The Ferrari 296 GTB marks a bold new chapter in the brandโs legacy, blending state-of-the-art turbo-hybrid innovation with classic Ferrari design DNA. Developed at Maranello by a dedicated team of engineers and designers, the 296 GTB showcases the collaborative brilliance of Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni and Chief Technology Officer Michael Leiters.
Their combined vision produced a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive supercar that unites sustainability and staggering performance in one breathtaking package. At its core, the 296 GTB houses an all-new plug-in hybrid system built around a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and a powerful electric motor.
Together, they produce 819 horsepower, launching the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and pushing it beyond 205 mph. Lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber construction enhance its agility, while advanced aerodynamics, adaptive suspension, and cutting-edge driver aids deliver both precision and control.
In a recent video published by AutoTopNL on YouTube, a 296 GTB managed to achieve an incredible 352 km/h (218.72 mph) on Germanyโs Autobahnโfar exceeding Ferrariโs official speed claim. The Autobahn, with its unrestricted speed zones, remains one of the few places in the world where such feats can be achieved legallyโmaking it a proving ground for high-performance machines like Ferrariโs mid-engine hybrid supercar.
