Ferrari has never been afraid to reinvent itself. Yet every time it embraces the future, it does so without losing its soul. The Ferrari 296 GTB is the perfect embodiment of that balance—a plug-in hybrid supercar that still feels as pure and thrilling as the classic Ferraris of old.
Rewriting the Ferrari Formula
For decades, Ferrari’s mid-engine lineup was powered by V8s. The 296 GTB breaks that tradition with a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor. Together, they deliver an astonishing 819 horsepower (663 hp from the V6 and 167 hp from the e-motor).
It’s Ferrari’s first six-cylinder road car since the Dino—and yet, it’s faster and more responsive than many V12s. The 296 GTB sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and hits 330 km/h flat out.
Hybrid, But Make It Pure
Ferrari didn’t create the 296 GTB to chase fuel efficiency. They designed it to redefine performance. The hybrid system acts as an enhancer, not a crutch—delivering instant torque and razor-sharp throttle response.
Drivers can choose between eDrive mode for quiet urban cruising and Performance mode, where the V6 and electric motor unite in symphony. The result? A car that feels like a naturally aspirated engine reborn for the future.
Design: Compact Beauty
The 296 GTB is one of Ferrari’s most beautiful modern designs. Compact, sculpted, and clean, it harks back to the 1960s Berlinetta style. The proportions are tighter, more athletic, with a rear inspired by the 250 LM.
Ferrari’s designers at the Centro Stile focused on purity. The air intakes are neatly integrated into the body, while the Kamm tail gives it aerodynamic stability without a massive spoiler. It’s elegance meeting efficiency.
Inside, the cabin blends minimalism and technology. The digital interface wraps around the driver, eliminating clutter. Yet, craftsmanship remains—hand-stitched leather, polished metal, and the iconic red start button that awakens the beast.
Driving Experience: Emotion Electrified
Behind the wheel, the 296 GTB feels alive. It corners like a scalpel, thanks to a shorter wheelbase and a new e-differential that precisely manages torque. The hybrid boost adds excitement, not weight—the car feels light, eager, and incredibly connected.
The soundtrack, engineered by Ferrari, ensures the V6 sings like a V12—because emotion is part of the engineering brief.
