Ferrari 296 GTS (2022)
INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE
Launched April 20th, 2022.
The Ferrari 296 GTS, the evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater berlinetta spider concept, is powered by the new 120° V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor that debuted on the 296 GTB.
Power lives and breathes at the rear of the car, with the combined V6 turbo and electric output delivering 830cv to the rear wheels, sending the car from 0 -100 km/h in 2.9s, reaching 200 km/h in 7.6s and onwards to a top speed of 330 km/h. And in pure electric mode the car can reach 135 km/h before the V6 kicks in.
Lighter than a conventional soft top, and extremely compact, Ferrari’s extensive experience with RHTs means they can sculpt surfaces that work in tandem with the car’s lines, guaranteeing the effect of a truly convertible coupé. The folding roof splits into two sections that fold flush over the front of the engine. This has allowed the designers to introduce a window in the rear section of the engine cover through which the new V6 is clearly visible. When the top is retracted, the cabin and the rear deck are separated by a height-adjustable glass rear screen which guarantees cabin comfort, even at exhilarating speeds.
The RHT can be deployed in just 14 seconds at speeds of up to 45 km/h, but even with the roof up, Ferrari’s patented exhaust resonator system (otherwise known as the Hot Tube and positioned just before the exhaust system) channels the engine’s pure sound directly up into the cabin. With the roof down the harmonics from the single tailpipe exhaust are even more dramatic.
Every Prancing Horse is rooted in 75 years of racing innovation, and there are elements throughout the 296 GTS of technological advancements found on other models. The active spoiler is inspired by LaFerrari for example, integrated into the rear bumper to generate a high level of rear downforce. The brake cooling system was developed around the Aero callipers that debuted on the SF90 Stradale, with ventilation ducts integrated into their castings, while the design itself - sporty, sinuous and compact - references the likes of the 1963 250 LM, a perfect marriage of simplicity and functionality.
