The Ferrari 849 Testarossa (Type F173M) is a sports car built by Italian manufacturer Ferrari. Containing a plug-in hybridV8 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]
