About the Ferrari 849 Testarossa

Ferrari has introduced the 849 Testarossa, its bold new plug-in hybrid performance car, which steps in for the SF90. Despite a lot of new engineering, it’s still built around the same core layout: a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 enhanced with three electric motors (one driving the rear, two driving the front wheels), delivering all-wheel drive and torque vectoring. The electric side of things is supported by a battery of around 7.45 kWh, giving approximately 217 bhp from the electric motors.

Under the bonnet, Ferrari has made substantial upgrades: larger low-friction turbochargers, upgraded intercoolers, new cylinder heads, a reinforced block, revised intake plenums, valvetrain changes, and a beefier fuel rail. Some components are borrowed from their F80 programme and the 296 GT3, including lighter fasteners, helping keep weight roughly the same as the outgoing SF90 even with the added hardware.

Performance is formidable: 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in about 2.25 seconds, reaching 0-124 mph in 6.3 seconds. On the Fiorano track, it has posted a lap time around 1 minute 17.5 seconds — about 1.5 seconds quicker than the SF90 and not far off the more track-focused SF90 XX.

Visually, the 849 Testarossa is more aggressive and expressive than its predecessor. It manages to nod to past Ferrari silhouettes (think 308, Daytona) without becoming a pastiche. The front end features split-level aero details; there are extensive cooling ducts on the side, deeper channels feeding the intercoolers, and the rear is dominated by twin-tail arches, static winglets, and an active central section that adjusts for higher downforce. At high speed (around 155 mph), it generates about 415 kg of downforce.

Ferrari hasn’t forgotten usability: the car supports an electric-only driving mode good for roughly 25 km of range, plus various driving modes from relaxed to full power. Tech systems include advanced torque vectoring, updated ABS, traction control enhancements, steering upgrades, and “Side Slip Control” version 9.0, all working together to harness over 1,000 bhp while remaining driveable.

There’s an even more extreme specification, called the Assetto Fiorano, which involves more extensive aerodynamic tweaks, greater use of carbon fibre, lighter seats, stiffer suspension, special tyres, and about 30 kg of weight savings. It adds a considerable cost on top of the base car. Depending on which version you choose (coupe or spider) prices run into the hundreds of thousands of euros in Europe.
