The 296 GTB uses a twin-turbo V-6 connected to an electric motor located between the engine and the 8-speed dual clutch gearbox.

With a specific output of 218 hp per liter, it’s the most power-dense motor ever put into a production car. It makes a total of 654 horsepower from just a 2.9 L displacement.

So how does this translate into performance? 0-62mph time is completed in just 2.9s and the 296 gets to 124mph in 7.3s and continues to a top speed of over 205mph

It laps the Fiorano track in 1m 21s, the same time as the Ferrari F12tdf.

This much power from this small of an engine is something that’s never been seen before.

Now you might be worried that the 296 won’t have the same Ferrari sound and engine scream as we’re used to but Ferrari says not to worry, they’ve thought of this carefully and even calls the V6 Piccolo V12, or small V12.

The exhaust setup is extremely simple and straight to the point and that’s the main reason why Ferrari claims the sound of the engine in the 296 will still be worthy of a Ferrari, especially when close to the rev limit at 8500rpm.

The 296 gets a combined power output of 818 horsepower from the V6 and the electric motor. All this power is sent directly to the rear wheels only.

Given the size and proportions of the car, this should make for an entertaining and exciting driving experience.

Now since it has an electric motor, you can technically drive The GTB on electricity alone. However don’t expect going on any longer trips as an EV since the range is only about 15 miles on a full charge.

Pricing for the hard top 296 GTB starts at $320k so we can expect the open top GTS to be a bit more expensive than that.
