The Ferrari 296 GTB redefines driving pleasure with an exciting Prancing Horse experience, whether it's extreme driving or everyday driving. The new car's naming vividly captures Ferrari's dual vision of paying homage to the classics and looking to the future, combining its total displacement (2.992 l), the number of cylinders and the GTB abbreviation.
The most interesting thing is the power and handling of this supercar, the 296 GTB is the first Ferrari road car to use a new V6 engine, the maximum output of the engine is 663cv (about 488 kW), with a rear electric motor with an output of 122 kW, the comprehensive output of the new car is as high as 830 cv (about 610 kW), and with an excellent performance of 221 cv/l to refresh the power coefficient record of the mass production car.

Impressive performance is attributed to the new powertrain, which includes a V6 turbocharged internal combustion engine that matches an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronic differential, as well as a kinetic motor generator unit located between the engine and transmission. In addition, Ferrari has developed new accessories specifically for the 296 GTB, including transition management brakes and 6-way chassis dynamic sensors, which are world-class firsts in the automotive sector.
Smooth switching between pure electric and hybrid modes is a core feature of the 296 GTB sports car, with both power modes playing an important role in dynamic driving and working in tandem with the traditional Manettino knob by a power output management selector.
