Top Gear\u2019s Chris Harris slams \u201cstupid\u201d $625k Ferrari SF90 Stradale YouTube: Top GearAs presenter of BBC\u2019s Top Gear, Chris Harris is living out his boyhood dream. Inevitably, once in a while a supercar is going to come along that really gets his back up, and it seems the brand new Ferrari SF90 Stradale has done exactly that. Harris hasn\u2019t always been a household TV name. Prior to joining Top Gear in 2016, Harris presented his own series on YouTube, along with writing for the likes of Autocar and Evo magazine in England. After a famous falling-out with Ferrari back in 2011 (which saw him banned from reviewing their cars for two years) it seems Harris is still on good terms with the Italian brand, but that may be about to change. Unfortunately for Ferrari, Chris Harris is definitely not a fan of the new SF90 Stradale hybrid, not even in the top-range \u2018Assetto Fiorano\u2019 trim. Costing a whopping $625,000 without options, the SF90 represents a new direction for Ferrari. Sadly, it seems that it\u2019s not a good direction, at least according to Harris. Chris Harris reviews the Ferrari SF90 Stradale He believes that supercar manufacturers are going down a \u201crabbit hole of performance,\u201d chasing ever-decreasing 0-60 times and fighting for the fastest lap times possible. The SF90 seems to fall firmly into this category for Harris, and he wasted no time tearing into the apex supercar. \u201cThe thing is undeniably impressive\u201d he admitted when asked about his opinion on the car, but that\u2019s about as much praise as he had. \u201cIt\u2019s a vehicle you find yourself admiring rather than lusting after, it trades in applying forces to the body of the driver, that\u2019s really it.\u201d The complexity of the SF90 is a big issue, as is the brutal performance. \u201cIt\u2019s so fast, you don\u2019t have time to understand what\u2019s going on\u2026 it\u2019s stupid\u201d said Chris. He does admit that the characteristics of the car are \u201csensational\u201d but they sadly don\u2019t make up for its pitfalls. Practicality is a big concern too, as the location of the SF90\u2019s electric motors in the front means that it can\u2019t carry luggage. This transforms it from a car into a \u201ctoy\u201d according to Harris, as there\u2019s no practicality to it whatsoever. The SF90 is \u201cnearly as quick as a LaFerrari\u201d While Ferraris are often lauded as the prettiest cars on the road, even styling can\u2019t save the SF90. In his words, Chris said \u201cit looks like it was styled by a computer, rather than some Italian bloke with a pencil\u2026 It\u2019s lacking emotion.\u201d Summing up, Chris says despite the fact the SF90 is \u201cnearly as quick as a LaFerrari\u201d its stablemate, the F8 Tributo, is far better. \u201cGive me 500hp, 950kg, a manual gearbox, and maybe a little bit of electricity to get through town quietly and start-up quietly in front of my neighbors; Give me that, and that\u2019s the car I want.\u201d Whether his harsh words will lead to another falling out with Ferrari is uncertain, but with many praising his honesty, it\u2019s unlikely Harris is going to change any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
