A few days ago, Ferrari released the official picture of the 296 GTS model, the new car is the mechanical hardtop convertible version of the currently sold Ferrari 296 series.
The 296 GTS is Ferrari's mid-range supercar series, and the low-lying front design is a visual indication of the identity. The feminine and aggressive body lines are Ferrari, and the openings in the headlights and the middle of the front lip are all aerodynamic services, combing the airflow and providing downforce.
The focus of the Convertible Ferrari 296 GTS is naturally on the mechanical folding hardtop design. In the open-top state, the body beauty of the Ferrari 296 GTS will not be destroyed, but more of a freehand style of life. The retracted roof will form a fairing behind the seat, which is consistent with the design of the previous model. The Ferrari 296 GTS can open and close the convertible mechanism up to 45km/h in 14 seconds.
The driver-centric interior design is indeed a bit eccentric, but the co-driver of the Ferrari 296 GTS is also equipped with a screen, which is an option. After Ferrari entered a new era, the use of all-LIQUID crystal meters is one of the innovative equipment, in addition to the most classic style of the center tachometer, it can also switch other styles, while the display of information has become more abundant. The steering wheel is as good as ferrari, with many buttons integrated on it, which is very ornamental and has a certain learning cost.
The transparent hatch at the rear of the body allows everyone to intuitively see the appearance of the mid-mounted V6 engine. Although it does not have the "red head" decoration of the V8, the V6 is not inferior. To know that in today's "energy saving and cylinder reduction", Ferrari should not launch the mid-V8 supercar in the future, that is to say, the F8 Tributo will be Ferrari's last mid-V8 supercar... In the future, the V6+ motor will be its mainstream power configuration.
However, this does not mean that people's performance is weak. The 296 series gets its name from the engine, the 2.9L V6, as does the classic 458. The Ferrari 296 GTS is powered by a new 120-degree cylinder angled 2.9T twin-turbo V6 engine and an electric motor located on the rear axle to form a plug-in hybrid system. The 296 series is Ferrari's third electrified model after La Ferrari and SF90.
With the assistance of the motor, the ferrari 296 GTS complete powertrain has a combined power of 830Ps, a maximum torque of 740 N·m, and the drivetrain is matched with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Although it has a plug-in hybrid system, the Ferrari 296 GTS does not enjoy the green card, because it is equipped with a 7.45kWh battery pack, which can only travel 25km in pure electric mode. To put it bluntly, this plug-in hybrid system is not for energy saving or green cards, but for performance, and it is its responsibility to power the 296 GTS.
The guide price of the Ferrari 296 GTB on sale is 2.988 million yuan, while the 296 GTS as a convertible version will naturally be more expensive. After counting a series of options, the landing price can go to 5 million in minutes! You who have the ability to pay money may have been ready for a long time
