The 849 Testarossa is the plug-in hybrid successor to the SF90 Stradale, featuring a rear V8. The name denotes the 8 cylinders and 49 cm³ of displacement per cylinder; "Testarossa" revives a nameplate Ferrari had already used on 1950s and 1960s racing cars such as the 250 Testarossa. It was revealed on September 9, 2025, with production slated to begin in mid-2026. The rear end recalls Ferrari's endurance prototypes of the 1970s, particularly the 1970 512S. It is available as a Coupe and Spider, along with an Assetto Fiorano package said to be 30 kg lighter.

Powertrain
The twin-turbocharged V8 with 611 kW (830 PS) is a variant of the F154 and works in conjunction with three electric motors: two mounted on the front axle and the third integrated into the transmission housing at the rear axle. Compared to its predecessor, the engine features larger turbochargers with revised turbine geometry and exhaust manifolds with a 20% larger diameter. The exhaust gases also flow through a gasoline particulate filter and one of the catalytic converters.
Body and variants
The coupe weighs 1570 kg, the Spider 1660 kg. The Spider's hardtop can be opened and closed in 14 seconds at speeds of up to 45 km/h. The rear spoiler is "active" and can, for instance, increase downforce. The Assetto Fiorano package is available for both coupe and Spider; according to Ferrari, it is 30 kg lighter than the standard version.
Classification
The name nods to 1950s Ferraris and to the 1984 Testarossa. The design adopts new styling elements from the F80, which itself takes partial inspiration from the Daytona; the rear end in particular recalls 1970s endurance prototypes, above all the 1970 512S. As a coupe, it was scheduled to go on sale in the first half of 2026, followed by the Spider in the second.
