Get your bank managers on the phone, folks: we have local pricing for the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa. Yes, we now know what the SF90’s replacement – which revives the iconic Testarossa badge and is set to be available in both Coupé and Spider form – will cost in South Africa.
Thanks to our astute colleagues over at duoporta.com, we can confirm the 849 Testarossa Coupé will be priced from R12 350 000, while the 849 Testarossa Spider will come in from R13 550 000 (with the latter thus commanding a significant R1.2-million premium).
As a reminder, the 849 Testarossa – which the Maranello-based brand unveiled as recently as September 2025 – comes equipped with a trio of electric motors (2 at the front and a single unit at the rear) alongside a mid-rear-mounted twin-turbo V8 petrol engine (the latter spinning to 8 300 rpm).
This plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) set-up (with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission) boasts a whopping total system power output of 772 kW (up from the SF90’s peak of 735 kW), with the 4.0-litre petrol mill (F154FC) bringing 610 kW and 842 Nm to the party. Meanwhile, a 7.45 kWh lithium-ion battery installed in the chassis offers a claimed all-electric range of 25 km.
According to Ferrari, both the Coupé and Spider versions of the 849 Testarossa can complete the obligatory 0-100 kph sprint in a mere 2.3 seconds, before topping out at over 330 kph. While the hard-top derivative reaches 200 kph from standstill in a listed 6.35 seconds, the open-air variant takes a claimed 6.5 seconds.
The 849 Testarossa Spider features a retractable hard top, which allows the driver to open and close the roof in 14.0 seconds at speeds up to 45 kph. This derivative furthermore features a “wind stop” that has been patented by the Prancing Horse brand. In the open-roof configuration, the wind stop captures incoming air above the side window through intakes integrated into the bench and releases it into the seat’s floorpan area via 2 small vents.
