Hardly unveiled, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa already offers a variant designed for performance enthusiasts: the Assetto Fiorano.
This optional configuration, inspired directly by Ferrari’s racing expertise, pushes the limits of the standard version by combining weight reduction, reworked aerodynamics, and an optimized chassis.
The primary goal was to reduce weight. Thanks to the extensive use of composite materials like carbon fiber and titanium, the Assetto Fiorano weighs nearly 30 kg less than the standard 849 Testarossa. The new tubular seats, upholstered in black Alcantara, alone contribute to a weight saving of about 18 kg. The 20-inch carbon wheels, for their part, reduce unsprung mass and improve the responsiveness of the chassis.
The aerodynamics have been thoroughly revised. At the front, enlarged flicks and new vortex generators under the floor ensure optimal balance. At the rear, the famous twin tails are replaced by two twin wings topped with high-incident profiles, framed by vertical endplates. The result: three times the downforce, without a significant increase in drag.
Ferrari caters to its sports clientele
On the chassis side, the engineers from Maranello have chosen fixed-rate Multimatic dampers, 35% lighter springs, and a 10% reduction in body roll, ensuring better chassis control and increased aerodynamic efficiency. The most demanding buyers can also opt for the front lift option, compatible with the semi-active Magneride suspension. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires, developed for this version, complete the setup and promise maximum grip on both road and track.

Finally, the Assetto Fiorano also attends to its style. Two exclusive liveries are offered, featuring a dual longitudinal stripe pattern with a modern gradient, crossing the hood, roof, and rear. A visual signature that emphasizes the radical spirit of this variant.
With the Assetto Fiorano, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa adopts an even sharper character, ready to attract those who want to delve a little deeper into the Cavallino Rampante experience, and who have the means to do so.
