The most powerful Ferrari ever... is a plug-in hybrid
The newest Ferrari model, the SF90 Stradale, is the company's most powerful car ever, and happens to be a plug-in hybrid aimed at improving the company's environmental image. The SF90 Stradale has a 4.0-liter V8 and three electric motors with a combined output of 986 horsepower. The screaming mid-engine supercar can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 211 mph.
A Ferrari formerly owned by Iggy Pop who used it to "race around and blow off steam" is up for sale.

The "Godfather of Punk" "drove the s--t outta" the Ferrari 308 GTS QV before flogging it following a 100 mph run-in with the cops.
Pop purchased the speedy vehicle in 1998, shortly after moving to Florida.
Speaking earlier this year in an interview with GQ about his car collections, Pop described the motor, which was built in 1984, as "wonderful."
He added: "Whenever I wanted to blow off steam, I'd just race around the freeways here."

Pop sold his Ferrari 308 in 2002 after a 100 mph run-in with the cops, according to the article.
He told GQ: "I drove the s--t outta that car.
"Then I thought something terrible’s gonna happen, so I got rid of it."
The electric blue speedster will be sold at an online auction hosted by British auctioneer H&H Classics on Sept. 16.
It has 61,000 miles on the clock and is expected to fetch up to £30,000 ($40,410.90).

He said: "It was indeed owned by Iggy Pop.
