The Return of a Legend
Ferrari has done it again — and this time, it’s not just another model launch. The Ferrari 849 Testarossa marks the rebirth of an icon that defined the brand’s golden era. More than 50 years after the original Testarossa made automotive history, the name returns as a flagship hybrid supercar pushing the boundaries of both power and elegance.
The new Testarossa will come in two forms: a sleek Berlinetta coupe and a bold Spider convertible, both designed to embody Ferrari’s future vision — uncompromising performance blended with timeless design.

The Heart: A 1,050-Horsepower Hybrid Beast
At its core lies an evolved V8 twin-turbo engine producing 830 horsepower, paired with three electric motors that together deliver an astonishing 1,050 horsepower.
-
0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 2.3 seconds
-
Top speed: 330 km/h (205 mph)
-
EV-only range: 25 km
Unlike most hybrids focused on efficiency, the 849 Testarossa shows Ferrari’s ability to extract emotion from electricity. It’s not an experiment — it’s a completed masterpiece that blends raw combustion fury with silent, instant torque.

Design: Where the Past Meets the Future
The new Testarossa’s design pays homage to Ferrari’s racing heritage, particularly the 1970s 512 series, while reimagining those lines for the modern era. The sculpted front, the wide haunches, and the low-slung stance capture Ferrari’s classic aggression, but now refined with advanced aerodynamics.
The twin-tail rear structure and active spoiler work together to generate a massive 415 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, pressing the car to the tarmac like a race-ready weapon. Every curve serves a purpose — beauty shaped by science.

Inside: Intelligent Power and Driver Focus
Step inside and you’ll see Ferrari’s philosophy of driver-first engineering. The steering wheel brings back physical buttons for instinctive control, while a new system called FIVE (Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Experience) takes things to another level.
Using real-time predictive modeling, FIVE creates a digital twin of the car’s behavior, enabling systems like ABS and traction control to intervene with surgical precision. The result? The driver feels completely connected — not to a machine, but to a living, breathing performance organism.

The Ferrari Legacy: From 1947 to the Future
Ferrari’s story began in 1947, when Enzo Ferrari founded the company in Maranello, Italy, driven by one obsession — to build the most beautiful and fastest cars on earth. From the 250 GTO and the F40 to the LaFerrari, every model carried the same DNA: art, racing, and innovation.
The new 849 Testarossa isn’t just another addition to that legacy. It’s a statement — proof that Ferrari can evolve with time without losing its soul.
As Enzo once said, “A car is made with the heart, not just the hands.” The 849 Testarossa feels exactly like that — a pulse of history wrapped in the technology of tomorrow.
