As a new compact mid-engine model, Ferrari presents the 296 GTB online today. If you exclude the classic Dino, which was always considered a sub-brand in its own right, this is the first V6 road sports car in the brand’s history. For the model name, Ferrari pulls together the first two numbers of the displacement and the number of cylinders and adds the abbreviation GTB to this number. The displacement is 2,996 cc. Even though at first glance these data seem like a downgrade from the F8 Tributo, the hybrid powertrain shouldn’t be forgotten here. There are similarities with the legendary Dino, however Ferrari doesn’t see the 296 GTB as an indirect successor, as it is positioned differently in the model range. It is a third mid-engine model, not a replacement for already known model series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powerful hybrid drive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An important point in the vehicle development was the highest possible driving pleasure. A short wheelbase was chosen, powered by a V6 biturbo engine and an electric motor. In combination, the hybrid drive produces 610 kW\/830 hp and 740 Nm of torque. Classification as an entry-level model is therefore only possible via the compact dimensions. In the V6 with 120\u00b0 bank angle, Ferrari mounts the two IHI turbochargers in the hot inner-V to lower the center of gravity. Compared to the rest of the model range, the combustion engine is 50 millimeters lower in the vehicle. Between the engine and transmission sits a 122 kW\/167 hp axial-flow electric motor, the MGU-K unit. With this drive alone, the 296 GTB can be driven up to 15.5 miles and up to a speed of 83.8 mph purely electrically. With combined power, the sports car accelerates to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and to 124 in 7.3 seconds, half a second faster than the F8 Tributo. A maximum of over 205 mph is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n
