The most powerful Prancing Horse car ever references Scuderia Ferrari
FERRARI introduces a new chapter in its history with the introduction of its first series production PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), the SF90 Stradale, images, videos and information on which can be seen on the dedicated web site: SF90stradale.com.
The new model is extreme on every level and represents a true paradigm shift, because it delivers unprecedented performance for a production car.
Figures such as 1,000 cv, and a weight-to-power ratio of 1.57 kg/cv, and 390 kg of downforce at 250 km/h not only put the SF90 Stradale at the top of its segment, but also mean that a V8 is the top-of-the-range model for the first time in the marque’s history.
The car’s name encapsulates the true significance of all that has been achieved in terms of performance. The reference to the 90th anniversary of the foundation of Scuderia Ferrari underscores the strong link that has always existed between Ferrari’s track and road cars.
A brilliant encapsulation of the most advanced technologies developed in Maranello, the SF90 Stradale is also the perfect demonstration of how Ferrari immediately transitions the knowledge and skills it acquires in competition to its production cars.
The SF90 Stradale has a 90° V8 turbo engine capable of delivering 780 cv, the highest power output of any 8-cylinder in Ferrari history.
The remaining 220 cv is delivered by three electric motors, one at the rear, known as the MGUK (Motor Generator Unit, Kinetic) due to its derivation from the Formula 1 application, located between the engine and the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission on the rear axle, and two on the front axle.
This sophisticated system does not, however, make for a more complicated driving experience. Quite the opposite, in fact: the driver simply has to select one of the four power unit modes, and then just concentrate on driving.
The sophisticated control logic takes care of the rest, managing the flow of power between the V8, the electric motors and the batteries.
The SF90 Stradale is also the first Ferrari sports car to be equipped with 4WD, a step necessary to allow the incredible power unleashed by the hybrid powertrain to be fully exploited, ensuring the car has become the new benchmark for standing starts: 0-100km/h in 2.5 sec and 0-200km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
Ferrari’s engineers were able to further broaden the spectrum of dynamic controls by introducing the full-electric front axle, known as the RAC-e (electronic cornering set-up regulator).
As well as exclusively providing propulsion in electric drive, the two front motors independently control the torque delivered to the two wheels, extending the concept of Torque Vectoring. Fully integrated into the car’s vehicle dynamics controls, the RAC-e governs the distribution of torque, making driving on the limit much simpler and easier.
The introduction of this hybrid architecture was a challenge with regard to managing the additional weight which was resolved by an obsessive attention to detail and the overall optimisation of the whole of the car.
For maximum performance in terms of overall weight, rigidity and centre of gravity, the chassis and bodyshell of the SF90 Stradale is all new, built using multi-material technology, including, for example, carbon fibre.
The development of a hybrid car of this kind demanded the development of a series of innovative aerodynamic solutions.
The significant boost in the power unit’s performance brought with it an increase in the amount of heat energy to be dissipated and required the development team to carry out an in-depth review of the aerodynamic flows on the radiating masses. It also demanded new solutions to increase downforce efficiently and guarantee maximum stability at all speeds and in all driving conditions.
Particularly noteworthy is the innovative shut-off Gurney, a patented active system located at the rear of the car which regulates the air flow over the upper body, reducing drag at high speeds with low lateral dynamics loads and increasing downforce in corners, under braking and during changes of direction.
The new car is epoch-changing from a stylistic perspective as it completely rewrites the mid-rear-engined sports berlinetta proportions introduced on the 360 Modena twenty years ago, instead taking its inspiration from Ferrari’s recent supercars.
A good example is the cockpit, which has a smaller frontal section and is placed closer to the front of the car to reduce drag. This was also achieved without impacting on-board comfort.
The track-derived “eyes on the road, hands on the wheel” philosophy takes on a truly central role for the first time too, significantly influencing the ergonomics and styling of the interior. The result is an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and interior layout concept that are a complete departure from previous models.
Another major innovation is the steering wheel which now has a touchpad and a series of haptic buttons that allow the driver to control virtually every aspect of the car using just their thumbs. The central instrument cluster is now entirely digital with the first automotive application of a 16” curved HD screen which can be fully configured and controlled using the controls on the steering wheel.
On the central tunnel, improved ergonomics have been combined with an element from the past: the automatic gearbox controls are now selected by a grille-style feature that references Ferrari’s legendary manual gear-shift gate. Thus past and present skilfully merge to point the new Ferrari towards the future.
The SF90 Stradale also sees the debut of the new ignition key with full keyless technology which will gradually be introduced across the rest of the range, personalised with the model’s name. Thanks to a special compartment in the central tunnel, it becomes an integral part of the car’s styling.
In addition to the sporty version, which references the shape and colour of the signature rectangular Prancing badge sported by Ferrari’s road cars, there will also be a more elegant metal-coloured version.
For the first time on a Ferrari, clients can choose between the standard car and a version with a more sports-oriented specification.
The Assetto Fiorano specification includes significant upgrades, including special GT racing-derived Multimatic shock absorbers, extra lightweight features made from high-performance materials such as carbon-fibre (door panels, underbody) and titanium (springs, entire exhaust line), resulting in a weight-saving of 30 kg.
Another difference is the high downforce carbon-fibre rear spoiler which generates 390 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. The Assetto Fiorano includes Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyres designed specifically to improve performance on the track in the dry. They feature a softer compound and fewer grooves than the tyres provided as standard.

Prestasi MSM Malaysia Holdings Berhad (MSM) untuk suku pertama berakhir 31 Mac 2019 (S1 2019) terkesan berikutan harga gula yang rendah beserta peningkatan 15% dalam pengeluaran permit import (AP) dan penurunan mendadak dalam jumlah eksport.
UNTUK tempoh yang ditinjau, MSM, pengeluar gula bertapis terkemuka negara, telah mencatatkan penurunan 12% dalam hasil kepada RM485.62 juta berbanding RM549.06
juta dalam tempoh sama pada tahun sebelumnya.
Kerugian sebelum cukai sebanyak RM3.38 juta telah direkodkan untuk S1 2019, berbanding keuntungan selepas cukai sebanyak RM20.94 juta pada S1 2018.
Kumpulan telah mencatatkan kerugian bersih berjumlah RM7.06 juta untuk S1 2019, berbanding keuntungan bersih berjumlah RM15.81 juta sebelumnya.
Penurunan hasil adalah berpunca daripada pengurangan sebanyak 11% dan 15% dalam
harga jualan purata (ASP) bagi sektor Domestik dan Industri MSM. Pasaran Malaysia telah
terjejas daripada kenaikan dalam pengeluaran AP kepada pihak industri, disusuli dengan
peningkatan penyeludupan gula ke Malaysia, sekaligus mengurangkan harga dalam pasaran domestik.
Penurunan dalam eksport sebanyak 81% dalam tempoh tersebut turut menjejaskan hasil syarikat berikutan persaingan tinggi dalam pasaran eksport akibat daripada lambakan
gula dunia.
Prestasi kewangan Kumpulan turut terjejas disebabkan pengurangan dalam nilai Ringgit kepada RM 4.1209 terhadap USD, berbanding RM4.0008 pada suku sebelumnya.
Pada S1 2019, MSM telah mengeluarkan 217,880 tan gula bertapis, pengurangan 1%
berbanding 218,976 tan pada tempoh yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Walaubagaimanapun,
kos pengeluaran gula bertapis meningkat sebanyak 12% bagi tempoh yang sama disebabkan penyelenggaraan operasi berjadual, kos pembungkusan yang tinggi, kenaikan harga gas serta jumlah pengeluaran yang berkurang.
Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MSM yang baru dilantik, Dato’ Khairil Anuar Aziz berkata, “Seperti
yang dijangkakan, permulaan bagi tahun 2019 adalah sukar berikutan cabaran yang dihadapi dari pelbagai sudut, bukan sahaja kita, malah dihadapi oleh pengeluar-pengeluar gula seluruh dunia.
Kami sentiasa memantau situasi dengan peka serta melaksanakan pelbagai mekanisma lindung nilai strategik bagi mengurangkan impak daripada ketidaktentuan harga dan matawang memandangkan kos operasi MSM sangat bergantung kepada harga gula mentah dunia dan tukaran asing.
“Di sebalik persaingan yang tinggi dalam pasaran domestik dan antarabangsa serta
peningkatan pengeluaran dalam kalangan negara pengeluar, MSM berjaya mengekalkan nilai pengurusan kewangan yang mantap dengan peningkatan baki tunai sebanyak 12%.
Ini telah memberi ruang untuk pengurusan modal yang lebih efisyen dan juga pelaksanaan inisiatif penjimatan yang lain bagi mengurangkan impak daripada penggearan tinggi.
Pengurusan modal yang efisyen akan kekal menjadi fokus utama pada tahun 2019,” jelas Khairil Anuar.
Mara ke hadapan, pasaran menjangkakan Ringgit akan terus lemah berbanding USD bagi
beberapa bulan berikutnya, akan tetapi, situasi dijangka akan bertambah baik pada suku
keempat 2019.
Selain itu, pelaksanaan cukai eksais (cukai soda) seperti yang dirancang untuk minuman bergula sebanyak RM0.40sen/liter bermula 1 Julai 2019 serta pengeluaran AP yang
dijangka lebih banyak akan turut memberikan kesan negatif kepada pencapaian MSM.
“Walaupun berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran di samping pasaran yang kurang
memberangsangkan, MSM akan memberikan fokus kepada kepimpinan pasaran dalam
Malaysia dan meluaskan jejak serantau.
“MSM akan terus meningkatkan kepelbagaian produk, menerokai peluang untuk kerjasama komersial, melupuskan aset-aset bukan teras dan melaksanakan inisiatif-inisiatif penjimatan kos,” kata Khairil Anuar.

Mustapha menerima sumbangan kurma dari pegawai penyelidik kedutaan Arab Saudi Ahmad Fazrin Yahya
NGO Antarabangsa menerima sebanyak 5 kotak kurma dengan setiap kotak seberat 30 kilogram
PENGERUSI dan Ketua NGO Antarabangsa menerima 5 kotak sumbangan kurma Ramadan dari Kedutaan Arab Saudi.
Mustapha menerima sumbangan kurma dari pegawai penyelidik kedutaan Arab Saudi Ahmad Fazrin Yahya
Datuk Dr Mustapha Ahmad Marican berkata, sumbangan kurma itu amat besar ertinya kerana di Kemboja kesukaran untuk mendapatkan bekalan kurma amat dirasai sepanjang Ramadan ini.
“Sepanjang perjalanan saya di beberapa negeri dan daerah di Kemboja sepanjang Ramadan ini memang di masjid atau surau sukar untuk mendapatkan kurma.
“Jadi sumbangan ini dapat saya agihkan kepada masjid-masjid yang telah kita bina membabitkan lima buah masjid. Ini kerana masjid tersebut hidup dengan aktiviti sepanjang malam bulan ramadan apa lagi pada 10 malam terakhir dengan sebahagian dari penduduk duduk di masjid,” katanya.
Beliau berkata, kurma itu dihantar melalui penerbangan kargo bagi diagih-agihkan segera untuk kegunaan para jemaah masjid khususnya di kawasan pedalaman bermula di Kg Pak Phou, Kg View, Kg Kabai, Kg Thmer dan beberapa lagi.
Katanya, sumbangan ini bagi mereka dapat merasai nikmat buah kurma ini dan pihaknya bersyukur kerana mendapat sumbangan dari kerajaan Arab Saudi.
“Kemboja tidak mempunyai Kedutaan Arab Saudi dan selaku rakyat Malaysia, saya sentiasa mengharapkan sokongan dari Kedutaan Arab Saudi di Malaysia untuk membantu rakyat Kemboja yang serba kekurangan,” katanya.
