This mid-rear plug-in hybrid berlinetta combines a re-engineered 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors, delivering a staggering total power output of 1,050 horsepower—50 horsepower more than the SF90 it replaces.
Visually, the 849 Testarossa blends a futuristic design influenced by 1970s sports prototypes with sharp, geometric lines that create an aggressive yet timeless look. While it houses modern aerodynamic advancements, nods to the original Testarossa are evident, such as a pointed nose and a ducktail-inspired rear spoiler divided into three segments that adapt dynamically to the driving conditions, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.
Under the hood, the V8 engine alone produces 830 horsepower and 842 Nm of torque, paired with a rear electric motor and two front motors—derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology—enabling on-demand all-wheel drive and sophisticated torque vectoring for unmatched handling precision. The compact 7.45 kWh lithium-ion battery allows for up to 25 kilometers of pure electric driving, ideal for silent city cruising at speeds up to 81 mph.
The 849 Testarossa features Ferrari’s latest driving aids, including ABS Evo, an advanced brake-by-wire system, and a calibrated suspension setup optimized for track and road use, improving grip, reducing body roll, and ensuring a more responsive ride. The car fastens the performance crown with a Fiorano lap time of just 1 minute 17.5 seconds. It delivers lightning-quick acceleration as well—a 0-100 km/h sprint in under 2.3 seconds and reaching 200 km/h in just over 6.3 seconds, pushing a top speed north of 330 km/h.
Inside, the cockpit embraces a minimalist, driver-focused design. The central sail motif includes an integrated gear-shift gate inspired by the F80 concept, and the controls are ergonomically arranged to prioritize accessibility and concentration. This refined yet functional interior complements the 849 Testarossa’s dual personality—raw power married with cutting-edge technology and comfort.
Available simultaneously in coupe and Spider versions—with the latter offered in a fresh mustard-yellow that accentuates the sharp wedge profile—the 849 Testarossa ushers in a new hybrid era for Ferrari, blending emotive design, legendary heritage, and blistering performance into one breathtaking package. Price remains undisclosed, but true to Ferrari tradition, this pinnacle machine will command a premium reserved for clients seeking Maranello’s unmistakable blend of exhilaration and innovation.
