Ferrari 296 GTB Revealed with V6 Hybrid Engine
Ferrari 296 GTB Revealed with V6 Hybrid Engine-April 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:29

Welcome back Ferrari V6, but this is no Dino. Meet the all-new Ferrari 296 GTB.

The new engine may be physically smaller than what you’d expect, but don’t be fooled as outputs and performance are right up there amongst supercar royalty.

The key here is hybrid technology and the plug-in setup combines with a turbocharged 3.0 V6 petrol engine to deliver 610 kW and 740 Nm and when everything is activated, the new Ferrari 296 GTB is good for a 0-100 kph of 2.9 seconds. It can also do 0-200 kph in 7.3 seconds and run to a top speed of 330 kph. The vehicle features an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

That’s an incredible set of performance figures, but we also love its smart electric package. There’s a 7.45 kWh battery which gives it an electric range of 25 km – perfect for those cities that have congestion charges.

As far as styling is concerned, there’s a big focus on futuristic elements, with the brand claiming the design is the “perfect marriage of simplicity and functionality”. Inside, there’s a big digital focus and there’s a lot going on for the driver. The passenger-side performance display is also available.
