The 2023 Ferrari SF90, also renowned as the Stradale SF90 (fixed roof) or convertible (SF90 Spider), is one of the most technologically advanced road cars that combines F1 technology with extreme road usability. Owing to its low ground clearance, it limits many Kenyans from buying it due to the nature of our roads, but real enthusiasts own this car in Nairobi after installing a factory front-lift system, always racing on the expressway for a phenomenal experience.
