The blue one with the package that I can't pronounce is sick. I can't believe I'm coming around to liking and wanting this car. It so fcuking outrageous and absurd and I bet that is exactly what will sell it.

I’ve loved it from the get go. So much more of a statement than the amorphous SF90 that it replaces. It’s in line with Ferrari’s new “technical” look and a Spider with Assetto Fiorano package would park up smartly alongside my new acquisition from Yacht Buyer.

Nice rendering of what an actual testarossa follow-up could’ve been. Sorry if posted on the wrong place.

I think it provides a useful counterpoint to what people fantasise what a 21st century Testarossa ought to look like.

Personally, I find the new 849 far more interesting and progressive.

You mean the lego 849 big size car, and no v12 in a Testarossa, its not a Testarossa, we had only one in 1980s, that is REAL. Not the v8 powered lego machine.

If you have bought ever Ferrari over the past 10 years, send the photos to Ferrari and they might build that car for you at theprice of €5-20m.

Nah, I prefer them in games only, at least my empty wallet won't get hurt.

Info : Media will review the 849 TR this month.

Ferrari moving quickly. Saw they delivered first customer F80 already and now this one isn’t far off!

I am more excited about this car than the 296 Speciale. Hopefully the 489 is more visceral than the sf90 which was a mid engine 1000hp GT.

Exactly, while I see the appeal of 21st century rendition of the iconic 1980's TR, it's more appropriate as billionaire's wet dream one-off than something that supposed define the brand's design language.

As far as the 849 is concerned, I am still truly shocked how much my opinion has turned around regarding this car. My only issue still is that it should not be called a Testarossa as I have explained in an earlier post.

This Testarossa is a solid evolution, preserving the best attributes in its design of the SP3, one of the most beautiful Ferraris of the last 20 years.

Sorry, still cannot get over the looks & the muffled sound. Throughout their history, the soundtrack & "art on wheels" were Ferrari's biggest selling points...While they may have had lost the soundtrack due to regs, losing the visual appeal is ALL their doing. Too bad none of these journalists can speak objectively about Ferrari, or God forbid, they would be banned, right?

In short - I respect it, but just cannot get myself to love it!

The sound of the engine is muffled too much for a V8, its sounding more like a McLaren V8 than a proper Ferrari V8. The front of this car looks so odd with that little moustache above the lights and black strip. I kinda like the rear styling and unusual push pram spoilers but that front definitely has me scratching my head. I'm just not into this car, like I would the 296. If I was a potential owner, I would rather splash the money out on a 296 Speciale than this car.

The reviews so far have been positive, most of the journalists saying its better to drive on the track than the SF90, the AWD system been less intrusive on the front axle. The pace and gearbox have been given the most praises.
