Overview of the Ferrari SF90 Spider
This is a May 2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider, Ferrari's open top plug in hybrid flagship, finished in Bianco Fuji white over a Sabbia and Nero interior with Castoro floor mats. The car is left hand drive and was supplied new through Ferrari's official dealer network in Japan, confirmed on the auction sheet as a dealer import rather than a grey import. It has covered a genuine 8,290 km, which converts to approximately 5,151 miles, and carries an overall auction grade of 5 with an interior grade of A, among the highest combinations the Japanese auction system awards. The car was inspected and photographed at USS Nagoya and Hokuriku ahead of the 2 October 2026 sale, where it appears as lot 20058 with a start price of ¥43,000,000.
This particular SF90 Spider is heavily optioned. The auction sheet lists the ADAS super pack with adaptive front lighting, a surround view camera and front and rear parking sensors, the front lift system, gloss black brake calipers, titanium wheel bolts, 20 inch diamond polished forged wheels, electrically adjustable ventilated seats, Prancing Horse embroidery on the headrests, and a substantial carbon fibre package covering the front spoiler, side splitters, sill kick panels, driver zone, upper centre console, dashboard inserts and rear trim. The steering wheel carries integrated LED indicators in Ferrari's modern style. For a market searching worldwide for a well specified Ferrari SF90 Spider, this is about as comprehensive a specification as the model is offered in.
The Drive Review
The SF90 Spider is the car that took Ferrari's road going performance into genuinely new territory. Behind the two seats sits a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8, the F154 derived unit here producing around 780 ps on its own, paired with three electric motors, one on the crankshaft and two driving the front wheels independently through the torque vectoring RAC-e system. Combined output is quoted at 1,000 cv, and Ferrari's own figures put the 0 to 100 km/h sprint at well under three seconds. What separates the SF90 from earlier hybrid supercars is how the electric front axle transforms the way the car puts power down and turns in. At low speed it can run in pure electric mode for short distances, in town it blends power seamlessly, and once pushed hard the front motors effectively give the SF90 a form of four wheel drive traction and torque vectoring that a rear drive Ferrari never had before.
On the move the character is unmistakably modern Ferrari, with a steering rack that is extremely quick off centre, a chassis that communicates grip levels with real precision, and a dual clutch gearbox that fires through ratios with almost no interruption in drive. The Spider adds a retractable hard top, giving the practicality of a coupe with an open air option, and Ferrari engineered the body so that the convertible loses none of the structural rigidity that makes the coupe feel so taut. The V8 itself is a different animal to Ferrari's older naturally aspirated engines, with turbocharged mid range shove and a sound that is deliberately engineered through resonators and the exhaust layout, rather than the high revving shriek of a 458 or a 430. Owners and testers who know their Ferraris point out that the electric assistance fills in the turbo lag almost entirely, so the SF90 picks up cleanly from low revs in a way few forced induction V8s manage.
Weaknesses to be realistic about are mainly to do with complexity rather than outright character. The hybrid system, battery pack and electric motors add weight and mechanical sophistication compared with a traditional V8 Ferrari, servicing needs to be carried out by a Ferrari specialist familiar with the hybrid architecture, and the car is firmly a modern, electronically managed supercar rather than an analogue classic. For buyers who want outright usability alongside genuinely extreme performance, together with the flexibility of open top motoring, the SF90 Spider remains one of the most capable cars Ferrari has ever built.

Japanese Auction Report Translation
This translation has been produced and checked by Autoselecta from the original Japanese auction sheet. The lot is recorded under the imported car section of the auction house. First registration is shown as Reiwa 6, May 2024. The make is given as Ferrari and the grade as SF90 Spider. The engine size is listed as 3,980 cc. Neither 2WD nor 4WD is marked on the drive field, which is common practice for this type of hybrid supercar entry on Japanese sheets. The overall auction grade is 5, with an interior assistance grade of A, representing excellent presentation inside the cabin. The shaken inspection runs to May 2027. The odometer reads 8,290 km with the kilometre figure circled, confirming it is a genuine reading rather than a mileage discrepancy flag. The transmission is recorded as automatic, and the air conditioning is noted as AAC, meaning automatic climate control. The original exterior colour is confirmed as Bianco Fuji. The colour code field has been left blank by the inspector. Fuel is marked as petrol with electric also written in, consistent with the SF90's plug in hybrid powertrain. Interior colour is black and beige. The new car service book with attached warranty booklet is marked as present. Import type is marked dealer, confirming this is an official Ferrari dealer supplied car rather than a private or parallel import. Steering is confirmed as left hand drive. The recycling deposit is 17,530 yen. Seating capacity is listed as two. The registration plate is recorded as Mie 302 na 7643, though the final digits were not fully certain from the scan. The frame number is ZFF96NMJ000301386. Vehicle dimensions per the registration certificate are 470 cm long, 197 cm wide and 119 cm high.
Under inspector's remarks, the sheet lists Apple CarPlay, Scuderia Ferrari emblems and a premium Hi-Fi system as fitted. The exterior and interior colour combination is confirmed again as Bianco Fuji outside with Sabbia and Nero inside, and Castoro mats. The manual, warranty booklet, spare key and key box are confirmed present, with a note that the charging cable will follow at a later date. Three condition remarks are noted in plain text: wheel scratches, creasing to the seat edges, and small scratches generally. These are consistent with light, careful use rather than any heavy wear.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The damage diagram on the auction sheet marks six points around the car. On the front bumper there is a notation for a scratch accompanied by rub marks, consistent with light scuffing from kerbs or car park manoeuvring rather than impact damage. The windscreen carries a note for stone chips, which is extremely common on a car used on Japanese roads and is a cosmetic rather than structural point. On the left side of the car, in the front wing or door area (the exact panel was not completely certain from the scan), a small dent is marked, denoted U1, meaning a minor dent without accompanying paint damage. Stone chips are also marked separately on both the left and right sides of the body, again a usage related cosmetic point rather than anything of concern. On the rear bumper a small scratch is marked, graded A1, the lightest classification on the Japanese scratch scale.
Taken together, this is a very clean example for its age and mileage, with nothing on the damage diagram beyond light surface marks and one small dent. There is no indication anywhere on the sheet of repaint, panel replacement, filler work or structural repair. For a modern, low mileage supercar being sold through the official dealer network, this presents as usable enthusiast condition verging on showroom quality, with only the kind of light cosmetic wear that any carefully used example of this age would be expected to show.
Interior Condition
The cabin is trimmed in Sabbia and Nero leather with Castoro floor mats, and the interior assistance grade on the auction sheet is A, Ferrari's top interior rating under this system. The only interior remark from the inspector is light creasing to the edges of the seats, which is typical of supple leather sports seats after a period of use and is not described as tearing, staining or structural wear. The dashboard features the carbon upper centre console and dashboard inserts noted among the factory options, along with the carbon driver zone and LED equipped steering wheel visible in the cabin photographs. The digital instrument binnacle, visible in the photographs, displays an odometer reading of 8,290 km together with hybrid and sport mode indicators, confirming the mileage recorded on the auction sheet. Ventilated electrically adjustable seats and Prancing Horse embroidered headrests are listed among the fitted options. Apple CarPlay and the navigation system are confirmed present and operational per the inspector's notes.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction houses grade each car on a standardised scale understood across the export trade. An overall grade of 5, as given here, is the highest grade routinely awarded to used cars at auction, generally reserved for vehicles in excellent, close to new condition with no significant accident history or repair work. The separate interior grade, recorded here as A, assesses the condition of the cabin independently of the exterior bodywork, with A representing excellent condition with only light signs of use. Together, a 5 grade body with an A grade interior places this SF90 Spider among the best condition classifications the Japanese auction system issues, reflecting both its low mileage and its careful use since new.
Model History
The Ferrari SF90 Spider was introduced as the open top companion to the SF90 Stradale, Ferrari's first series production plug in hybrid supercar, which itself launched in 2019 as a celebration of Ferrari's seventy years in Formula 1, with SF90 standing for Scuderia Ferrari 90. The car combines a twin turbocharged V8 with three electric motors and a lithium ion battery pack, giving it the ability to run in pure electric mode, as well as delivering a combined output that places it at the top of Ferrari's model range in outright performance. The Spider variant uses a retractable folding hard top rather than a traditional fabric roof, a layout Ferrari has used on several of its recent open top models to combine coupe like rigidity and refinement with true open air motoring. This example, registered in May 2024, represents a late, well optioned production car from within the SF90 Spider's run before Ferrari's hybrid flagship line moved on.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The SF90 marked a genuine turning point for Ferrari, being the marque's first hybrid supercar to reach full series production and the first Ferrari road car to use an electrically driven front axle, giving it a form of all wheel drive traction that no previous Ferrari offered. It represents the current technical peak of Ferrari's road car engineering, combining Formula 1 derived hybrid technology with the brand's traditional V8 character. As the model that bridges Ferrari's combustion only heritage with its hybrid and future electrified future, the SF90 holds a notable place in the manufacturer's history, and early plug in hybrid supercars from the established Italian and British marques have tended to attract increasing enthusiast interest once production ends. The Spider body style adds further desirability, being the open top version of an already important model, finished here in a specification with extensive carbon fibre detailing, forged 20 inch wheels and the full ADAS driver assistance package, a combination that will appeal strongly to collectors and enthusiasts looking for a well equipped, low mileage example rather than a base specification car. With dealer supplied, left hand drive cars of this age and condition becoming harder to source from the Japanese market as domestic owners hold onto late model Ferraris longer, cars presented with this level of grade and documentation are increasingly difficult to replace.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Buyers considering any SF90 Spider should check the condition and service history of the hybrid battery pack and its associated cooling systems, since these are complex components unique to Ferrari's hybrid platform and should ideally be serviced only by an authorised Ferrari specialist. The dual clutch transmission and electric front axle motors should be checked for smooth operation with no warning lights, and the carbon ceramic brakes, standard on this model, should be inspected for wear consistent with the car's mileage. Given the extensive carbon fibre aerodynamic parts fitted to many SF90s, including this car, any kerbing or stone damage to front splitters and side sills is worth checking closely in person, since these parts can be expensive to repair or replace. Cosmetically, buyers should expect typical stone chip marks on the nose and windscreen on any car that has covered meaningful road miles, as seen here, and should check seat leather for creasing or wear in line with age and use, both of which are noted on this particular car's auction sheet. Verifying the presence of the original service book, warranty booklet, both keys and any charging equipment, as documented in this sheet, gives useful reassurance of a well cared for example.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan remains one of the strongest sources worldwide for immaculate, low mileage modern Ferraris, because Japanese owners of high value sports cars typically maintain their vehicles to an exceptional standard, cover very low annual mileages, and use dealer backed servicing throughout ownership. The Japanese auction system's independent grading, with a transparent damage diagram and detailed inspector notes, gives buyers a level of condition disclosure that is rarely matched in private sale or dealer stock markets elsewhere. A car such as this SF90 Spider, graded 5 with an A interior and supplied through the official Ferrari dealer network, offers international buyers access to genuinely exceptional condition stock that can be very difficult to find in their home market, particularly for a heavily optioned, left hand drive example like this one.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Buying a car at Japanese auction from outside Japan can feel daunting for first time buyers, but the process follows a structured path. Once a vehicle of interest is identified, Autoselecta reviews the auction sheet and photographs in detail with the buyer, places bids on the buyer's behalf according to an agreed maximum, and manages payment, export paperwork, shipping and documentation once a bid is successful. From there the car is shipped from Japan to the buyer's destination port, with import procedures, duties and registration requirements varying considerably from country to country, so it pays to understand your own country's specific import rules, applicable taxes and any compliance or conversion requirements before bidding. Working with a specialist familiar with both the Japanese auction system and your home market's import process removes much of the uncertainty from the experience.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives international buyers direct access to Japan's major auction houses, including USS Nagoya and Hokuriku where this SF90 Spider is listed, with full transparency around auction sheet translation, grading and condition reporting rather than relying on a dealer's own description of the car. The team handles bidding strategy and placement on the buyer's behalf, export preparation, international shipping, and import support once the vehicle arrives in the buyer's country, with vehicle tracking provided where available so buyers can follow their car's progress from Japan to their door. Communication is maintained throughout the process, from the initial auction sheet review through to arrival, so buyers are never left guessing about the status of their purchase.
Browse This Week's Japanese Auctions
Autoselecta lists a changing selection of vehicles from Japan's major auction houses each week, covering everything from modern performance cars like this Ferrari SF90 Spider to classic Japanese icons. Buyers can browse current listings directly on the Autoselecta website to see what else is coming up for sale alongside this car.
Live Auction Search
In addition to the vehicles already listed on the site, Autoselecta offers a live auction search service, allowing buyers to request specific makes, models, specifications or budgets and have matching vehicles sourced directly from upcoming Japanese auctions as they are entered for sale.
Auction Caution
This Ferrari SF90 Spider, like every vehicle sold through Japanese auction, has been inspected by an independent auction house grader before sale, but it remains a used vehicle and the auction sheet is a condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty. Buyers should be aware that even a car graded 5 with an A interior, as this one is, can still require servicing, detailing or minor refurbishment after purchase, and that complex modern hybrid supercars in particular benefit from a specialist inspection on arrival. The specific points noted on this car's auction sheet, namely light scratching and rub marks to the front bumper, stone chips to the windscreen and both sides of the body, a small dent to the left side, wheel scratches, creasing to the seat edges and small scratches generally, are repeated here for clarity and should be read alongside the photographs before bidding.
