Ferrari Launches 849 Testarossa in India as New Electrified Flagship

The launch underscores Ferrari's deeper focus on India's expanding luxury-car market with a plug-in hybrid halo priced at Rs 10.37 crore.

Overview

  • Ferrari unveiled the 849 Testarossa at Mumbai’s Jio Convention Centre, with CEO Benedetto Vigna leading the India debut.
  • The plug-in hybrid pairs a reworked 4.0-litre twin‑turbo V8 with three electric motors for about 1,050 hp, claiming 0–100 km/h in 2.25 seconds and a 330 km/h top speed.
  • India pricing starts at Rs 10.37 crore ex-showroom, bookings are open, and initial deliveries are expected in the second half of 2026.
  • The model replaces the SF90 Stradale, bringing retro-inspired cues like a visor-like LED front element and a twin-tail rear with active aerodynamics plus a driver-focused cabin with a 16-inch display.
  • Ferrari framed the debut as part of a broader India push that includes expanded customer support and service, with rivals set to include the Lamborghini Revuelto and an EV-only range of up to 25 km from a 7.45 kWh battery.
