Safety

The 849 Testarossa’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

The 849 Testarossa has standard head airbag curtains, which act as a forgiving barrier between the driver and outboard passenger's upper bodies and the window and pillars. Combined with high-strength steel door beams and lower side airbags this system increases head protection in broadside collisions. The Tourbillon doesn't offer side airbag protection for the head.

The 849 Testarossa has standard Automatic Emergency Braking, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether. The Tourbillon doesn't offer collision warning or crash mitigation brakes.

The 849 Testarossa’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The 849 Testarossa offers an optional 360 degree parking monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Tourbillon only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the 849 Testarossa’s standard rear cross-path warning system uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The 849 Testarossa’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the 849 Testarossa and the Tourbillon have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and rearview cameras.

Warranty

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the 849 Testarossa for 3 years and unlimited miles longer than Bugatti pays for maintenance for the Tourbillon (7/unlimited vs. 4/unlimited).

Chassis

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 750 to 950 pounds less than the Bugatti Tourbillon.

The 849 Testarossa’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

Ergonomics

The 849 Testarossa’s standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the 849 Testarossa has a standard Adaptive CruiseControl, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

With standard voice command, the 849 Testarossa offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a voice control system.

The 849 Testarossa is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the Tourbillon, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the 849 Testarossa offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the Tourbillon.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the 849 Testarossa equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The Tourbillon, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Ferrari 849 Testarossa empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

Model Availability

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Bugatti Tourbillon isn’t available as a convertible.
