- Chris Harris gets behind the wheel of the new Ferrari 296 GTB at Anglesey Circuit in Wales. A very scenic backdrop to test Ferrari's latest iteration of the mid-rear-engine product, this time using a plug-in hybrid V6 engine!
We walk-around the car and take it for a few laps of Anglesey to see what Chris makes of it. This particular press-car is finished in a very garish specification.
What do you think of the 296? Is the future of the most passionate supercar manufacturer hybrid / electric?

The combination of red and baby blue is HIDEOUS
Hideous now, soon to be iconic
It's putrid
Yeah looks horrible
Agreed. What were they thinking!
Came here looking for this comment. Wasn't disappointed.
Chris Harris yet again proves how brilliant of a car journalist he is, in terms of car world personalities he’s up there with the OG Top Gear trio in my humble opinion.
He is more than a journalist,the guy knows how to drive these things properly
Jesus, get a room.
He’s better. Les funny, but better. I like him.
I think he's on the level of Needell and Metcalfe, brilliant automotive journalist.
True 👌
I remeber when we went from the f430 and scuderia to the 458 italia. How that car by its design engine and driving dynamics just seemed light years ahead by comparison. This 296 is giving me those vibes all over again.
Oh my God that is so right! The 458 is what made me feel this way. The 458 showed and it forced the entire industry to up their game. This is doing just that.
Right? 458 seemed so alien and futuristic!
Feels the same generation shift, but the f430 scuderia still holds up, great sound
Agreed. Hell just the upgraded gearbox in the 458 transformed the experience. It made the older cars feel agricultural and cheap
That car is on par with the f8 there is no upgrade
I can't lie.... this channel came out of nowhere and the production quality recently has been unreal, shout out to the videographers and editors that work on these videos, you're doing great.
It didnt really, for whos been following Chris from way before the Top Gear days, this quality was the standard on his channel, Chris Harris on Cars, when he started collaborating with Neil.
@@lea2666 yeah i know, personally i just feel like they've stepped it up with the most recent videos
Always like reviews on YT by Chris Harris. Just gets the right amount of engagement and enthusiasm from his audience. Even when our budgets can't stretch to the cars he's testing. 👌👌👍
He might go down as the Goat if he keeps it up. I love how he's actually ringing out what the car is capable of while still enjoying it.
@@locotek yep. Keeping those top quality contents up.
The Top Gear piece that Chris and co did on this car was one of the most awkward and shallow pieces I’ve ever sat through. This on the other hand - was epic. Chris Harris is as awesome as this car! Thanks for making the video ❤
I hate the way Top Gear dumb him down
The "new" top gear sucks ass, its like 2 bully's and Chris doing car stuff.
It's only because the other two are morons. We all know Chris is the only intelligent one of those three.
Top Gear direction/editors versus the good old Neil and Chris show.
When I see a Chris Harris video, I click a million times faster than usual. Brilliant video as always!
Can we just take a moment and appreciate Neil's capture of the transition from 5:50 to 6:13? Bravo!
💯 Superb camera work!
Good ole Neilo!!
Actual modern F1 hybrid technology coming down to the entry level is pretty cool
5:51 That's an absolute moment of excellence. Crazy car.
Can't wait for Chris to review a GM T50! ❤️
Maaan...I tought the same...Chris in a T.50 will be the video of the century...that car is a true gem 💪
I’m a simple man, I see Chris Harris and I press play.
and like 😎
I'm a tasteless man, i see blue rims and i press play. 😉
U must be Chris Harris’s bum chum
Forget the car. Chris’ control is just astonishing and frankly why we all stay glued to his videos. Unbelievable driving skills as always.
I have grown to love when Chris shuts of the TC and just slides around in some of the wildest cars made.
This Ferrari 296 GTB car is legendary to drive.
Nothin better on a Sunday morning than watching Chris throw cars around a track, more please.
Amazing car no doubt. I can’t remember the last time I came across a performance car being driven properly even on the deserted roads near me in Northumberland, let alone a supercar. With that kind of performance you could ever open it up for more than a few seconds realistically. Even on a track day you would end up stuck behind slower cars every few seconds and you’d need a new pair of rear boots at lunchtime..
We want more of Chris Harris !!!!!
A masterclass on how to drive by Chris Harris
I couldn't believe it when they announced it would have 830hp. Totally blew my mind. I thought logically that a V6 with hybrid would be tops 750hp. I knew it would have more than the F8, because Ferrari always up the hp on a new model. But 830hp is just another level. Definitely blurs the line between supercar and hypercar. What a car...
Little late, but the 296 is ballistic, it's faster than the SF90 in the 1/4 mile and beyond, plus, it's hands down one of the most gorgeous vehicles ever to be made (not in this color way lol), definitely the prettiest car Ferrari has made in the last 20+ years.... and God, whatever you do, do not listen to this F6 with a custom exhaust, it just sounds absolutely incredible, even Ferrari's own V12 's and F12's don't sound as good as this thing once it has an exhaust on it 😬
@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 How is the 296 faster when the SF90 has 170 more hp and AWD?
@@elijahprasad7884 it's much lighter. Sure 0-60 is slower, but everything else is on par with each other, the 296 is just a better designed vehicle.
Chris Harris was always top notch to me. He really knows how to push a car to its limits and intelligently explain everything that’s going on with the car.
It’s an exciting learning experience watching his videos.
I recall Chris saying "where do we go from here" in a previous ferrari review.
I guess this car answered the question.
The combination of red and baby blue wheels is fantastic! Beautiful!
Phenomenal video. Chris just seemed completely in sync with the car going sideways and those slo-mo shots were stunning. What a great team. If I had the money I’d be straight down to the Ferrari dealership.
This 296 GTB seems so legendary to drive, Jonny Jones.
It's an absolutely amazing and beautiful car. Love the 296 GTB! Dream machine no doubt.
Love these reviews and the shots are beautiful. Everything from the slow mo to the exterior noises thanks videographer, editor and Chris :)
This car is phenomenal
Beautiful design, as well
I would not go for that blue touch, but that's my personal taste
Chris, a great pro
“that blue touch”, you are correct, sir. It distracts from how gorgeous she likely is. Plenty of ladies don’t require make-up. However, some…
We ordered our 296 GTS in July 2022! It will take 3 years to get ours. We test drove in June at Los Altos Ca. It is a great car. We love everything about this car.
I think eventually Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc will find themselves in a tricky spot. If the baby Ferrari now has over 800 horsepower where does that leave the rest of the range, 1000 or more? Where does it end? At some point they'll have to say right, this is the right amount of power now let's focus on driver enjoyment as much as possible.. kind of like say, the Porsche GT3, so I wonder who is really more in the future?
I can't wait for the Ferrari flying saucer... clearly making anti gravity sports saucers is where this is heading.
Didnt you here Chris Harris say that is a very enjoyable car? And to say that about a ferrari is hard these days.. This car seems to have everything.
Thrse are the final song birds though.. they're being forced to have electric only just like the rest of the car World sadly..
It’s weird, he used to make this point about “where does it end” a lot, but since his top gear gig and his new found love for Ferrari, he’s just tossed that talking point out of the window.
Cashing in before the party is over. GPS linked speed control is on the way and the death of all performance cars...including Germany
Really, really good speedy review. Thanks.
Great video! Thank you!
Yet again Chris proves why he is the journalist who we all love! Top of the game & thanks Chris!
Thank you for this incredible review!
Great video, great 'Hooning' and fab music. I like 😊
Love these videos so damn much I get so happy whenever I see another one is posted
That was brilliant. Thank you!
Very good to watch. I have done many laps here in my Mono. My favourite track to drive
Yes Chris. This is a mint video. You asked "What next?" Surely the performance doesn't need to be improved but imagine that performance in a lighter car with lower emissions. That would impress me
Chris is just getting better and better as a car commentator. Great video. Hid enthusiasm and performance bewilderment really comes across. Great car. Ferrari just have hit the nail on the head with this car.
"Don't turn the TC off on the road".... Reminds me of the F12/812 driver who did and then lost it on Westminster bridge 😂
I love Chris' videos at this track... epic
Excellent video Gent's and Ladies. Love the new types of videos. They're a cross between old school C.H. On Car's and the new fancy show. Clearly you and Niel are LOVING EVERY minute of production now. Love the blue on the Ferrari too. Makes you look back 5 times when you get out of it, instead of one look back 👍👍👍👍
Love the shot🎉
A hybrid super-Cayman with this performance and like...930 callback stuff would be an interesting contender to the 296.
Ferrari is smiling ear to ear with this review. If you want to capture the soul of a car, give it to Chris Harris for an afternoon.
Funny how Everyone's commenting about Chris Harris, yet not a single well rated comment is about the Ferrari.
It's enough to show what kind of company Ferrari has become.

This reminded me why I was watching CHOC a bunch of years ago. Stunning car that 296.
Such great narrative and insight with insane car sliding fun, how every car person would drive that car and how they want to see it be driven not muppeted around through cities
A very good review.. 👍
Fantastic video again! More! New Type R please - the TG segment with Harris’ views wasn’t technical or detailed enough…
Harris is the man, great review as per.
Epic car and Chris has done it again...just sublime
Nice to see Chris this excited about a new car.
Absolutely astonishing. And I mean the driving skills of Chris. I'm wondering why he hasn't participated in any drifting tournament.

More Chris content please
Love it 🤩
Love the V6 howl……… far better than any flat plane V8 malarkey……. don’t care if they have a rev advantage, they sound pants. Makes most hypercar two seaters look overblown and overpriced…..
Oh man Chris Harris is living legend he has something extra which put him unique and he is in class of his own period greetings from Toronto Canada
I really appreciate your content.

You know car is good when Chris doesn't complain about anything in Ferrari! ❤️🔥
Or maybe he choses his words more carefully nowadays. I expected Chris to say something about the looks but no. The blue nose and wheels are ridiculous on a road car.
C.H is at the top of his game, His slider is always in the strike zone.Bravo Chris 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Chris, like Ferrari, you are on your A-game with these videos. Please keep them coming.
Great Video
Chris Harris
Question 296GTB how far behind P1 is it ????
That's still my most favorite video of yours
" what a thing "
I think the first car to bridge hyper car and super car was the 765LT and to do it with out any hybrid systems and rear wheel drive is extremely impressive
The SF90 is the second imo. The SF90 has a slight edge against the 765LT because it has a hybrid system and all wheel drive in terms of acceleration from 0
This car is def a crazy weird but awesome car. Imo this car is doing what the original 720S did. It was so ahead of all the other competitors and it made everyone raise their level.
McLaren has the Altura but everyone who has compared that to this will take this. Let’s see where the mid level cars and the hyper cars go next. Exciting
At 6:02, does the rear left tire lock? TC off, torque vectoring (activating the brakes) still kicking in?!
A good video 👍👍
This really is the best high performance car for the money, no rival.
Love the colours
love a bit of sunday morning sliding.
Jesus Christ that transition shot was perfect
Very few people can describe their senses and demonstrate a car to this effect. CH is one of the most engaging journalists at the moment and about the only one for these kind of cars
F Me that's a kitty WOW she barked with the wheelset looks awesome and the screaming engine just purrs perfectly , damn you got a great job Spot on Chris Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the beginning of this holiday season .
Chris for president! Magnifico
I bought a M2 cause of his videos !! Still wish I had it at times but love LOVE my C7 Corvette! Can't wait till Chris gets his hands on a C8 Z06 to thrash around in some big clouds of tire smoke !!!
This is a clear, unique perspective on the car I might not be able to get from any other source.
Chris Harris transitioning with a rear engine car like he's in formula drift
Wow wow wow.
Chris Harris sideways. Wonderful!
Chris Harris makes drifting look so easy, in any car.
@Whatapp±①④⓪⑦②①⑦⑨⑦⑦③ Amazing driving skills but, what cars are the hardest or easiest to drift ? The Ferrari 296 GTB looked so easy for you.
the REAL Chris Harris is back. Thank you Collecting Cars.
Great video Chris, your facial expresisons really let us in on how mind-blowing this car is. Best Ferrari in decades.
Good old Harrismonkey‘s back! That puts a big smile on my face. Also, that with Ferrari, we‘re entering a new age of performance cars. They did it again. Now I‘m wishing for a contemporary OSCA: less than 190cm wide, 200-300hp hybrid, 2 seats, Italian styling and engine sound, a chassis that is comfortable enough and easy to use, no aggressive overdesigned body, just simple and fast. Not as tough as a Lotus, not as tight as a 4C. Just a down scaled 296.
The Nevera is going to turn all of these into glorified riding lawn mowers
Cracking car, cracking review, hopping paint scheme!
What were Ferrari thinking!
Two colours that have no business being on the same car !!!
great car, great video. the gear shifts are slurred so that the car uses power from the battery. if they don't, it over charges and there's no where to dump the charge.
When Chris says ‘watch this’ he makes the car dance.
When I’ve said ‘watch this’ in the past it’s ended with my car in a ditch.
I’d NEVER say watch this again.
😂 great comment
Great video beautifully filmed! Watching CH sliding a Ferrari while chatting through the details is always fun. That spoiler is cool as. Can’t help but think the baby blue and red is a strong choice.
Could watch Chris drive and talk all day.
Neil and yourself actually made that spec look cool!
Imagine one of these in matte black, and you've got the coolest car ever made
Shoutout to all the kids digging for lithium with their hands 👍🏽
Saving the world apparently according to our trusty politicians.
Holy smokes I’m even more excited if that’s possible to get mine early next year! And I thought my Artura was godly!
It's funny, Chris says "where's McLaren?". Harry's Garage just dropped an Artura video at the same time as this one on the same day, and he says the McLaren is a better rival and better drivers car overall. I've driven both as well, very tough decision, both are phenomenal and I think both are rivals to each other regardless of what anyone says.
NICE WORK FROM CRISS HARRIS AND HIS FERRARI TEAM
Where do they go from here!? Let him try the hardcore version of the sf90 or the hardcore version of this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know it is actually brutal if Chris Harris says if he turns off the traction control he will instantly drop it. This man is a good driver and usually like to drive with everything off
Inexplicable car control. Glorious content as always. What a machine from Ferrari
not many will drive such a car and not many can do it like Chris
absolute game changer
2:38 Yes Chris, that would make sense. Momentum is conserved due to the law of conservation of momentum.
Great circuit Anglesey. Wish I could live there. Not fussy… any marshal’s hut would be fine :)
I live for chris reviewing cars
That expression at 07:02 says it all!
