Overview
- The 849 Testarossa replaces the SF90 as Ferrari’s regular-production flagship with a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8, three e‑motors and a 7.45kWh battery for roughly 1,050hp and 16–25km of e‑only range.
- Testers corroborate factory numbers including sub‑2.3sec 0–100kph, over 330kph top speed and a 1:17.5 Fiorano lap that edges the SF90 by 1.5sec.
- Ferrari’s FIVE estimator builds a real‑time digital twin to sharpen e‑AWD, torque vectoring and stability responses, resolving the SF90’s occasionally erratic front‑axle feel at the limit.
- The Assetto Fiorano pack adds up to 415kg of downforce at 250kph, trims drag by about 10 percent and cuts weight, with reviewers noting the option to pair its aero and weight savings with MagneRide.
- Critiques focus on a comparatively muted V8 soundtrack and high pricing, with India listed at Rs 10.37 crore ex‑showroom and the UK coupé from about £407,617, as Ferrari also restores physical steering‑wheel buttons.
