Driving the 1050hp Ferrari 849 Testarossa in the WET – Terrifying OR Amazing ?

Can a car be too powerful? I had the Anglesea Circuit and a 1050hp Ferrari 849 Testarossa for the day to find out. To make it a lot more interesting it drizzled! Can you actually use the performance and what occurs when you turn whatever off?!

Substantial thanks to my mate Patrick from Torquemore for filming and producing this film.

    Astonishing set of options. Awesome car to be fair. Not for me. Too leery (and I don’t have Β£600k…). As for you being cursed … you’re in Anglesey. You’re shocked by rain? I went on hols there as a kid for almost a decade. Rains. All. The. Time.

    Great video as always Ped , you lucky fella. Unfortunately though , those two little spoilers/wings on the rear remind me of the handles on our wheelie bins , and we do have a blue wheelie bin! Keep up the great content!

    Love the 849!!! Gorgeous amazing machine!! I drove one monts ago, and really like the car but was a quickly drive, but a few days ago I had the opportunity to test drive a client’s 849 for a good time, and he had remapped and installed an exhaust system on it! He even removed the electronic limiter during the remap, and with the sound of the straight exhaust, I didn’t think I would like this car as much as I did! Great content as always!

    Great video but. Personally i just do not like some of design direction Ferrari is going. This stupid little wings at the back. Those stupid little lips at the front and that stupid solid vertical black slab. When will Ferrari make something achingly elegant like they used to with a modern flair. I wonder what it would look like with out all those stupid wings and lips on it.

      Those wings are classic, from the 70s they are not new from Ferrari, and the new cars are gorgeous!!

    I know I don’t have the skills to drive this car to the level it deserves. My only experience of this and many cars is vicariously through your videos. Thanks for bringing us along.

    The pictures don’t do this car justice. I was kindly invited to the 849 launch at Ferrari Nottingham and in person up close it’s awesome.

    nice looking car, out of my current price range, and i feel i would run out of talent way before the car did, but what a fun day and track to have to yourself
