Ferrari opens a new chapter in its history with the simultaneous unveiling of two models that redefine the limits of automotive performance: the 849 Testarossa and the 849 Testarossa Spider. Both plug-in hybrids, powered by a mid-rear twin-turbo V8 engine, set a new benchmark for the Maranello marque by delivering an astonishing 1,050 hp, surpassing the performance of the iconic SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider they replace.
The name Testarossa, long associated with some of Ferrari’s most legendary models, now returns as a symbol of innovation, heritage and desire. The re-engineered V8 alone produces 830 hp, working in harmony with three electric motors to provide unprecedented driving dynamics and blistering acceleration in any scenario. Derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 expertise, the hybrid system not only delivers extra power but also enables up to 25 km of pure electric range, underlining the marque’s commitment to the future of mobility.
The 849 Testarossa stands as Ferrari’s flagship berlinetta, drawing inspiration from 1970s sports prototypes, with revolutionary aerodynamics and a more ergonomic, immersive cockpit. The open-top 849 Testarossa Spider combines the same power and sophistication with the thrill of driving under the sky: its retractable hardtop opens in just 14 seconds, even while on the move at up to 45 km/h, turning every journey into a truly sensorial experience. For added comfort, an innovative wind deflector minimises turbulence while enhancing the connection with both road and environment.
Both models feature cutting-edge technologies such as ABS Evo and the new FIVE (Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator) system, taking electronic controls to the most advanced level ever seen in the marque’s history. Active aerodynamics, lightweight materials and solutions directly inherited from motorsport reinforce Ferrari’s unwavering commitment to performance excellence, balancing extreme power with sophistication and emotion.
With these creations, Ferrari not only pays tribute to the glorious legacy of the Testarossa name but also projects the brand into the future, where tradition and innovation coexist in perfect harmony.
