About This Car
830 combined horsepower, instant electric torque, and steering sharp enough to shave — Ferrari's smallest GT hits hardest
Slide into the cabin first — Alcantara everywhere, contrast stitching, a steering wheel dense with capacitive switches. No shifter. Just a ridge and two paddles, coiled and waiting. The seats hold tight, bolstered like a race bucket, angled entirely toward the driver. Every surface here feels deliberate, surgical, engineered rather than decorated.
Performance
Thumb the start button on the wheel. The V6 behind your shoulders barks awake — tighter, higher, more urgent than any V12 Ferrari has built. Turbo lag is gone; electric torque fills every gap the instant you ask for it. 830 combined horsepower routes through an eight-speed dual-clutch that snaps through gears like a blade closing.
330 km/h sits at the top of the range. The run there is instant, violent, immediate. No ramp. No warning. Just thrust. Steering is razor-edge, weight transfer surgical through corners, the chassis reading the road faster than most drivers can process it. Brake hard and the hybrid system recovers energy without dulling pedal feel one bit.
Ferrari built the 296 GTB compact, electrified, and vicious — a coiled spring wearing a badge older than the highway it's about to disappear down.
