Of the three electric motors, two are placed on the front axle while one is integrated between the engine and the gearbox.

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa accelerates from a standstill to 100 kmph in under 2.3 seconds and boasts a top speed of 330 kmph.

The exterior of the 849 Testarossa maintains a low-slung silhouette that pays homage to classic Ferrari designs through modern styling cues. Additionally, the front end is defined by L-shaped LED headlights connected by a black trim piece, sitting above a bumper with air intakes and a prominent lip. The side profile boasts large wheels and air intakes carved into the bodywork behind the doors, while the rear features high-mounted exhausts, slim lighting, and a diffuser.

The 849 Testarossa from the house of the Prancing Horse features a cabin designed with a focus on the driver, featuring a cockpit separated by a raised centre console. Not only that, but the Italian automaker has omitted a traditional central infotainment touchscreen in favour of a 16-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver and a dedicated nine-inch display for the passenger.

Moreover, the steering wheel remains the hub for physical controls, while the interior technology suite is rounded out by a seven-speaker sound system and wireless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
