Ferrari 849 Testarossa Launched in India: 1,050hp Hybrid Priced at Rs 10.37 Crore
Ferrari has officially re-introduced the legendary “Testarossa” nameplate to the Indian market with the debut of the 849 Testarossa. This new-age plug-in hybrid (PHEV) succeeds the SF90 Stradale, pushing the boundaries of series-production performance while blending retro-inspired aesthetics with cutting-edge aerodynamics.
Performance and Powertrain
The 849 Testarossa utilizes a highly evolved version of Ferrari’s twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a triple-motor hybrid system.

| Combined Power Output | 1,050 hp |
| Peak Torque | 900 Nm+ |

Design and Aerodynamics
The design language is a tribute to the 1980s icon but built for 2026 efficiency. Key highlights include:
- The “Twin-Tail” Rear: An active aerodynamic panel that optimizes downforce without the need for a traditional fixed wing.
- Retro Lighting: L-shaped LED headlights that mirror the silhouette of the original pop-up units.
- Thermal Management: Massive side intakes designed specifically to cool the mid-mounted V8 and the high-performance battery pack.
Driver-Centric Interior
Following feedback from the SF90 and 296 GTB, Ferrari has returned to physical controls on the steering wheel, replacing the previous haptic-only interface.
- Curved Display: A 16-inch driver-centric digital cluster replaces the traditional infotainment screen.
- Passenger Display: An optional 9-inch unit allows the passenger to view real-time performance data and navigation.
- Material Quality: Extensive use of carbon fiber and Alcantara with a focus on weight reduction.
Pricing and Availability
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa is priced from Rs 10.37 Crore (ex-showroom).
With its plug-in hybrid architecture, it competes directly with the Lamborghini Revuelto. Bookings are currently open through Ferrari’s official dealerships in Mumbai and New Delhi, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
