Ferrari Unveils the 849 Testarossa in Sydney: A Bold New
Chapter in Hybrid Performance
Ferrari Sydney hosted guests at the Australian debut event
on October 10th, marking the regional launch of the Ferrari 849
Testarossa, the brand’s most powerful series-production model to date. Held
just weeks after its global debut in Milan, the Sydney reveal brought together
Ferrari clients, enthusiasts, and media for a first look at the marque’s latest
plug-in hybrid supercar.
The 849 Testarossa, available in Coupe and
Spider variants, combines a re-engineered twin-turbo
V8 with three electric motors, delivering a staggering 1,050
horsepower and a top speed of 330 km/h. Acceleration figures are
equally impressive, with 0–100 km/h achieved in just 2.3 seconds
Reviving the legendary Testarossa name, the new model
blends Ferrari’s racing heritage with cutting-edge technology,
including ABS Evo, FIVE (Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator), and
active aerodynamics. The hybrid system allows for short-range electric driving,
though the car’s true purpose is high-performance motoring.
The Sydney launch underscored Ferrari’s commitment to
innovation and exclusivity, offering guests a glimpse into the future of
high-performance luxury.
Following the regional launch, Ferrari Sydney hosted a
series of viewings within the showroom, giving clients the opportunity to
experience the 849 Testarossa up close in an intimate setting. These exclusive
appointments allowed guests to explore the vehicle’s design, technology, and
performance capabilities in detail, guided by Ferrari product specialists.
