Iconic Testarossa nameplate returns

Ferrari brings back badge for 1,035bhp plug-in hybrid 849 Berlinetta and Spider
ONE of the most iconic nameplates in Ferrari's history is making a return in the shape of the new 849 Testarossa.
In Ferrari's stable of mid-engined supercars, the 849 Testarossa sits below the flagship, limited-run F80 and above the 296 GTB - acting as a successor to the SF90. As with all of those models, the 849 Testarossa has a plugin hybrid powertrain, which Ferrari says has been “completely re-engineered” compared with the unit used in the SF90.
The 849 Testarossa is expected to go on sale sometime in 2026 with two versions: the Berlinetta coupé and the drop-top Spider. Pricing is yet to be revealed, but we expect it should comfortably eclipse the £376,000 and £418,000 Ferrari charged for the SF90 and SF90 Spider respectively.
Using a plugin hybrid system derived from the SF90's, the 849 Testarossa's output combined with its V8 engine sits at 1,035bhp, 48bhp more than the SF90. The twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 alone produces 818bhp – more than twice the original Ferrari Testarossa's 390bhp output. Torque stands at 842Nm - significantly more than the original's 490Nm.
