Our Ferrari 296 GTB is Home !!

Amgeater2 · 01-31-2023, 03:33 PM

So we are very happy with the car so far... only 56 miles

all I can say is wow its in fact a baby SF90 but rwd in comparison to my Mclaren 600lt is just diffrent in every box, as the 296 gtb is just full of technology and gadgets everything and when I say everything feels high end and just right the dash been all digital and with all the options you get its just delightful (having the assetto fiorano package) the car comes with all the carbon fiber options including the door panels

.

Ferrari did step up the game with the SF90 and now with this car from the interior to the amazing sound of the hybrid V6TT (yes V6TT) its does explosions and burble from the factory which brings me to the very loud and pleasant blow off valve when shifting gears

the combination of the V6TT and the electric motor was done so well that you can shift gears to what it seems to me no turbo lag whatsoever and really feeling the 830hp of this car with a total smile in your face the whole time.

I'll give a better review of the car later as I need to find time to drive it but lets end with the pics enjoy !!

Congrats! Great looking Ferrari. It could be cool to see/hear a cold start video. Enjoy!

Haha yeap south florida but not in Miami Beach..

Congrats and nice ride! I could not fathom keeping all these rides in a shared garage. How do you sleep at night

I struggle with having my M235 parked out in my driveway now that my 2011 Cayman is taking it's place in our garage. My cars are probably worth less than the taxes you paid on the Ferrari and Mc 600LT LOL

If you're willing to drive it in Miami then keeping it a garage is nothing. It's destruction derby down there.

Jbrown7403 · 01-31-2023, 05:05 PM

Beautiful! Echo the need for a cold start video!

wtwo3 · 01-31-2023, 05:14 PM

Ooooffffff that's gorgeous. Congrats!!

Humdizzle · 01-31-2023, 05:24 PM

very nice !

i really need to hear one in person. if ferrari can make a v6 worthy of its badge then there may be hope for future turbo 6 cylinders. ferrari kind of dropped the ball with the 488 and F8 design wise. but this is a very elegant beauty like my black 458 was. i can't imagine what 800 hp feels like in that tiny car lol.

Its not that bad we have those 3 spaces for ourselves being separated by the big concrete pilars on each side so its ok, our other daily (the M8) seats with other cars so that one we have to be in the look out

Ferrari did make sure this platform was better than the 488 and the f8 which you are 100% correct were not that excited at all in regards to sound, with that being said Ferrari has named this V6TT "Piccolo V12" that's how good it sounds

and yes the 800+HP just keeps on giving..

MC20 or 296GTB is the real question, these two cars are insanely similar.

Thank you for the question but they are not close in any perspective, perhaps the size of the car and maybe the quarter panel section in any other category the 296gtb is just better..

My bad on the insanely similar, I meant like the size and both being V6 with similar horsepower output. But 296 have the hybrid motor that boost it to 800 which means its faster in straight line performance. 2.7s for 296 and 3.0s for MC20.

I'm just curious if you cross shopped these two cars. I think MC20 is overall the better car due to it's limited production, butterfly door, 100k cheaper, and not being a hybrid means the exhaust probably sounds better.

How would this change anything? The hybrid system is not connected to the exhaust.

///MPhatic · 02-02-2023, 09:48 AM

So much wow. Congrats!

It's always weird when I see such beautiful cars parked in such terrible places. I guess that's how everyone there does it? Makes me sad really.
