Ferrari has unveiled its latest flagship, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa, in the Indian market. Originally revealed globally in 2025, the 849 Testarossa succeeds the SF90 Stradale while continuing the legacy of the iconic Testarossa name, which traces back to the 1950s in Ferrari’s history.
The new model is a plug-in hybrid, powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors, delivering a combined output of 1,035 hp. The internal combustion engine produces 819 hp, while the electric motors contribute an additional 217 hp. Two of the electric motors are positioned on the front axle to enable torque vectoring up to 209 km/h, and a third motor situated between the engine and transmission provides additional support at higher speeds. The 7.45 kWh battery offers an electric-only range of 24.9 km, with power directed solely to the front wheels and a top speed limited to 128.7 km/h.
Performance figures for the 849 Testarossa are impressive: the coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.2 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 6.3 seconds, while the top speed exceeds 330 km/h. The Spider variant is slightly slower due to additional weight but features the same eight-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox as the coupe. Overall, the model surpasses the performance of the SF90 XX Stradale, Ferrari’s previous hybrid flagship.

The design of the 849 Testarossa draws inspiration from 1970s sports prototypes and classic aerodynamic principles. Sharp geometric lines, a modern cab-forward profile, large side air intakes integrated into the doors, and a distinctive double-tail design pay homage to the 512 S. The front features a horizontal bridge element reminiscent of 1980s Ferraris, and while the car shares some cues with the SF90 and Daytona SP3, it stands out as a distinct creation.
Inside, Ferrari has combined nostalgic design elements with modern technology. The gear selector resembles a small gated manual shifter, and physical buttons now replace touch controls on the steering wheel. A central sail divides driver and passenger zones, each featuring digital displays for performance metrics and driving information. Buyers can choose between comfort-oriented or racing seats, depending on their preference.
With the 849 Testarossa, Ferrari continues its tradition of combining cutting-edge hybrid performance with striking design and driver-focused interiors, offering enthusiasts a supercar that balances heritage, innovation, and extreme performance.
