Adrenaline, Redefining Fun-to-Drive....
The Ferrari 296 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) marks a new era for Maranello, a revolutionary two-seater sports berlinetta that reintroduces the V6 engine to a core Ferrari road car for the first time since the Dino. Its name is a direct homage to its engineering: 29 (2.9-litre displacement), 6 (cylinders), signaling a perfect synergy of design and innovation.
This car is the ultimate expression of the "fun to drive" philosophy, achieving a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and astonishing agility througha shorter wheelbase and innovative dynamic controls. The sculpted, monolithic design is a modern interpretation of classic Ferrari form, drawing inspiration from legendary models like the 250 LM, creating an aesthetic that is both stunning and functional.
Powering the 296 GTB is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrain, comprising a new 120-degree twin-turbo V6-the turbos nestled within the "hot V" for compactness and a lower center of gravity-coupled with an electric motor. This system delivers a combined, spectacular output of 830hp, providing blistering acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed exceeding 330 km/h.
The hybrid system is not just for efficiency; it is a vital component of the performance. It provides zero-lag torque and enables the car to be drivenin full-electric eDrive mode for a short range, ideal for silent city driving. When the V6 roars to life, it produces a unique, high-frequency soundtrack reminiscent of a naturally-aspirated V12.
