I recall reading in the official statement from Ferrari that said the design was inspired by their sports prototypes from the 70s, like the 512. Don't get me wrong, something like the 512 looks great, but if that's where they're coming from design-wise, why call it the Testarossa? That is, unless it's a cash-grab based on the name alone. Maybe Ferrari has less integrity than I thought. I agree with what someone else said - the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 from 2022 was a vastly superior execution when it came to remaking an 80s icon. I'd say something similar of the new 2023 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale when it comes to Italian remakes. Literally every other recent design remake looks better, like the new Renault 5 Turbo 3E - I really could go on. Seriously, I know that they dropped Pininfarina around the mid-2010s, but I didn't know it'd get this bad. The only "testarossa" here is my face turning red with embarrassment and disappointment. Honestly, the 849 makes the SF90 look like the 458.
EDIT: That said, I do think the best-looking Ferrari from the post-Pininfarina period has been either the LaFerrari, the 296, the SF90, and maybe the Roma and Purosangue as well. Otherwise, I honestly feel like nothing else has come even remotely close to those, with the F80 being pretty egregious. And the Amalfi is a joke. They took what I thought was an amazing front fascia and made it look like the new Honda Prelude, which in itself does look great, but not something I'd expect from a Ferrari. Plus the other differences between the Amalfi and the Roma seem a bit too subtle.
EDIT2: Alright, I've cooled off a bit. I suppose the more iconic Testarossa from the 80s doesn't really look that much like the 250 Testarossa that preceded it, so I suppose there is a precedent for using the Testarossa name for seemingly unrelated cars for heritage's sake. I also admit that I do see the resemblance to 1970s sports prototypes, so perhaps I overreacted. I'm still disgusted with the Amalfi, though.
