The Ferrari 849 Testarossa: Modern cars always go back to vintage chapters.
Some names carry a story before the engine even starts. For Ferrari, Testarossa is one of them.
Its roots go back to 1956, when the Testarossa name referred to the red cam covers of Ferrari’s racing engines. In 1984, the road-going Testarossa gave that name a new edgy identity, becoming one of the brand’s most recognizable cars.
Today, the 849 Testarossa opens another perspective. Its innovation lies in how it brings Ferrari’s heritage into the modern day. A twin-turbo V8 works alongside three electric motors, combining the appeal of a combustion engine with the responsiveness of electric power.
That reinterpretation of past and future evolves in its design, inspired by Ferrari’s racing cars of the 1970s; its sharp, sculpted lines do more than catch the eye: they guide air to help keep the car stable and its components cool. Inside, a cockpit shaped around the driver brings essential controls within easy reach, with physical steering-wheel buttons adding a familiar feeling.
You don’t need to know every specification to appreciate the story. The 849 Testarossa expresses how Ferrari continues to move forward while carrying its history with it.
Whether you know the story, like the edginess, or recognize the name, our demo car has arrived at Ferrari of Tampa Bay. Come by the showroom, explore the features, and see the new style for yourself.
