World-renowned sports car maker Ferrari has introduced its new hybrid model, the 849 Testarossa. Inspired by the iconic 1980s Testarossa, this car comes equipped with the latest modern technology. It now takes the top spot in Ferrari’s lineup, replacing the SF90, which was launched in 2019.

Design and Style

The new 849 Testarossa blends past inspiration with future-focused design. Its side air vents are larger and more prominent, while the twin rear spoilers give it a sportier appeal. The front end carries a resemblance to the F80, but with slimmer and sharper lines for a modern look.
Ferrari has also introduced a new color option, “Rosso Fiammante” (Flaming Red), which highlights the car’s sporty personality.

Interior and Features

Inside, the car features a modern infotainment system, a digital display, and comfortable sports seats. The steering wheel is equipped with integrated controls, and multiple driving modes are available, including hybrid settings. The Spider version (with a retractable roof) adds to the thrill of driving and enhances the overall experience.

Engine and Performance

Under the hood, the 849 Testarossa carries a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors. Together, this setup produces an impressive 1,036 horsepower, which is 50 horsepower more than the outgoing SF90.
According to Ferrari, the car can reach speeds of over 330 km/h (205 mph). It also comes with an all-wheel-drive system, improving handling and making the driving experience more dynamic.

Mileage

Being a hybrid, it combines petrol power with electric motors. Ferrari has not officially revealed the fuel economy figures, but it is expected to deliver better mileage than the SF90 thanks to the improved hybrid system.

Price

In Europe, the starting price of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa is €540,000 ($540,000). Prices in the U.S. are likely to be higher due to tariffs and import costs. The car will be offered in both coupe and Spider versions.

Conclusion

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa revives the memory of the legendary 1980s Testarossa while introducing modern hybrid technology and exceptional performance. More than just a car, it represents a dream for Ferrari enthusiasts across the globe.
