The Ferrari 849 Testarossa exists because some names demand more than revival. This hybrid supercar is powered by a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors producing 1,036 horsepower, with all-wheel drive and Ferrari’s most advanced performance architecture to date.
The 849 Testarossa blends electrified precision with unmistakable Ferrari character—engineered not just to be faster, but to feel more deliberate, more composed, and more rewarding at every moment behind the wheel.
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa redefines modern performance with over 1,000 hybrid-assisted horsepower, breathtaking aerodynamics, and unmistakable Ferrari style.
The SF90 Stradale introduced Ferrari’s hybrid era. The 849 Testarossa refines it.

The 849 Testarossa’s internal combustion engine is the latest version of Ferrari’s multi-award-winning twin-turbo V8: it produces 830 cv, a 50 cv increase compared to the previous iteration, with a specific output of 208 cv/l. This achievement was made while maintaining the same displacement and completely revising the components.
The 849 Testarossa adopts a PHEV architecture derived from the SF90 Stradale, combining the V8 internal combustion engine with three electric motors for a total power of 220 cv. Two are located on the front axle and make up the RAC-e (electronic cornering set-up regulator) system which enables the 4WD system and torque vectoring to maximise traction and efficiency when exiting corners. The third electric motor, the MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit, Kinetic), is positioned on the rear axle and derives directly from the Scuderia’s experience in Formula 1.
The sound in the cockpit of the new top-of-the-range model is powerful and exciting. The 849 Testarossa also introduces a new sonic dimension: the new gear shift strategy, inherited from the SF90 XX Stradale, has been revised to generate an even more exciting sound during upshifts in press-on driving.

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa took the SF90 Stradale as a reference, focusing on increasing power, tyre grip and response, the efficiency of the braking system and the evolution of electronic controls through the brand-new Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator (FIVE) digital system.
The increase in lateral performance compared to the SF90 Stradale is considerable, thanks to the new tyres and specific setup, which also brought a 35% reduction in the weight of the road springs. The roll has been reduced by 10%, maximising aerodynamic benefits and dynamic camber.
The increase in longitudinal acceleration achieved in third gear is the combined result of the improved weight to power ratio, the increase in performance of the combustion engine at high revs and the dedicated shaping of the overall power delivery. This improvement was achieved without compromising low-end response.
The front underfloor, responsible for 35% of the total downforce, has been completely redesigned: three pairs of cascading vortex generators maximise outwash and intake, guaranteeing a 20% increase in downforce compared to the SF90 Stradale. The excavation upstream of the side louvres and the relative nolder contribute to the extraction of the hot flow from the front compartment and reduce the compression on the front face of the tyre, decreasing drag.
The front air intake has been enlarged by 18% to maximize the air flow to the radiating masses. The front brake air intake is integrated into the upper part of the duct separated by a horizontal section. The internal vertical baffles prevent the mixing of flows, contributing to the structural rigidity of the bumper, while the fairing of the parking sensor allows the flow to be channelled towards the brake intake and radiator.
The air vents on the wheelarches and underfloor have been repositioned and optimized: a vortex generator favours extraction from the central louvres, while a nolder maximizes the flow from the side louvres. At the rear, three slots on the side trim and a vent on the bumper exploit the depression of the car wake to increase the extraction of air from the engine compartment. The rear wheelarch, inspired by that of the Ferrari Purosangue, contributes to evacuation of high-pressure air in the wheel housing and drag reduction.
The steering wheel integrates digital and analogue functions: the mechanical controls already seen on the F80 have been carried over, including the iconic Engine Start button, while the digital cluster allows the rapid reconfiguration of the electric driving modes, via the eManettino.
Developed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 849 Testarossa revolutionises the shape of the SF90 Stradale and emphasises the car’s technological and performance characteristics.
The front has volumes that recall Ferrari geometries from the past, while the rear is dominated by the two tails inspired by the 512 S.
The interior of the 849 Testarossa is a synthesis between the layout of a berlinetta with a horizontal dashboard and the cockpit of a single-seater. The interior design instead sets out to optimise space and improve ergonomics.
The Assetto Fiorano specification provides for an overall weight reduction of about 30 kg, obtained thanks to the extensive use of composite materials such as carbon fibre and titanium.
The Assetto Fiorano specification can be completed with an exclusive livery available in two colour variants, Bianco Cervino and Rosso Corsa.
From an aerodynamic point of view, substantial changes concern the front, characterised by larger flicks, and the front underfloor is equipped with an additional pair of vortex generators, and the rear with twin wings, spoilers surmounted by high-incidence aerodynamic profiles, set between two vertical endplates, inspired by the 512 M and the Ferrari FXXK.
