SELLING My Ferrari SF90!? The Plan with My New 296 GTS

Selling my Ferrari SF90 Stradale!? With the 296 GTS soon to arrive, let's think about the plans for what happens next with the SF90. The Swiss Alps do not disappoint with quite the scenery, and a true snowy winter test for the Ferrari as we venture across the mountains.
I took delivery of my Ferrari SF90 almost a year ago, and it's now crossing through 10,000km but this tour has been all about chasing the snow and what a spectacular way to find it. We're heading across the Julier Pass, with an absolutely freezing blizzard, as low as -14C (7F) and learning more about the car along the way. Naturally, winter tyres are a life saver, this would not work so well without!
However, the Ferrari 296 GTS spec is soon to be submitted, and that means working out the plans for what happens in the garage when it arrives. Will the SF90 stay or go, let's discuss my plans and think about what might happen next during this leg of the Winter Tour.
SPOILER: Hopefully it will come as no surprise that I have no intention to sell the SF90 in a huryr, it is my first ever new Ferrari that was built to my spec and it's such a magical car that I love driving. The 296 GTS is most certainly an addition to the collection, although my GTC4Lusso will go once the Purosangue arrives in the garage. However, there is potentially something on the horizon that's due to follow the SF90 that rather grabs my fancy, the codename "SF90 VS"...
Thanks for watching, Tim

[@MegaSturrup]

Your SF90 is by far one of my favorite cars. This road spec was indeed the right way to go about it. Cheers

[@Shmee150]

I'm so happy with the spec I chose!

[@timhouston1638]

Could we get a Shmuseum video of the full cleaning and detailing of this when you get back? That would be a very satisfying watch. Thanks Tim!

[@kha7705]

​@@Shmee150 hello Shmee 😊 thank you for what you provide us. Happiness and dreams ✨

[@5parky]

The SF90 really suits you, the most from your collection. The spec and it’s mild to wild personality. It’s a true gem and so exclusive. The road presence of an SF90 is off the chart. So happy to hear it’s got a spot in your collection. You’re a legend for choosing this for your winter cross country tour. Thank you for taking us on your journey, we cherish your videos 🙌🏽

[@hooooiiiiiii]

Thank u! Vid is way to long for me. So im glad u made it in text.

[@meratta5768]

He’s changed his mind as soon as he seen that prototype on the road 😂😂

[@Shmee150]

If you recall, when I did the spec for this car about 2 years ago, I spoke about how I wasn't going to order the Assetto Fiorano because I expected a VS model to follow... turns out I was right!

[@patwilmot5287]

Exactly 😂

[@kndli67]

What prototype? I would love to see it

[@dennispatrick4999]

No wander he decided to take it to the snow... 🤫🤔🫣

[@benjigamestoo7164]

That prototype looks sick

[@Adriengue964]

Got fined 1500€ this summer for going 6km/h over the limit on the highway + forgot to turn one of my blinkers (once) when overtaking. I am French, and 2 weeks ago I have received a paper stating that I was not allowed to drive on Swiss territory for 1 YEAR + 400€ more for « administrative fees » !!! Ridiculous.

[@Carreraboy911]

Wtf. .. 6kmh over the limit and 1 year ban ? They are insane in the brain

[@R19Robbin]

This thing just looks so awesome with that roof box, but you've probably heard that a lot 😂👌

[@Shmee150]

I've been loving it on this tour

[@petripaa]

The state of your SF90 is pretty much showcasing how all cars look at Finland on late part of the winter. The "grime" is actually road salt + actual tarmac (which the salt dissolves slowly). Here people are also using studded tires on regular roads during winter time, which makes things even worse... I cannot imagine driving car like this for the whole winter. In fact I have separate car for the winter months & day to day driving and the the better car for summer & fun stuff...

[@sputnikalgrim]

What ever your choices Tim, thank you for bringing us with! Can’t think of another channel driving an SF90 down a snowy mountain. Looking forward to all the content to come.

[@Eik44]

Do not sell it. I love it

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

I don't think you should sell this car, it's just too beautiful, and it's perfect as it is! I'm not sure a track-focused version would make this car any better!

[@Acriore]

Love these trips I was driving also on those roads almost the same time just not a Ferrari but Renault 😃 Thanks Shmee for the video!

[@alexjordan9854]

Being fair the versione speciale sf90 looks absolutely mega so far, cant say I'm a fan of the fixed wing, the mid development prototype with just the extended rear was more for me, the biggest problem I see for it is the upcoming F250, I love watching you develop your channel and the journey from watching you in monaco in the vantage to now, as much as id love to see you pull an allocation for the sf90vs, I'd hate to see you take any depreciation damage on one knowing what's coming from marenello not long afterwards, test drive someone else's make the content and keep the funds for maybe a few other cars, could have a 1m coupe, clk black, and maybe an sl65 black too with change over the vs, eyes peeled regardless and excited for what comes next, top tier content as always

[@davidharschnitz3566]

Always cool to see you out enjoying your cars, they are made to drive. I'm sure you'll be happy to see it clean again.

[@SebVictor]

I wish I have enough opportunities to be able to take a supercar of mine on icy roads and on roadtrips! I said it and I will say it again, very very nice video Shmee thank you for taking us on that journey with you

[@harrysims1256]

Amazing video as always, really looking forward to the upcoming content, I really do like this SF90 the colour and interior is incredible and really glad you brought this car for the journey, very interesting to see how it handled the weather conditions and performance wise. Thanks for amazing content as always and being so devoted to your uploads, I really enjoy each and every video. Keep up the amazing work 👏🏻 😊

[@Robbo123]

Absolutely love the car Shmee. By the way, Switzerland’s scenery is beautiful 👍

[@paul1978g]

I was in St Moritz the weekend of the 27th with my partner for the I.C.E event, That pass is a lot less forgiving that I was expecting, even in a car with winter tyres. The drive from Zurich (hire car sadly not Ferrari) was really nice, so I can well understand you taking the road trip rather than flying. I presume you were there for skiing though.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Shmee150 Awesome Video I'm glad you had a great time driving your SF90 Stradale in the snow in Switzerland and I'm glad you're going to sell it when you're 296 GTB comes and I think it's absolutey incredible that your Purosangue might be coming sooner than planned and I think you should definitely get a 458 Speciale or Speciale Aperta and a 812 Superfast or GTS in the future

[@jamesr5741]

Awesome trip Shmee!! It's great how the roof-box worked out well, perhaps some more adventures in the SF90 to come.

[@111usul]

I think it should stay for good, it's your first new Ferrari, you get that once only, also whole Enzo house thing was so special, smart spec aswell!

[@Shmee150]

It truly was! Great memories, and a picture on my laptop wallpaper

[@BlakieTT]

YEAHHHHHHHHH! Don't sell it! It's amazing on so many different levels! The looks; the electric quietness vs the gorgeous rumble; the power, the speed, the looks. Also the looks... 😍

[@FlynnBellamyCars]

The SF90 is a special car, if you ever have the chance to see one take it because the feeling when your near a car like this is immense. I am lucky enough to have seen a couple of these on being my neighbours, stunning cars.

[@sunilnijran1515]

OMG.. just loved this video, Tim!! The views, scenery and of course the car!!! What a road trip!! Can't wait for the next instalment!!😍😍

[@vanduc996]

I'm sure loads of people have said the same in the comments, but I'll say it anyway.., I love that you're driving your SF90 with a top box around in the mountains in the winter, getting it all grubby and iced up like any other car. From what supercars were 25 or so years ago, the breadth of the performance envelope, or capability envelope, of the modern supercar, is kid of mind blowing!

[@4loveofcars]

I do enjoy watching your channel because you add miles to your wonderful collection, instead of just storing them.

[@jamesrapp9778]

Thanks for taking rhe time to keep me entertained Tim. Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌

[@rh8408]

julierpass looks insane in the snow, drove there with my uncle a couple years ago in the summer and the amg steel brakes hated it

[@Jefe86]

Unexpected news with the Purosangue! Looking forward to seeing the adventures with the FUV. And as others have said, how appropriate that while you were on tour with the SF90 that you would run into a test mule of a car that looks a lot like it………… 21:52

[@Treesuss]

While the road you were on looked safe to use cruise control on, it should be noted, using cruise control while on roads that are not dry is unadvisable. You can spin out of control before deactivating the cruise control. It happened to a teenager I know recently who just started driving. We live in the Midwest and get a lot of snow and ice on the roads. She set the cruise, hit ice, and crashed. She’s okay, but also got a reckless driving ticket.

[@michaelwu8200]

way to go imo. if you can get that limited track edition. That looks awesome.

[@sundu1996]

Quick question - what if you are out of the battery power and want to reverse ? You gotto wait for the battery to charge up a bit ?

[@I_No-one_I]

I totally get what you mean about driving in Switzerland. I recently visited for the first time, and I even used the speed limiter function on my car which I never used back home (in CZ there is a 3 km buffer with speeding, and speed cameras excluded cops usually don't care if you are driving on the motorway 10-15km over). In Switzerland, I was driving like I had the police inspector behind me on my driving test. Switzerland is so beautiful but also unbelievably expensive (especially for someone from central/eastern Europe), and driving in the Swiss alps is really beautiful but let me tell you I was glad I could send it at 200km/h (I know I have a slow car) on the German autobahn on my way home.

[@pklimbic]

You get a 3kph buffer. Fines depend on amount over limit, they are more strict for 30/50/60kph zones than for 80/100/120. If you are over by a lot, the fine depends on your income and they can take your license. In extreme cases, your car ( but that’s hard to “achieve”). Groups of fast cars in the mountains will draw a lot of police attention, especially if going fast or super loud through towns. But, given the nature of Swiss mountain roads, you can have lots of fun without having to worry about the speed limit. Driving fast on highways/ straight country roads is not exciting to us, unlike in many other countries. So just enjoy the curvy mountain roads between the villages, if someone is behind you, let them pass a soon as the road gets straight and you will be fine.

[@I_No-one_I]

@@pklimbic thanks for the extra info. That is exactly what I figured out, set the cruise and just enjoy the views and perfect smooth shifting and steering and it can get quite enjoyable and peaceful especially on the less busy passes.

[@Tristanbirdyt]

Absolutely love your videos they are fantastic thank you so much such a beautiful spec

[@Vincent_Gambini]

Tim, can I suggest the painted Scuderia Shields for the Purosangue? I think they will work well and add a touch of class.

[@unknown81360]

22:05 Tim is basically asking Ferrari for an allocation here ahah Enjoyed the video :)

[@enigma0u812]

Shmee, You really get IT! Thanks for putting the "Brand" through it's paces! ;)

[@christophebrou1178]

Great video,I always enjoy the Europe tours!

[@oscarrose7148]

Shmee, I saw a yellow LFA today in a small village near york today. 1/20 pearl yellow!

[@Shmee150]

That's insane!

[@jedidiahnidthyananthan7281]

Hi Shmee, love your videos.. Cool car collection you have. Curious to know what watch are you wearing in this video.

[@nicholassmith7048]

Seeing this thing in the snowy mountains with a roof box is super cool, and the luxury/road spec suits it so well. However, I am not on board at all with Ferrari's quite dramatic shift to capacitive touch buttons right as their cars are getting unbelievable fast and responsive. In fast cars, you want lots of hard buttons you can quickly and easily use by feel, keeping your eyes on the road. There's a reason why Ferrari's racecars don't have capacitive touch buttons.

[@Datoda]

I hope your VS should you be lucky enough to get an allocation will be in a different spec and not a copy of your current SF90. Maybe it's time for a red or green car again? Or maybe gold/bronze? Perhaps even a matte car?

[@ositaigwe4440]

@shmee150. Which SUV is the best? Considering maintenance and durability.

[@theoriginalbreadcrumb]

I would love a video where you talk about which 5-10 cars you'd keep or buy in the future, if you were not thinking about the shmee150 brand at all and purely thought about what you want yourself. I do think you put your personality in a lot of these cars but I also think quite a few decisions are made because it's a smart business decision and what could help grow the shmee150 brand. I would also know if you would drive cars like the SF90 upto 40-50k miles or higher or if you would keep them pretty low mileage to keep the higher resell value and get new cars more often. TLDR: which cars would you keep or get if you were no longer a youtuber?

[@juliandale50]

If it only reverses in electric what happens when the battery is flat ?? It must reverse on the ICE too ??

[@karlsomers1145]

What Watch are you currently wearing? Love all of you’re video’s👌👌

[@BlakieTT]

Dear Shmeebees, I'm very much looking forward to videos with the Purple Batmobile. Do you think it'll be too long before we have an Autobahn ... high speed (maybe not VMAX?) video? Be safe, of course! 😉

[@sphinxmadmax]

For the one spec with the personal story, i think it's the Purosangue in the spec of the FF because first Ferrari of Tim and first Ferrari with four wheel drive maybe...

[@TheAleschu]

I've been at a friends place just around the corner there. The landscape is astonishing, and, to be clear, I was born in eastern germany not far from Poland - also very, very unique countryside, but Italy is just another level.

[@robmowe8090]

Doesn't the altitude effect the suction in the cups on the roof bars adversely?

[@Shmee150]

Correct

[@jameswallis7219]

Interesting that EV mode doesn’t work colder than -10C. What about reverse (which is EV only), does that work when it’s colder than -10C? I hope it does!!!

[@gandalfkenobi007]

You can't drive in full electric mode below -10 celsius but also reverse is electric exclusively. Does that mean at -10 and beyond you can't reverse?

[@Shmee150]

No, I think it's more that it has to keep the combustion engine running. It could be to preserve the stop start of the engine?

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

I think that Ferrari looks great covered in a bit of grime and ice! Some modern cars just don't look so good when they get a bit filthy, but not the SF90. I would have expected it to be one of those, but you never know until you see. Especially considering how few owners would let their cars get that dirty, let alone have it filmed while it is! Hats off to you, Tim, and more power to you.

[@Raritytuber]

Your SF90 with the roof box looked tremendously cool in the snow I gotta say. 👍

[@Fernweh1965]

The traction control might be activating because the winter tyre profiles are different from standard sizes in term of diameters?

[@W0o0dy]

Probably more because of a couple of hundred Nm's pulling hard whenever you even brush the throttle

[@paulkrapp]

Saw you two on a different channel driving next to a certain camouflaged Ferrari. 😊👍

[@ishaanlele6724]

Just as a suggestion, you can try specing your Purosangue in the same shade and interior for your SF90...those two will look amazing together...also you will achieve what you wanted to do with your Mclaren Senna and Mercedes G wagon in MSO Cerulean Blue.

[@Terence_Rajan]

It would be better to replace this with something similar if possible in spec,hopefully your Purosangue spec is similar to this.

[@bastiangeiger]

You Said you see the sf90 and 296 as different purposes but a thing that they both have in common is that they are meant to have fun. And I just wanted to say thanks for all the high quality videos and I still wonder how you manage to make so many videos a week with the quality suffering. So yeah Thanks ❤

[@MrTimeless101]

The SF90 is nice but a Laferrari on winter tires in the alps, that would be an adventure. But not in Switzerland of course, maybe Italy, Germany or France

[@markspark7347]

Because it ‘was’ my first Ferrari? This means in your mind it’s already gone mate :) love your videos Tim been watching since the Aston Martin Vantage roadster back in…. What was it? 2010?

[@Plaguxux]

im pretty curious if you ran out of electricity will you have a reverse? will the ice be used for that?

[@MegaSturrup]

A video about your watch on swatch 150 seems needed

[@carspear]

Nice video Tim. Great commentary..

[@dyent]

The SF90 remains my favourite Ferrari of the past 20 years - and other than the 599, it's the best looking car they've made in that timeframe too. I've heard that many of the people lucky enough to be able to get one have started selling them off with significant depreciation hits, and I can't understand why they're selling so soon - if it were me, there'd be only 2 things that'd make me want to sell: Pagani and Koenigsegg.

[@jrgenjrgen1165]

Regarding tires. People often think the big issue is to come up the hill. But the big thing is to get down, and to stop. and then the 4WD is no help, the tires are everything.

[@jasonhardingham6863]

All the engineers & money invested in making these supercars & people buy them & stick them in a heated garage under a cover for years, they must love you, showing just what the car they have designed can do! Bravo Sir

[@Shxroyuki]

I think you should get an 812 Comp instead of a Puro and a GTC4 Lusso, but maybe that’s just the 812 fan in me talking.

[@Shmee150]

You need to have a much bigger Ferrari history than I do yet to buy a Comp

[@chrisprice686]

When is the 296 supposed to Arrive

[@karlbuckley8346]

I used to live in Chur Switzerland 2005-2008. An amazing part of the world.

[@japcarjunkie]

Cooler the air, more dense the air gets, so that’s why the suction pads will get looser. Also, keep the SF90, it’s the best car in your garage…

[@halleykondamudi5405]

Shmee’s body language in the intro made me think that perhaps he tried some coffee after his collab with ‘seen through glass’.

[@fakekaradhmou_tv]

Hello shmee, hope u doing very well , what about Daytona sp3?

[@TheNish007]

I've been quite intrigued by the watch you're rocking. Which one is it Shmee?

[@JDR1971]

The car looks fantastic in the snow, ice, and grime!

[@81clive]

When are you purchasing a Classic Car for the Collection?

[@ajautography]

You only mentioned the Purosangue and 296 GTS additions, but not the Daytona SP3. Why?😕

[@Shmee150]

Firstly because I can't afford it, but secondly because I'm nothing like enough of a Ferrari VIP to make that list.

[@theenjabs5685]

From warm US weather to ne snowy Brits.. sir Tim never disappoints.. lol when you saw that prototype though lol.. you need atleast one Bentley or rolls Royce though.. just one

[@richtaylor2129]

Would love to see the 296 GTS & SF90 on a road trip!

[@jonrichmond]

What kind of watch is that?

[@smideralessandro9124]

Hi Shmee. I'm very sorry to hear that you and some friends got fined because of that action. I didnt know that was a thing.. maybe you were just unlucky with the policemen. Cheers from one of your fans in Switzerland

[@Trueflights]

All Electric cars have generated sound below 30mph. It is a regulation (as you mentioned) to alert blind people of the cars presence (since it doesn't otherwise make any sound).

[@LasKekse]

Is it just me or does the video seem sped up at the beginning? Like my KZbin Playback Speed is at normal and this isn’t my first 50fps video either, but it still seems to be slightly sped up.. It doesn’t look natural, even with effect of the cold.

[@mathiashammar1]

I totally agree with you. Switzerland is a beautiful country that i spent dozen times traveling through the Swiss alps during summer. But traffic rules outside villages/Towns are a bit absurd. Been stopped every year in different checkpoints. As you say. Drive below the speed limit and drive like you got a "driver examiner" watching your every move and you will be safe. I think comparing to other countries in Europe. Norway is close second to this kind of overzealous behavior by law enforcement. There i got lasered 4 times and fined 3700 NOK for 11 km/h to fast on a 90 km/h road. About 800km trip. That was the last time i set my foot in Norway : (

[@cule2160]

a GT4 rs would be a great addition to the collection.

[@Mataeli]

As a swiss person i can confirm that speeding isnt taken lightly. But on a stretch like that you can see any radars from miles away 😂

[@49tkscott]

Again, it would be incredibly cool to drive around europe in a Ferrari. I guess my Mazda 3 is all I can manage, hence the reason to watch your channel.

[@713vinh]

The SF90 is a nice car, love the high tech and the back looks amazing! This might be a bit off topic but may I ask what watch you are wearing? Sorry I'm a watch guy.

[@jcintheplacetobe123]

Sticking ur hand outside a car in Australia is also a fineable offence. It’s to reduce hands getting hit by oncoming traffic. I’ve only heard police enforce it but in 30 yrs of driving I’ve never been fined for it

[@irdibasha391]

Anyone know why the passanger cant take pictures with their hand out?

[@matteoponzetto6682]

Because maybe they can drop objects on the road, but it's just stupid

[@garrycroft4215]

The SF90 is a masterpiece of technology. From the City streets to the snowy mountain passes. It’s the Beauty and the Beast. 😍

[@TheTaher5152]

You will buy the Stradale VS, you went to Italy and waited for that Prototype to come out standing alongside your car! It was clear hint why this will go and new will come.

[@krissolson7043]

I love the roof box!

[@ab-nz2mm]

@shmee150 does the ski box make wind noise while driving?

[@robbedesmet]

Imagine putting the roofbox on the Zenvo and do this trip 😅

[@utkarshkaushik617]

Replacing sf90 to 296 GTB will be a no brainer but going for the sf90 VS will be the best option

[@dellshenanigans1985]

You should get a MST mk2 shmee

[@peakrangerover]

Great to hear that the SF90 is staying for a while! Beauty!

[@autogespot_southafrica]

I would love to see the 296GTS finished in Verde GB23😍😍😍.

[@theenlightenedone1283]

Sf90 looks so cool 😎 It looks like a FxxK with ice

[@markymarc8956]

looks so cool in the snow

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

To qualify for SF90 VS minimum must have SF 90 in the garage ++... That's the only reason for keeping it ! Already depreciating like a rock

[@kevinDG7]

Maby upgrade to the sf90 scuderia or something in that direction.
