The Ferrari 849 Testarossa (Type F173M) is a sports car built by Italian manufacturer Ferrari. Containing a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain, it is a successor to the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, and it takes its name from the 1950s and 1960s Ferrari racecars, such as the 250 Testarossa.[1] According to Ferrari, the 8 of the "849" part of its name comes from its eight cylinders, and the 49 comes from the displacement of each cylinder in cubic centimeters.[2]
The car was unveiled to the public on September 9, 2025 and it is planned to enter production in the middle of 2026.[3]
Design
The car's design recalls the new Ferrari styling elements introduced in the Ferrari F80, itself being partly inspired by the older Ferrari Daytona.[4][5]
According to Ferrari, a major part of the car's design, especially in the rear end, was inspired by the manufacturer's 1970s endurance prototypes, more specifically by the 1970 Ferrari 512S.[6]
Variants
Spider
Aside from the baseline coupé, Ferrari is also offering a convertible variant called the 849 Testarossa Spider.
Assetto Fiorano
A performance package available for both the coupé and spider variants. It features two smaller wings like the Ferrari FXX-K and Ferrari claims it to be 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the standard version.[7]
Production
Ferrari states that the production of the 849 Testarossa will begin in the middle of 2026.
