Compare the2023 Ferrari SF90VS 2022 Lamborghini Aventador

Both the SF90 and the Aventador have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the SF90 for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, lubrication and any other required maintenance. Lamborghini doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Aventador.

The SF90’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 227 more horsepower (986 vs. 759) and 59 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 531) than the Aventador SVJ’s standard 6.5 DOHC V12. The SF90’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 217 more horsepower (986 vs. 769) and 59 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 531) than the Aventador Ultimae’s standard 6.5 DOHC V12.

On the EPA test cycle the SF90 Coupe running on electricity gets better mileage than the Aventador SVJ Coupe with its standard engine (51 city/51 hwy MPGe vs. 9 city/16 hwy).

On the EPA test cycle the SF90 Coupe running its gasoline engine gets better fuel mileage than the Aventador SVJ Coupe with its standard engine (16 city/20 hwy vs. 9 city/16 hwy).

On the EPA test cycle the SF90 Spider running on electricity gets better mileage than the Aventador SVJ Roadster with its standard engine (42 city/46 hwy MPGe vs. 9 city/16 hwy).

On the EPA test cycle the SF90 Spider running its gasoline engine gets better fuel mileage than the Aventador SVJ Roadster with its standard engine (16 city/19 hwy vs. 9 city/16 hwy).

The SF90 Coupe can travel with zero emissions for 9 miles. The Aventador can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

The SF90 Spider can travel with zero emissions for 8 miles. The Aventador can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the SF90’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Aventador doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Ferrari SF90 higher (3 out of 10) than the Lamborghini Aventador (1). This means the SF90 produces up to 22.5 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Aventador every 15,000 miles.

An eight-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Ferrari SF90, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the Aventador.

The SF90 stops much shorter than the Aventador:

The SF90’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (45% to 55%) than the Aventador’s (43% to 57%). This gives the SF90 more stable handling and braking.

The SF90 Assetto Fiorano Coupe handles at 1.07 G’s, while the Aventador pulls only 1.05 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.

The SF90 is 6.3 inches shorter than the Aventador Ultimae, making the SF90 easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces. The SF90 is 9.2 inches shorter than the Aventador SVJ.

The SF90’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Aventador doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

When three different drivers share the SF90, the memory seats make it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position. The Aventador doesn’t offer memory seats.

The SF90’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Aventador doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The SF90 has a standard heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Aventador doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The SF90’s LED headlights produce a white, bright light using less electricity than the Aventador’s xenon high intensity discharge (HID) headlights. HID headlights can be slow to reach full brightness or power cycle, causing issues when flashing them to signal other vehicles; LED headlights light instantly. LED lights also last about three to four times as long.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the SF90 detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Aventador doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the SF90 has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Aventador doesn’t offer cornering lights.

When the SF90 is put in reverse, the passenger rearview mirror tilts from its original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirror into its original position. The Aventador’s mirror doesn’t automatically adjust for backing.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the SF90 has a standard Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Aventador doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.
