The 849 Testarossa, the new Ferrari plug-in hybrid berlinetta with a mid-rear V8 twin-turbo engine further elevates the performance heights of the SF90 Stradale.
The 849 Testarossa takes its place at the top of Ferrari’s range thanks to its performance, its ability to thrill the driver without ever compromising ride comfort or interior refinement, as well as its futuristic yet deeply historically rooted design. The 849 Testarossa was developed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, directed by Flavio Manzoni, revolutionising the shape of the SF90 Stradale and emphasising the car’s technological and performance characteristics.
The flank is dominated by the door with a three-dimensional modelling which starts from the main crease line. The sculpted rear bumper underlines the car’s sporty stance, emphasising the width, while the central section is characterized by the modelling around the iconic round tailpipes. The tail is completed by a full-width diffuser, which is very pronounced in the centre, and which enhances the sense of extreme performance.
The 849 Testarossa is equipped with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system consisting of the 3.9litre twin-turbo V8 engine combined with three electric motors, a high-voltage battery, and an inverter that together deliver a total output of 158kW. This system brings the total power of the powertrain up to 761kW, an absolute record for a production Ferrari. The architecture of the 849 Testarossa's plug-in hybrid powertrain has been designed to ensure maximum performance, vehicle dynamics, and usability. Top speed is claimed at 330km/h with the 0-100km/h sprint done in 2.3 seconds, the 0-200km/h sprint is done in 6.35 seconds.
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 upper body of the dashboard features a floating effect with 'C'-shaped air vents framed in aluminium. Between the upper and lower parts there is a contrasting horizontal band that integrates the main controls and the passenger screen. The lower part of the dash is characterized by two architectural sail motifs that incorporate the control functions, with the F80-inspired gate integrated in a floating position in the sail on the steering wheel side.
The seats are available in two versions: comfort, with a sculptural treatment of the upholstery and styling that matches the geometry of the cockpit, and a carbon-fibre racing seat, with sporty side bolsters for ideal lateral containment. Both versions are the result of a combined study of ergonomics and style.
