Ferrari on Tuesday unveiled the 849 Testarossa, a plug-in hybrid supercar that pays homage to the legendary 1980s Testarossa. The launch, held in Milan, marks the completion of Ferrari’s refreshed hybrid range and introduces a new flagship model to replace the 2019 SF90 Stradale.
The new Testarossa will be offered in both a coupe and a retractable-top spider version. It features a mid-rear mounted 4.0-liter V8 turbo engine delivering 830 horsepower, combined with three electric motors that boost total output to 1,050 HP—50 more than the SF90 Stradale. Ferrari says the car will exceed 330 km/h (205 mph) in top speed.
Pricing starts at €460,000 ($540,000) for the coupe and €500,000 for the spider. First deliveries in Europe are scheduled for the second and third quarters of next year, with U.S. clients receiving theirs about three months later at higher prices due to import tariffs.
The launch comes as Ferrari, under CEO Benedetto Vigna, pushes ahead with new releases while preparing to showcase its first all-electric vehicle next month. That EV will be part of a three-stage reveal process culminating in a world premiere next spring. While this marks a significant shift from Ferrari’s petrol-engine tradition, Vigna has confirmed the brand will continue producing petrol, hybrid, and electric cars.
Earlier this year, Ferrari introduced the 296 Speciale and its convertible variant, based on the 2021 Ferrari 296. In July, it also unveiled the Amalfi coupe, a petrol-powered successor to the 2019 Roma, reinforcing the brand’s aggressive model rollout strategy.
