The SF90 has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Vantage doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.
Both the SF90 and the Vantage have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, 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, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Aston Martin doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Vantage.
The SF90’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 330 more horsepower (986 vs. 656) than the Vantage’s 4.0 turbo V8. The SF90 XX Stradale’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 362 more horsepower (1018 vs. 656) and 3 lbs.-ft. more torque (593 vs. 590) than the Vantage’s 4.0 turbo V8.
On the EPA test cycle the SF90 XX Stradale running on electricity gets better mileage than the Vantage (45 city/44 hwy MPGe vs. 15 city/22 hwy).
The SF90 XX Stradale can travel with zero emissions for 8 miles. The Vantage 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 Vantage doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.
In heavy traffic or at stoplights the SF90’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Vantage doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
The SF90 offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The Vantage doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.
All wheel drive, available in the SF90, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Aston Martin Vantage is not available with all wheel drive.
The Ferrari SF90 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 300 pounds less than the Aston Martin Vantage.
The SF90’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Vantage doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
The SF90’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Vantage does not have an oil pressure gauge.
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 Vantage doesn’t offer a heads-up display.
The SF90’s driver’s power window opens or closes with one touch of the window control, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths. The Vantage’s power windows’ switch has to be held the entire time to close it fully.
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 Vantage doesn’t offer cornering lights.
The Ferrari SF90 has a standard Homelink wireless remote control system for garage door operation and device management, conveniently located on the rear view mirror. Homelink® eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries. Aston Martin charges extra for Homelink® on the Vantage.
The Ferrari SF90 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Aston Martin Vantage isn’t available as a convertible.
