296 GTB: FERRARI'S HYBRID MASTERPIECE

4.7/5

Ferrari's first series-production plug-in hybrid combines a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor to produce 819 horsepower. The 296 GTB represents a new era for Maranello, blending traditional Ferrari DNA with cutting-edge hybrid technology.

The 120° V6 architecture allows for optimal weight distribution, while the electric motor fills torque gaps for instantaneous response. On track, the 296 GTB delivers supercar performance with GT-level comfort - a remarkable achievement in automotive engineering.

Our test car featured the optional Assetto Fiorano package, which includes Multimatic shocks, carbon fiber components, and track-focused Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This transforms the 296 GTB into a genuine track weapon while maintaining daily drivability.
