Just now, Ferrari unveiled the 296 GTS, a convertible version of the 296 GTB, powered by a new 120-degree angleDV6 engine. As Ferrari's new work for a new era, let's take a look at the highlights of the convertible version of the model.
From the front design, the 296 GTS and 296 GTB models are not much different, because the engine is located in the rear, so the designer can arbitrarily design the front of the car to be low to obtain a smaller wind resistance and center of gravity, even lower than some electric vehicles, the combat atmosphere is strong.
The side is the focus of this new model, and due to the hard-top convertible mechanism, it does not destroy the body line at all in the closed state. This hard-top folding mechanism can be turned on or off in 14 seconds at speeds of up to 45 km/h. At the same time, the Optional Asset Fiorano kit can reduce weight by 8 kg and generate 360 kg of downforce at a speed of 250 km /h.
The rear styling is distinctly different from the 296 GTB, with a glass panel on the hood that allows you to see the engine inside, which is a positive thing for a convertible, where Ferrari knows what consumers care about. The lower mid-outlet exhaust and diffuser shape is the same as the 296 GTB.
In the interior part, the new car has changed significantly, although the center console part still retains Ferrari's recognizable family characteristics, but the instrument panels are all liquid crystal display, in line with the current trend of electronics.
The power part, the new car and the 296 GTB are equipped with the same engine system, a 3.0T V6 twin-turbo engine lying quietly in the engine compartment, with a 120-degree cylinder angle and dry sump design, red line speed of 8500 rpm, maximum horsepower of 663 horses. The maximum horsepower of the motor is 167 horses, the battery capacity is 7.45 kWh, the pure electric endurance is 25 kilometers, the maximum horsepower of the whole system reaches 830 horses, the thrust-to-weight ratio is 1.86 kg / horsepower, under such a strong power output, I hope you do not abandon the six cylinders. The drive section is an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front and rear thrust-to-weight ratio of the new car is 40.5:59.5, the rear drive drive, zero hundred acceleration takes only 2.9 seconds, 0-200km/h takes 7.6 seconds, the performance has been comparable to the flagship.
GO car jun comments: As a more beginner model in the Ferrari family, the Ferrari 296 series may not make many car fans love, after all, back to ten years ago, everyone will not think that Ferrari will launch a V6 model in ten years, but under the blessing of the motor, the parameters are still good, and when the epidemic is over, drive it to the ride!
