Ferrari has officially launched its latest flagship supercar, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa, in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹10.37 crore. This launch represents a major milestone for the luxury performance car segment in the country, bringing back one of Ferrari’s most iconic nameplates with modern hybrid technology and extreme performance capabilities.
The 849 Testarossa revives the legendary Testarossa name, blending Ferrari’s rich heritage with cutting-edge engineering. Positioned as the brand’s new flagship offering, it replaces the SF90 Stradale and now sits at the top of Ferrari’s India lineup. The model is aimed at ultra-high-net-worth buyers who seek exclusivity, advanced technology, and track-level performance in a road-legal supercar.
Powering the Ferrari 849 Testarossa is a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system that combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine with three electric motors. This setup delivers a combined output of around 1,050 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful Ferraris ever produced. The supercar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2.3 seconds and reach a top speed of approximately 330 km/h. Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, while a small battery pack allows short-distance electric-only driving.
In terms of design, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa features a bold and aggressive stance inspired by Ferrari’s classic race cars. The low-slung body, wide proportions, and sculpted aerodynamic elements give it a commanding road presence. Subtle retro influences pay homage to the original Testarossa, while modern lighting elements and advanced aerodynamics ensure peak performance and efficiency.
Inside, the cabin is designed around the driver, offering a race-focused yet luxurious environment. A fully digital instrument cluster dominates the dashboard, complemented by a minimalist layout and a tall centre console. Premium materials, advanced connectivity features, and optional track-oriented seats further enhance the driving experience, ensuring both comfort and performance.
