From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] 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.[2]
