The Ferrari 296 GTB on its own redefines the concept of driving pleasure. Its driving guarantees pure emotions not only for those who test the limits of the car, but also for those who use it on a daily basis. A real revolution for Ferrari, it introduced a new type of engine: the 120 ° V6 of 663 hp coupled to an electric motor. The combined power of this hybrid architecture reaches 830 hp, delivering incredible performance as well as a truly exhilarating and unique sound. It should be noted that the name of the car, which associates its total displacement (2,992 cm3) and its number of cylinders with the acronym GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) in the purest Ferrari tradition, was chosen to underline the importance of this new engine marking the beginning of a new era for the House of Maranello. In addition to its total power, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system reduces the response time of the accelerator pedal to zero and offers a range of 25 km in fully electric eDrive mode, making the 296 GTB an incredibly practical car in all driving situations. With this sleek V6 engine, Ferrari engineers created the Prancing Horse team's first engine to feature turbos inside the "V" of the engine. Overall engine mass and center of gravity are lower, while the V6 sets a new specific power record for a production car, with 221 hp per liter. The transition between electric and hybrid modes is fundamental to the sporting characteristics of the 296 GTB: this is why a power management selector (eManettino) has been adopted in addition to the traditional Manettino. The eManettino has four positions: eDrive, Hybrid, Performance and Qualify. Sonically, the 296 GTB redistributes the cards by harmoniously combining two characteristics that are usually diametrically opposed: the force of the turbos and the harmony of the high-frequency notes of a naturally aspirated V12. Inside the cabin, the pure harmony of a V12, which at higher revs delivers typical high-frequency treble, is heard even at low revs. It is supported by an impressive limiter that reaches 8,500 rpm. No less revolutionary is the aerodynamics of the 296 GTB: for the first time, an active device is used not to manage drag, but to generate more downforce. The spoiler, inspired by the LaFerrari and integrated into the rear bumper, provides 100 kg of additional downforce on the rear axle in a high-downforce configuration, which improves control when seeking performance and minimizes stopping distances when braking. This impressive level of performance has been achieved by perfectly optimizing the volumes of the car, whose exceptional modernity is reminiscent of the Ferraris of the 1960s, which made simplicity and functionality their signature. The result is a car with an extremely clean and elegant design, where all performance-oriented elements blend into the aesthetic, testifying to the inseparable marriage of technology and style, hallmark of all Ferraris. Inside, the cockpit has been designed around the new all-digital interface concept, pioneered by Ferrari with the SF90 Stradale. However, unlike the latter, whose designers had put forward advanced technology, the philosophy of the 296 GTB has been to dress this technology with sophistication. The clean and minimalist result presents instruments that are opaque until the moment of start-up which brings them back to life and reveals all the technological splendor of the 296 GTB in the form of an exceptionally modern, ergonomic and fully digital interface. Another example of the philosophy of absolute formal purity is the head-up display (HUD) integrated into the leather finish. The dynamic development of the 296 GTB has focused on perfecting the performance of the car as well as improving the usability offered by the hybrid configuration. New components have been specially developed, including the 6-way chassis dynamic sensor (6w-CDS), a world first in the automotive sector. Chassis-wise, the wheelbase is 50mm shorter than Ferr...
