Ferrari's XX programme has always sat at the boundary between road car and race machine. The SF90 XX Stradale Spider takes that philosophy to its logical extreme: a road-legal open-top hypercar that delivers 1,030 cv through a combination of a twin-turbocharged V8 and three electric motors, all dressed here in Bianco Cervino — a warm, classic white from Ferrari's catalogue palette. BBR Models has reproduced it in 1:43, and the result rewards close inspection.
The SF90 XX Stradale Spider: Figures That Define a Generation
Unveiled on 29 June 2023 at the Fiorano test track alongside its fixed-roof sibling, the SF90 XX Stradale Spider is limited to 599 examples. The combined system output of 1,030 cv propels the car from rest to 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds and to 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of 320 km/h. The retractable hard top opens or closes in 14 seconds at speeds up to 45 km/h. Production figures alone ensure this car will remain one of the most discussed Ferraris of the 2020s.
The XX DNA: Track Bias in a Road-Legal Shell
Ferrari's XX designation has historically reserved for machines that push aerodynamics and dynamics beyond the limits of a standard road car. The SF90 XX Stradale Spider inherits that lineage while remaining fully road-legal — a rare combination. The Bianco Cervino finish, a warm white standard Ferrari colour option, provides a studied contrast to the car's aggressive aero architecture: dive planes, hood vents, and a pronounced rear diffuser that make clear where this machine's priorities lie. That tension between visual restraint and mechanical extremity is precisely what makes the Bianco Cervino specification compelling to collectors.
BBR Models in 1:43: Resin and Precision
BBR Models is an Italian specialist known for high-fidelity resin replicas of Ferrari and other Italian cars, with 1:43 as one of their signature scales. Resin construction allows the manufacturer to render the SF90 XX Spider's complex aerodynamic surfaces — the sharply sculpted nose, lateral dive planes, and rear diffuser geometry — with a level of accuracy that die-cast tooling at this scale rarely achieves. The body is a sealed one-piece construction; surface detail and the Bianco Cervino livery carry the model's fidelity.
In the Display Cabinet: Context and Companions
At 1:43, the SF90 XX Spider sits comfortably in a standard collector shelf or glass cabinet without demanding disproportionate space, making it practical for densely curated displays. It pairs naturally with the SF90 XX Stradale coupe — the closed-roof XX programme companion — or with earlier open-top Ferrari hybrid landmarks such as the LaFerrari Aperta. Within a BBR Ferrari collection, it anchors the most recent chapter of the XX series and represents the current apex of Ferrari's road-going hybrid programme.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:43 scale model?
The real SF90 XX Stradale Spider measures 4,850 mm in length. At 1:43 scale, the model comes out at approximately 11 cm — compact enough to fit on a standard shelf without issue, though the detailed aerodynamic bodywork benefits from display space that allows viewing from multiple angles.
Does the model have opening parts?
No. This is a sealed one-piece resin body, as is standard for BBR Models' 1:43 resin range. The fidelity is concentrated on the exterior surfaces: the aerodynamic nose, dive planes, hood vents, and rear diffuser that define the SF90 XX programme visually.
Why resin rather than die-cast at 1:43?
Resin allows finer surface detail and sharper edges at small scales. For a car as aerodynamically complex as the SF90 XX Stradale Spider — with its multiple dive planes and sculpted bodywork — resin construction preserves geometry that die-cast tooling tends to soften.
How many real SF90 XX Stradale Spiders were built?
Production was limited to 599 examples, announced at the car's unveiling at Fiorano on 29 June 2023. That figure applies to the Spider specifically; the closed-roof SF90 XX Stradale was revealed at the same event as a separate model.
