an electrical cable like a fully electric car.
