On April 19, Ferrari unveiled its latest Berlinetta spider mid-rear engine convertible Ferrari 296 GTS in Maranello. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a V6 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 663 horsepower, plus a motor with a power of 167 horsepower, and the combined power reaches 830 horsepower.
The 296 GTS is a PLUG-in hybrid form of PHEV and is capable of traveling 25 km/h at a speed of 135 km/h in pure electric eDrive mode.
Of course, don't overlook that this is a convertible vehicle, the 296 GTS's lightweight folding hard top can be retracted or unfolded at a speed of 45 km / h, the whole process takes only 14 seconds. The folding hard roof covers the body of the A and B pillars, and when it is retracted, the roof is divided into two stacks and placed in the front of the engine compartment, which neither affects the heat dissipation of the engine compartment nor destroys the overall balance of the appearance.
The rear bumper of the 296 GTS integrates an active spoiler system that generates up to 360 kg of downforce at a speed of 250 km/h, which is equivalent to the efficiency of the Aspire Fiorano high downforce kit equipped with Ferrari.
While improving high-speed driving performance, it also makes the body design of the 296 GTS cleaner and more elegant. All performance-oriented exterior elements are integrated with the shape, enabling a combination of technology and aesthetics.
As a convertible supercar, the 296 GTS has been redesigned and optimized on the chassis of the 296 GTB, with a 50% increase in torsional stiffness, an 8% increase in bending stiffness, and a corresponding increase in the strength of the A-pillar and B-pillars.
