2024 (73) | Ferrari 296 GTB

The Ferrari 296 GTB marks a revolutionary chapter in Maranello’s history - the first mid-engined Ferrari road car to pair a V6 engine with plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Beneath its sculpted body lies a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, together producing a combined 819 bhp and 740 Nm of torque. This setup delivers electrifying performance, with the 296 GTB accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 205 mph, while also offering up to 15 miles of electric-only range.

Engineered for balance and agility, the 296 GTB features a rear-wheel-drive layout, active aerodynamic systems, and eManettino driving modes that seamlessly blend electric and petrol power for optimal performance. Its hybrid system contributes not only to efficiency, but also to sharper throttle response and instantaneous torque delivery, resulting in one of the most engaging driving experiences of any modern Ferrari.

Combining timeless design with cutting-edge technology, the Ferrari 296 GTB embodies the future of the marque - a car that unites traditional Ferrari emotion with next-generation hybrid innovation. It stands as a landmark model within the brand’s evolution, redefining what it means to be a mid-engined Ferrari supercar.
