The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider is an open-air hybrid supercar powered by a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors producing 1,036 horsepower, featuring all-wheel drive and a retractable hard top.
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider exists because some Ferraris are meant to be experienced without a roof. As the open-air counterpart to the Testarossa coupe, it brings Ferrari’s most advanced hybrid performance into a Spider configuration—combining electrified power with a driving experience defined by freedom rather than restraint. With the sky above and the road fully present, the Spider delivers a more visceral connection to speed, sound, and sensation.
The Testarossa Spider is a name whispered among Ferrari collectors and connoisseurs. Unlike the widely celebrated coupe, the original Testarossa Spider debuted in 1990 as a one-off commission for Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli—an icon of Italian industry and style. Only a handful of additional Spiders were produced for select VIPs and special markets in the early 1990s, making them some of the rarest and most coveted Ferraris ever built.
Reviving the Testarossa Spider name for the hybrid era is more than a nod to history. It’s a celebration of Ferrari’s passion for freedom, innovation, and rarity—now electrified for a new generation. The 849 Testarossa Spider channels that spirit, offering the breathtaking performance of Ferrari’s most advanced hybrid, now with the visceral thrill and sensory connection that only a true Spider can deliver.
For those who demand more than just speed—for those who want the wind, the sky, and the unmistakable sound of a Ferrari V8—this is the next chapter in open-top legend.
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider redefines modern performance with over 1,000 hybrid-assisted horsepower, breathtaking aerodynamics, and unmistakable Ferrari style.
The SF90 Spider proved that hybrid performance could exist without a fixed roof. The 849 Testarossa Spider proves it can feel natural.
Rather than adapting a coupe for open-air use, Ferrari engineered the Testarossa Spider to preserve composure, stiffness, and balance with the roof down. Throttle response, steering feedback, and chassis confidence remain intact — even as the driving experience becomes more immersive and emotional.
This is not just a Spider version of a supercar. It’s a performance-first open-air Ferrari designed for drivers who want exposure to the elements without sacrificing control, stability, or confidence at speed.
The comparison below details the structural and mechanical refinements that allow the Testarossa Spider to deliver open-sky exhilaration without compromise.

The 849 Testarossa Spider’s internal combustion engine is the latest version of Ferrari’s multi-award-winning twin-turbo V8: it produces 830 cv, 50 cv more than the SF90 Spider, with a specific output of 208 cv/l. The engine displacement has been maintained however: the components have instead been completely revised.
The 849 Testarossa Spider adopts a plug-in hybrid architecture derived from the SF90 Spider that combines the V8 engine with three electric motors capable of delivering a maximum of 220 cv. Two of them, located on the front axle, make up the RAC-e (electronic cornering set-up regulator) system which can activate the 4WD system and torque vectoring which maximise traction and efficiency when exiting corners. The third, which is instead positioned on the rear axle, is called MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit, Kinetic) and derives directly from the Scuderia’s unmatched experience in Formula 1.
The sound in the cockpit of the new 849 Testarossa Spider is powerful and exciting. The car introduces a new sonic dimension: the new gear shift strategy, inherited from the SF90 XX Spider, has been revised to generate an even more exciting sound during upshifts and high-performance driving.

The 849 Testarossa Spider took the SF90 Spider as a reference, focusing on increasing power, tyre grip and response, the efficiency of the braking system and the evolution of electronic controls through the brand-new Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator (FIVE) digital system.
The increase in lateral performance compared to the SF90 Spider is considerable, thanks to the new tyres and specific setup, which also brought a 35% reduction in the weight of the road springs. The roll has been reduced by 10%, maximising aerodynamic benefits and dynamic camber.
The increase in longitudinal acceleration achieved in third gear is the combined result of the improved weight to power ratio, the increase in performance of the combustion engine at high revs and the dedicated shaping of the overall power delivery. This improvement was achieved without compromising low-end response.
The front underfloor, responsible for 35% of the total downforce, has been completely redesigned: three pairs of cascading vortex generators maximise outwash and intake, guaranteeing a 20% increase in downforce compared to the SF90 Spider. The excavation upstream of the side louvres and the relative nolder contribute to the extraction of the hot flow from the front compartment and reduce the compression on the front face of the tyre, decreasing drag.
The front air intake has been enlarged by 18% to maximize the air flow to the radiating masses. The front brake air intake is integrated into the upper part of the duct separated by a horizontal section. The internal vertical baffles prevent the mixing of flows, contributing to the structural rigidity of the bumper, while the fairing of the parking sensor allows the flow to be channelled towards the brake intake and radiator.
The rear adopts a twin-tail architecture inspired by the 512 S, with two spoilers (called twin tail) that exploit the high-energy flow that laps the top of the muscular rear wheelarches to generate 10% of the downforce at the rear. The active rear spoiler, derived from that of the SF90 Stradale and the 296 GTB, is integrated into the bodywork and actioned by a kinematic solution that is 2 kg lighter. It is capable of switching between Low Drag and High Downforce configurations in less than a second. In High Downforce configuration, it helps to generate up to 100 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, working in synergy with the passive elements of the tail.
The wind stop, on the other hand, is a patented system that, in the open-roof configuration, captures the incoming airflow above the side window through air intakes integrated into the bench and releases it into the seat’s floorpan area via two small lower vents. Thanks to this system, the disturbance generated by the high-energy flow in the upper part of the cabin and tunnel is reduced, ensuring improved comfort for the occupants.
The rear underbody adopts a multi-level diffuser with a suspended lower element and vertical fences that allow the wheel wake to be isolated. A pair of vortex generators with an oversized chord maximizes expansion at the height of the rear axle. The downforce generated by the rear underfloor is aligned with that of the SF90 Spider, with a 10% reduction in drag.
The steering wheel integrates digital and analogue functions: the mechanical controls already seen on the F80 have been carried over, including the iconic Engine Start button, while the digital cluster allows the rapid reconfiguration of the electric driving modes, via the eManettino.
Developed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 849 Testarossa Spider revolutionises the shape of the SF90 Spider and emphasises the car’s technological and performance characteristics.
The front has volumes that recall Ferrari geometries from the past, while the rear is dominated by the two tails inspired by the 512 S.
The 849 Testarossa Spider incorporates all the experience Ferrari has gained with retractable hardtop (RHT) technology. With the roof closed, the car maintains the volumes of the 849 Testarossa; when open, the rear section stands out for its iconic and powerful forms. In the 849 Testarossa Spider the double-tail architecture becomes the absolute star, making the overall design unique.
The interior of the 849 Testarossa Spider is a synthesis between the layout of a berlinetta with a horizontal dashboard and the cockpit of a single-seater. The interior design instead sets out to optimise space and improve ergonomics.
