The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider introduces a new generation of plug-in hybrid spiders, designed to deliver high performance and engaging open-air driving. The “Testarossa” name draws on a 70-year heritage, now reinterpreted with advanced technology and a design that balances function and style. Its hybrid architecture pairs a mid-rear twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for a total output of 1,050 cv, while maintaining interior comfort and refinement.
The retractable hard top (RHT) opens in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 45 km/h, allowing drivers to enjoy Ferrari performance in any condition. The optional Assetto Fiorano package, aimed at those seeking maximum dynamic performance and reduced weight, features dedicated suspension, lightweight materials and enhanced aerodynamic solutions.
The 849 Testarossa Spider stands at the top of Ferrari’s open-top range, supported by a seven-year maintenance programme and extended hybrid warranties, reflecting a commitment to reliability and long-term value.
The 849 Testarossa Spider advances Ferrari’s design language with sharp lines and functional aerodynamic solutions. The front features a bridge-like fascia linking the headlamps, while the twin-tail rear and sculpted doors optimise airflow to intercoolers and brakes. The retractable hard top maintains the coupé’s volumes and, when open, highlights the double tail and powerful rear forms. The active rear spoiler is seamlessly integrated, adjusting downforce to suit different driving conditions. Forged wheels with aerodynamic spokes further enhance efficiency. Inside, a horizontal dashboard is combined with single-seater-inspired details, such as the floating gated selector and a steering wheel with mechanical controls. The new-generation HMI, Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto® connectivity and wireless charging improve the onboard experience. Seats are available in comfort or carbon-fibre racing versions, while optimised packaging ensures ergonomics and practicality without compromising the car’s sporting identity.
The 849 Testarossa Spider incorporates technical solutions derived from Ferrari’s motorsport expertise. The 830 cv twin-turbo V8 works in synergy with three electric motors to provide all-wheel drive and immediate response. The 7.45 kWh battery enables up to 25 km of pure electric driving, while Hybrid, Performance and Qualify modes adapt the car to any scenario. The Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator (FIVE) optimises dynamic controls in real time, enhancing braking precision with ABS Evo. Active aerodynamics generate up to 415 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, supported by improved cooling and an advanced braking system. The optional Assetto Fiorano package reduces overall weight and introduces dedicated components for more dynamic use, including specific suspension and high-performance tyres. Advanced ADAS systems complete the package, offering discreet assistance and safety without compromising driving enjoyment.
