Chronology
Predecessor Dino 206/246 GT (spiritual)

The Ferrari 296 (Type F171)[3] is a sports car built since 2022 by the Italian company Ferrari. The 296 is a two-seater, offered as a GTB coupé, and a GTS folding hard-top convertible. It is a plug-in hybrid with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and its power train combines a twin-turbocharged 120-degree block-angle V6 with an electric drive fitted in between the engine and gearbox.[clarification needed] The 296 can be driven in electric-only mode for short distances, to comply with use in urban zero-emission zones.

Unveiled on 24 June 2021,[4] the 296 is Ferrari's first stock model with 6-cylinders. Its power pack puts out a combined 830 PS (610 kW; 819 hp), giving the 296 a power-to-weight ratio of 560 hp/ton.

History

The 296 GTB was presented as the first "real Ferrari with just six cylinders on it" on 24 June 2021. Previously, such models were both designed and built by Ferrari, but marketed as a new, entry-level Dino brand, below Ferrari's exclusively V12-model policy, until 1974. The new car went on sale in 2022. The 296 in the model name reprises the original Dino's naming scheme, indicating the engine's displacement and the number of cylinders. GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta.[5][6]

Engine

The 296 GTB is powered by a 2,992 cc (3.0 L) twin-turbo 120° V6 engine with a maximum output of 488 kW (654 hp; 663 PS) at 8,000 rpm, in combination with a 123 kW (165 hp; 167 PS) electric motor. The system output is given as 830 PS (819 hp; 610 kW). A high-voltage accumulator positioned under the floor with an energy capacity of 7.45 kWh (26.8 MJ) enables an electrical range of 25 km (16 mi). The sports car accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, and the top speed is specified as over 330 km/h (205 mph).[6]

GTS

The 296 GTS is an open-top variant of the 296 GTB with a folding hardtop. The top takes 14 seconds for operation and can be operated with speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph). The GTS weighs 70 kg (154 lb) more than the GTB due to chassis reinforcing components but maintains equal performance.

Promotion

To promote the launch of the 296 GTB, Ferrari collaborated with Epic Games in July 2021 to add the Ferrari 296 GTB as a drivable vehicle to the online battle royale video game Fortnite Battle Royale, as part of Chapter 2: Season 7 of the game.[7] The 296 GTB was removed from the game after the end of the season in October 2021.[8]
