Garage List
Ferrari's first PHEV: the 296GTB and 296GTS in berlinetta and spider forms introduced in 2022.

3.0 liter twin turbo V-6 of 654 hp, supplemented by electric motor for a total of 819 hp (!) Curb weight of the coupe is just 3,240 pounds, or 3,530 pounds according to Car and Driver magazine. Some other interesting specs: 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds, 0 to 100 in 4.7 seconds, top speed 205 mph (per Ferrari). Oh, and EPA fuel economy 16 city, 22 highway.

296 GTB $338,255
296 GTS $367,189

And those prices include maintenance for seven years/unlimited mileage. That's the good news. The bad news: Those Ferrari shields on the fenders are $1,856 options. Auto-dimming mirrors $1,350. Log floor mats also $1,350. I could go on but you get the drift...

I think the shape is reminiscent of the 250LM racer of the 1960s.

Update: It appears that the 296 has replaced the mid-engine turbo V-8 F8 Tributo as of this year, bringing to an end a half-century of Ferrari mid-engine V-8s that started with the 308GT4.
