Overview
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa (Type F173M) is a sports car built by Italian manufacturer Ferrari. Containing a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain, it is a successor to the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, and it takes its name from the 1950s and 1960s Ferrari racecars, such as the 250 Testarossa. According to Ferrari, the 8 of the "849" part of its name comes from its eight cylinders, and the 49 comes from the displacement of each cylinder in cubic centimeters. The car was unveiled to the public on September 9, 2025 and it entered production in the middle of 2026.
Design
The car's design recalls the new Ferrari styling elements introduced in the Ferrari F80, itself being partly inspired by the older Ferrari Daytona.

Check before you buy

- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
