Ferrari unveiled the new 849 Testarossa at Yas Links Golf Club, Abu Dhabi, alongside the F1 season finale.
The Casa Ferrari event brought together guests and Ferraristi to experience first-hand the new model, which replaces the SF90 Stradale in the range. The car is a hybrid plug-in super sports Berlinetta equipped with three electric motors alongside the mid-rear twin-turbo V8, delivering a total of 1,050cv.
The 849 Testarossa takes its place at the top of Ferrari’s range thanks to its performance, its ability to thrill the driver without ever compromising ride comfort or interior refinement, as well as its futuristic yet deeply historically rooted design.
The heart of the car revolves around its twin-turbo, eight-cylinder internal combustion engine, part of the family of engines that have received multiple International Engine of the Year awards.
When it comes to prominent innovations, the new turbo, the largest ever for a Ferrari production car, enables unprecedented acceleration. The hybrid group, consisting of a rear electric motor and two units installed on the front axle, is capable of delivering 220cv.
The vehicle’s dynamics have been developed with the aim of improving absolute performance, consistency and accessibility, while maintaining a high level of driving pleasure.
The exterior reflects an architectural and futuristic direction, with a balance between sculptural forms and graphic elements, matched with an interior designed to optimise space and improve ergonomics.
The Casa Ferrari is an annual event held in Abu Dhabi during the F1 GP weekend. A temporary luxury hospitality and entertainment venue, its villa design mirrors the concept of its title – Casa, meaning house in Italian – and serves as a home for the region’s Ferraristi community.
