Ferrari 849 Testarossa Styling

This is not about ****ing cars but about showing some manners.

 

In Ferrari's history, the 849 is the fifth Testa Rossa, although the Ferrari Testa Rossa (1984) is the only one with its name written as a single word instead of the other models' two. Unlike the 849 the Testa Rossa (1984) was born to stupefy, as was clear from the very day of its unveiling, although its extreme body shape was in stark contrast to the Ferrari-Pininfarina cars that had come before. More than 40 years after its launch, the Testa Rossa lines and timeless beauty continue to impress. Although Ferrari claims that the front and rear of the 849 features volumes inspired by the Ferrari geometries of the past, the reality is that when we look at the car, we see absolutely nothing whatsoever that reminds the Testa Rossa, whose most emblematic and immediately recognizable feature is its side gills.

As with its predecessor, the SF 90, the 849 will undoubtedly remain an exceptional supercar in terms of performance, but its design, captive to maximum aerodynamic efficiency, will continue to divide. Will we be able to say in a decade that the lines of the 849 and most recent modern Ferraris are timeless? I don't think so, and as with the F80, Ferrari and its designers have put aerodynamic efficiency and performance before style and beauty.
