Ferrari 296 GTB: A Hybrid Masterpiece Redefining Supercar Dynamics in 2025 and Beyond
As an industry veteran with a decade immersed in the thrilling world of automotive engineering and performance vehicles, I’ve witnessed firsthand the relentless evolution of the supercar segment. Few marques embody this relentless pursuit of perfection quite like Ferrari. Their latest marvel, the Ferrari 296 GTB, stands as a testament to this ethos, a revolutionary machine that has fundamentally shifted expectations, especially as we navigate the landscape of 2025. This isn’t just another evolution; it’s a paradigm shift, and its existence sets a formidable benchmark for rivals, most notably the eagerly anticipated Lamborghini Temerario.
For years, the mid-engined Ferrari formula was synonymous with the thunderous roar of a naturally aspirated V8. The 296 GTB, however, represented a bold departure from this hallowed tradition upon its 2022 debut. Eschewing the multi-award-winning twin-turbo V8 in favor of a groundbreaking twin-turbo V6, augmented by electric power, the 296 GTB confidently stepped into a higher echelon of the supercar market, a segment still in the throes of embracing hybrid technology.
In its initial market positioning, the 296 GTB found its most traditional adversary in the Lamborghini Huracán, a machine celebrated for its naturally aspirated V10’s visceral appeal. While lacking the sheer horsepower of the newer hybrid contenders, the Huracán offered an intoxicating blend of V10 charisma and raw, unfiltered auditory drama. Simultaneously, it faced the formidable McLaren 720S, a car that championed the cause of twin-turbo V8 supremacy through its exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Now, as the McLaren 750S builds upon that established theme, we see the 903bhp, 10,000rpm twin-turbo V8 hybrid Lamborghini Temerario emerge as Lamborghini’s direct riposte to Maranello’s 819bhp hybridised Berlinetta.
Indeed, the Ferrari 296 GTB packs a truly awe-inspiring punch. Its all-new 120-degree twin-turbo V6, coupled with an electric motor, channels its formidable power solely to the rear wheels – a distinct difference from the four-wheel-drive SF90 Stradale. This remarkable powertrain configuration delivers a combined output of 819bhp, shattering conventional supercar norms.
It’s difficult to ignore such an astounding power figure, and it naturally prompts contemplation about the ultimate trajectory of this power escalation – and, perhaps more pragmatically, where such prodigious performance can be fully unleashed. But that’s a discussion for another time.
What sets the 296 GTB apart is its pioneering status: it’s the first V6-powered Ferrari road car (distinguishing it from the beloved but unbadged 246 GT Dino), the first to feature a ‘hot-vee’ turbocharger layout, and crucially, a plug-in hybrid with a respectable EV-only range of approximately 15 miles. This compact V6 is nestled low within a new aluminum chassis, featuring a wheelbase 50mm shorter than its V8 predecessors, with occupants positioned slightly further forward.
The electric motor contributes a potent 165bhp and 232 lb-ft of torque, while the V6 itself churns out an astonishing 654bhp and 546 lb-ft. The headline combined output is 819bhp, though Ferrari judiciously refrains from quoting a peak combined torque figure, likely due to the intricate interplay between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume the combined torque is nothing short of colossal. In terms of weight savings, the V6 unit is approximately 30kg lighter than Ferrari’s V8s. It’s mated to an advanced eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the compact battery pack, a long, slender unit, is strategically located behind the seats.
No Ferrari would be complete without an arsenal of acronyms detailing its sophisticated electronic chassis management systems. For the 296 GTB, Ferrari has developed an innovative six-axis sensor array, dubbed the 6w-CDS (six-way Chassis Dynamic Sensor). This cutting-edge system meticulously measures acceleration and rotational speed across the X, Y, and Z planes.
This advanced sensor replaces traditional yaw sensors and, in conjunction with a sensor on the steering rack, grants the car an unparalleled understanding of both driver intent and real-time grip levels at the tire contact patch. This information is then leveraged by other systems, such as the Side Slip Control and the active E-Diff, to optimize cornering speeds while steadfastly preserving stability and driver confidence. Furthermore, it enables a new system, ABS-evo (a fitting moniker), which, in RACE mode and above, utilizes the 296’s brake-by-wire technology to not only shorten braking distances but also enhance braking performance during trail-braking maneuvers into corners.
In a notable shift of philosophy, Ferrari is deploying its active aerodynamics technology not to reduce drag, but to generate increased downforce. The company quotes a substantial figure of 360kg at 155mph, with a significant portion – up to 100kg – derived from the deployable rear wing.
The thermal management of this hybrid powerhouse is a masterpiece of engineering. Two radiators in the front handle engine and gearbox cooling, complemented by two additional condensers dedicated to battery thermal regulation. Hot air is efficiently expelled from the underbody to prevent interference with the cooling air directed to the intercoolers along the car’s flanks. The discreet apertures below the headlamps are crucial for drawing air to cool the brakes, while the roofline-integrated rear wing cleverly creates a ‘virtual’ rear screen, channeling airflow to the car’s rear as if guided by a precisely sculpted surface. The lion’s share of the 296’s downforce is generated beneath the car, where meticulous attention has been paid not only to airflow management and the rear diffuser but also to the underbody’s ground clearance, maximizing the effectiveness of the downforce-generating surfaces.
The 296 GTB models we sampled on the launch circuit were all equipped with the Assetto Fiorano package. This performance enhancement replaces the standard dampers with advanced Multimatic units, derived from GT racing technology, and incorporates additional carbon fiber aerodynamic elements at the front, boosting front-end downforce by 20kg.
The cabin and exterior also benefit from increased use of carbon fiber components, contributing to an overall weight reduction of 12kg. This figure climbs to 15kg if the optional Lexan rear engine cover is specified. Further enhancing the Assetto Fiorano package’s track-focused credentials are the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, replacing the standard Pilot Sport 4S. Cars configured with the Fiorano pack can also be personalized with an exterior graphics package, inspired by the iconic 250LM of the 1960s.
Having spent considerable time with the 296 GTB ‘in the metal,’ I can attest to its striking aesthetic. It’s a design that stands apart, evoking the spirit of the 1960s 250LM, even without the more provocative graphics option. This is a car that commands attention and appreciation.
Performance and Dynamics: A Symphony of Power and Precision
Initiating motion is a simple double-press on the lower section of the steering wheel boss, followed by selecting first gear. The 296 GTB defaults to Hybrid mode, allowing it to glide away using electric power alone, unless specific driver inputs dictate otherwise through the intuitive haptic driver mode selectors on the left side of the wheel’s hub. As long as throttle application remains measured, the car will continue in pure electric propulsion, provided the battery has sufficient charge.
Drivers can also elect to engage pure EV mode, overriding powertrain demands. Beyond this, Performance and Qualifying modes unlock the full potential of the hybrid system. In Performance mode, both power sources work in concert with the objective of maintaining battery charge. Qualifying mode, however, prioritizes ultimate performance, disregarding the battery’s state of charge.
The sensation of gliding silently through urban landscapes is an unexpected delight. The damping sophistication ensures a surprisingly comfortable ride, even on extended journeys. The ‘frunk’ offers a practical, albeit modest, luggage space – a welcome improvement over the SF90. But what truly ignites the passion is the experience of unleashing both the V6 engine and the electric motor in their full glory.
The initial surge of power when planting the throttle at low revs in a high gear is simply breathtaking. The 296 bolts forward with zero discernible lag, momentarily making you question the need for gear changes given its immediate potency. However, with eight gears at its disposal and an engine that eagerly spins to an 8,500rpm redline, the full experience of the 296 GTB is nothing short of startling.
The acceleration figures – a sub-3-second 0-62mph sprint and a top speed exceeding 200mph – translate into a visceral, hold-on-tight sensation that borders on the exhilaratingly uncomfortable, yet is undeniably addictive. This is a seriously rapid machine. And the sound? It’s equally captivating, a harmonious blend of turbocharger effects overlaying the sonorous rasp of the V6.
Ride and Handling: A Masterclass in Engagement
What truly impresses is the profound responsiveness of the 296 GTB’s chassis. Ferrari’s promise of a ‘fun to drive’ experience is not hyperbole; the car feels incredibly agile without ever becoming unnervingly nervous. The steering is typically light and razor-sharp, yet it communicates vital road feel and detail. While grip levels are predictably immense, the car’s adjustability on the throttle is a constant source of automotive joy.
Despite its published dry weight of 1,470kg, the 296 GTB feels considerably lighter. There’s a remarkable lack of inertia throughout the entire vehicle, encouraging an intuitive driving style. Small, precise inputs are met with immediate and accurate responses, allowing the driver to truly work with the car. Engaging CT Off mode provides a reassuring safety net, allowing for adventurous maneuvers with the confidence that an exceptionally intelligent electronic brain is still at play. Yet, even with all electronic aids deactivated, the inherent balance of the 296 GTB allows for a level of playful oversteer that one might not expect from a car producing 819bhp.
On a circuit, the 296 GTB possesses the uncanny ability to make even the longest straights feel abbreviated. What becomes even more apparent is its surgical precision. The abundant power is readily available to break rear-end traction at numerous points around the lap, but the 296 also exhibits remarkable sensitivity to braking and steering inputs. It quickly becomes clear that meticulous control yields the most profound rewards.
The turn-in accuracy and response are nothing short of incredible, dramatically shortening the entry phase of every corner. Instead of gently easing the car into turns and allowing loads to build, the 296 settles immediately, aided by its Multimatic dampers. The hyper-quick steering perfectly complements the enhanced roll support offered by the Assetto Fiorano setup. Even for drivers accustomed to more mature sports cars, the sheer speed, precision, and agility of the 296 GTB are phenomenal, delivering an exhilarating experience lap after lap.
Interior: A Digital Frontier with Familiar Ferrari DNA
The cabin architecture will feel familiar to anyone who has experienced the SF90 Stradale, as the 296 GTB draws heavily from its larger sibling. The fully digital interface and its accompanying haptic switchgear, distributed across the steering wheel and traditional Ferrari stalks, present a learning curve.
While undoubtedly complex, the interface is designed to convey a vast amount of information. However, its primary drawback lies in the occasional need for a second press for simple operations that fail to register on the first attempt, or a lack of immediate confirmation of a successful input. Despite these minor ergonomic challenges, the cabin undeniably conveys a sense of occasion and exclusivity.
Expert Verdict: A Return to Form and a New Benchmark
When a vehicle is imbued with such advanced technology, there’s always the inherent risk that it might feel less than the sum of its parts. This was a concern we encountered with the SF90 Stradale, which, while dazzling in its power output, occasionally felt somewhat aloof in its driving characteristics.
The 296 GTB, however, represents a distinctly different proposition. As evidenced by its strong showing at the evo Car of the Year 2022 awards, where it secured a joint third place alongside the McLaren Artura, the 296 GTB feels far more organic. Its exquisite blend of prodigious power and engaging dynamics strikes a perfect balance, fundamentally redefining what a supercar in the £250,000 price bracket can achieve. A more potent Versione Speciale variant is anticipated, promising even greater intensity. The hope is that the standard 296’s remarkably natural driving feel will be preserved.
It is this crucial aspect of the 296 GTB’s character that we hope Lamborghini has prioritized in the development of its hybrid Temerario supercar. A figure exceeding 900bhp is an obscene amount of power for a series-production supercar, and it has the potential to overwhelm the chassis if the supporting elements aren’t meticulously resolved. If Lamborghini has indeed nailed the execution – and their success with the Revuelto provides ample reason for optimism – then we are poised for an absolutely monumental twin-test confrontation.
Alternatively, we could orchestrate a 2,400bhp triple threat with the McLaren 750S, which, by current standards, almost appears to be the ‘minnow’ of the group with “only” 740bhp. However, as previously noted, it brings a remarkably lithe 1,389kg kerb weight to the table, resulting in a highly competitive power-to-weight ratio. The McLaren’s raw engagement, ergonomic perfection, surgically precise steering, and the deftness of its chassis mark it as a compelling counterpoint to the comparatively more detached Ferrari.
