Record-Breaking Performance of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa

This Ferrari plug-in hybrid configuration enables breathtaking acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 330 km/h.
All-wheel drive is managed by the RAC-e system, which optimizes torque distribution across the wheels and ensures impeccable dynamic behavior in every driving condition. The combination of the combustion engine and electric motors guarantees maximum efficiency on both road and track, making the 849 Testarossa one of the most advanced hybrid Ferrari supercars.
Iconic and Innovative Design

The interior offers a highly technological and customizable cockpit, with digital displays for both driver and passenger, physical controls on the steering wheel, and premium materials. The onboard experience combines luxury, sportiness, and comfort, reflecting Ferrari’s commitment to artisanal excellence.
