♔ Full Story — Testarossa 2.0: A Hybrid With Bite
 
◼︎ When Ferrari drops a name like Testarossa into the catalogue after decades, you listen — and jaw simultaneously drops.
 
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa isn’t a nostalgia act, nor a facsimile of the ’80s poster icon: it’s a cutting-edge, hybrid-powered supercar built for the now, not the memory lane.
 
◼︎ Underneath that tensioned, dramatically sculpted body sits a newly developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 teamed with three electric motors, yielding around 1,036 bhp — making it the fiercest road-going Ferrari hybrid yet.
 
Electrification isn’t there to tick boxes; it sharpens torque delivery, enables brief all-electric travel and yet keeps that multi-cylinder heartbeat unmistakably Ferrari.
 
◼︎ Performance figures are as serious as the name: sprinting to 62 mph in about 2.3 seconds and topping well over 205 mph.
 
The range extends beyond the standard Berlinetta to include a Spider variant—a retractable hardtop that combines topless freedom with uncompromising performance.
 
Designers have drawn inspiration from both 1970s endurance racers and current Ferrari supercars, resulting in sharper lines and improved aerodynamic efficiency.
 
📍 ‘In essence, the 849 Testarossa isn’t just a successor to the SF90: it’s a statement — a hybrid that honours heritage while blasting firmly into the future.’
