Ferrari has unveiled its latest supercar, the 296 GTB, which combines a turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor to deliver impressive performance and efficiency. The 296 GTB is the first Ferrari to use a V6 engine since the Dino of the 1970s, and the first to feature a plug-in hybrid system.
The 296 GTB has a total output of 819 horsepower, making it the most powerful V6 car ever produced. The electric motor alone contributes 164 horsepower and can power the car for up to 25 kilometers in pure electric mode. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 330 km/h.
The design of the 296 GTB is inspired by Ferrari’s racing heritage, with a sleek and aerodynamic shape that recalls the legendary 250 LM. The car has a low and wide front end, with slim LED headlights and a large air intake. The rear features a distinctive spoiler and four round tail lights. The interior is minimalist and futuristic, with a curved digital dashboard and a touch-sensitive steering wheel.
The 296 GTB is not only a powerful and beautiful supercar, but also a technological innovation that showcases Ferrari’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency. The car has a CO2 emission level of 167 g/km, which is significantly lower than other supercars in its class. The car also has various driving modes, including eDrive, Hybrid, Performance, and Qualify, that allow the driver to customize the performance and sound of the car.
The Ferrari 296 GTB started its first sale in early 2022, with a starting price of around $320,000. The car will compete with other hybrid supercars, such as the McLaren Artura and the Aston Martin Valhalla. The 296 GTB is a remarkable achievement for Ferrari and a testament to its passion for excellence and innovation.
