It has been a while since Ferrari unveiled their latest 269 GTB<\/a>, and while we are all waiting for the Purosangue to arrive since the spy shot leaks, we shouldn’t discard the 269 GTB, it is the first V6 model from Maranello since the legendary Dino, but its also a hybrid, so despite having just a 2.9-Liter displacement (hence the 29 in the name) and lacking a few cylinders (the 6 in the name), the overall power output is still a healthy 830 hp, and even Ferrari themselves mention the range-topping SF90<\/a> in the same breath as this 296 GTB, both being their first production hybrid models, one being a hypercar, the latter being a supercar.<\/p>\n

And things get even more interesting with the optional Assetto Fiorano package that comes with extensive use of carbon fiber to shed weight over the regular GTB, add a track-derived suspension and you end up with a more hardcore version of the Ferrari 296 named after the company\u2019s iconic test circuit, the Ferrari 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano comes with racing harness seatbelts and boasts a bespoke livery, which, let’s be honest, might not please everyone, especially the front.<\/p>\n
