POWERTRAIN
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 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 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.
DESIGN
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.

AERODYNAMICS
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 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.
