Are you happy about Ferrari’s move to hybrid?
Not at all.
Of course we aren't !
Yep so cool……. Unfortunately can not escape the electrification era
2.9 V6… is that the Alfa Quadrofoglio engine?
You get the perks of electric cars (instant torque) and you get to listen to that sweet engine, not a bad compromise!
After playing Gran Turismo 7 all weekend (and sucking at it), I have a greater appreciation for the skill that Rory demonstrates when pushing a monster like this around the track.
Keep at it you'll get better.
The cafe starting to appear in my dreams
It actually feels easier to do it in the real world because obviously you can feel all the inertia, which you don't get through the Playstation.
get a pedal and steering wheel setup, analog input from a handheld controller sucks to convey throttle and its very easy to under or over shoot
its simply not tactile enough
It's actually easier with a real car 😄 this car specifically also has many assistsants to help
that ferrari may be at the top of it's game, but so are you Rory! excellent review. 👌👍
It's really not. Not rory, he's doing his thing but that car looks and reacts disjointed.
it seens that the put a lot of effort in the shooting of these videos they are well done.
Ferrari's definitely at the top of their game atm, these hybrids look sick.
calm down simp
@@TD1237 they absolutely are not compared to years back😂
Rory is really killing it these days. Your cinematographer & editor on this shoot did an awesome job, this was a great looking video.
Yet another amazingly produced video and an even more amazing journalist / driver to talk us through it all! Rory for Automotive Journalist of the Year 2022.
No lol
@@lohithreddy6629 Everyone else far too biased/greedy/sheepish. I think Rory's perfect fit for the title.
@@TD1237 exactly, Henry Catpole is amazing too
OMG Why?...people have to stop posting these bizarre comments fawning over automotive Journalist's who they view as exceptional in their Journalistic endeavour. I realise it spawns from a hatred of these younger, loud, "shouty" car channels. But it just comes off as passive aggressive. It happens on Harry's Garage & Late break Show & Henry Catchpole & here. It's childish.
@@HarryMollyNut I don't think the fawning is due to hate in this case. I know in other cases it most certainly is. I agree it's ridiculously childish when people hate on channels for being shouty (when they could just ignore it) but the reason I favour Rory's reviews is because he's the only person I've come across who I feel is completely honest and fair.
The 296 is one of the best cars I have ever driven. It's perfect and you NEVER notice the hybrid tech - that is how well it's made. Just technology, balance and power.
But is it fun. Im looking to buy a ferrari next year and because of the V6 electric move Im thinking Portofino.
@@damir4132 naah Go for 296
They New V6 sounds far betterthan the biturbo V8s
@@damir4132 did you decide which one you're getting?
Not even a comparison portofino vs 296… 296 everyday of the week…
The first one of the line is always bloody, that first Ferrari Hybrid was the SF90, I'm glad to see the 296 has the performance to back it's awesome looks!
I think the first was La Ferrari
Bloody?
@@Xayuap Yes! I thought of the La Ferrari as well, but that isn't a full production car, and also, I remember (but I'm not sure) That you couldn't drive the La Ferrari with electric power only 🤔 so that's why I didn't take the La Ferrari into my count 😅
The first Ferrari hybrid was the La Ferrari. The SF90 Stradale is the 2nd. But in the La Ferrari, the battery pack is only used to give it more power. Not a full hybrid. The SF90 is a full hybrid and you can drive it on electric alone
@@fifteen8850 Yes! I don't know were the saying comes from, but basically it means "The first one of a new kind of something is always going to have something that isn't quite right"
0:13 that needs to be put into print.
2:46 touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel 😕
This was so much better than the review uploaded on the top gear CZcams channel, keep up the good work!
I went driving today with somebody with a 458... hard to believe that sound is gone from Ferrari's future
Seems like 458 is reincarnated in a form of a Z06 😉
It seems the good looks of previous Ferrari models is gone aswell,.
The 458 sound went away when it went away, a least for NA V8s.
@@-LK34- Newer Ferrari's are more elegant and less in-your-face. The same philosophy the company originally had. I like the new cars' designs.
@@Dank-One I completely disagree, in my opinion older Ferrari such as f40, 575, 360, 458 etc are much more elegant and better looking than modern models
Cinematography in this video is just incredible 😍 Love it! Awesome review as always Rory!
I love this channel. I love the cars reviewed here. I love its content. I love the quality of the videos. I love the script. I love the presenter. Thanks, Autotrader. Thanks, Rory.
Another awesome and professionally well made content by a great team and without a doubt the best TV presentator ever Rory , this channel should have millions of subscribers and without forgetting the camera crew with their epic job , keep up the good work guys, lamine from Algeria 🇩🇿
I rarely comment, but this is my Rory appreciation message. You’re doing a fantastic job with the reviews !
❤️-Rory
Considering the PERCENTAGE these exotic supercars have in the overall CO2 pollution, forcing them to go more eco friendly is pointless while taking away what made them special!
They should be excluded from these regulations
Exactly, it does not make any sense...
It's difficult to get everyone from various regions onboard with creating special concessions for exotics. Places like California are extremely strict on emissions and it's a large market for Ferrari. Italy on the other hand will let Ferrari slide when it comes to emissions. Ferrari could get away with building V12s and V8s for years to come and they'll still get into the hands of the majority of their customers, but I think Ferrari also wants to be on the cutting edge of technology. The Chinese market for example, prefers more technology focused cars.
As motoring enthusiasts we've got to realize that we're on the cusp of a new era and celebrate the cars that we had, while embracing the cars that we will get. By changing our attitudes, I think we can appreciate cars like these more than simply being bitter about the march of progress.
@@nitesh-maharaj This isn't progress, though. The root of the argument doesn't lie with "solutions" by driving highly expensive EVs. The root of the argument is that the current mode of economy is unsustainable. That is what has led to manmade climate change.
@@BleedForTheWorld I agree with you in the sense that consumerism is what's actually doing more damage to this planet than anything else. However, good luck getting the world to change their blood lust for frivolous widgets. Speaking specifically about cars, we're able to get more speed and performance by using less energy. This is inherently progress. I wouldn't call it a solution, because then you'd have to ask what problem does a Ferrari solve. This is purely emotional and nobody has ever bought a sports car or super car for pragmatic reasons. If you were running Ferrari and climate change wasn't a thing, would the Ferrari of 2100 follow the same recipe of the Ferrari of 2022? In fact let's step further back and ask, would you still have a naturally aspirated V8 / V12?
@@nitesh-maharaj I mean, if we're going to get to the root of it again, Ferrari and other luxury brands exist for the elite and most wealthy people on the planet. I don't blame the hazard on consumerism. We live in the society of the spectacle, after all. This is connected to the framework that allows people that could never afford a Ferrari to desire one in the first place. The other part of my statement didn't include the energy consumption of cars relative to their performance increase. We all know that horsepower numbers sell. That's also part of the spectacle.
I think 0:13 sums up Rory's and autotraders quality of presenting / script writing/ filming and producing 😀👍
That was one of the best reviews I’ve seen in a while… great cinematography, lovely storytelling and ace presenting Rory. Truly inspiring stuff guys! 🔥🔥
Hands down best automotive videos, youtube or otherwise. Keep up the great work Rory 👍
AutoTrader car reviews are the absolute best. Incredible shots, audio on point, the videos do an amazing job at evoking emotion. I recall stumbling upon the huracan evo video over a year ago and being totally surprised at the level of car review to be coming from a brand like auto trader and not just a car review person.
Hats off to Rory, absolutely incredible writer/presenter, been a fan since said Huracan video!
I love your reviews. Besides the amazing camera work...your vids are not too long but long enough to keep us glued. Good job AT!
this is the most beautiful ferrari since the 458, though the taillights don´t look too nice
I kept exclaming how AMAZING it looks!
Thank you for that detailed walk around, Rory.
This may be one the BEST reviews ever, but the video making and editing is remarkable.. Stunning.. Video crew, really well done!!!
When Rory said “ this is the sound of progress “ and was a Ferrari in complete silence.
Silence never spoken so loudly.
Way to drive the wheels off it Ror! You really had it grabbing for grip. Great comments on it's capabilities. Reminds me of a short wheel base 458. Really like how they complimented the tame engine with a supercapacitor kers for ultra performance.
Top review as always Rory 👍 … and that is one impressive car in both looks and performance 😳
I don't know if I'd want a Ferrari without the famous Ferrari sound
Well done Rory and team - this was a great piece of film. Awesome.
When the F430 came out nearly 2 decades ago, I thought it was the pinnacle of cutting-edge technology. But compared to the 296GTB, it is light years behind.
In two decades you will be saying the same thing about this car and whatever Ferrari builds by then.
However driving the 430 will give you a feeling this car won't give you... the is more raw, you'd be lucky to find a manual 430 ... that's even better
Love your Car Reviews, Rory you are truly the total package in giving us your true opinion if we should buy ourselves or let others waste their money. I for one will Buy this one ☝️ my money is on the way to the nearest dealership .
Needs more of the 250LM styling in the front. Imagine, a new, hybrid Ferrari, but more classic look. Not like a 458 or 488. V6? For 250,000+ hell no.
Dope video, as always. Yes!
Most supercars of today now going for V6. There are still V8 around, but not as many as before.
You have over 800 hp, no need for a big and heavy v8. Also with a v8 it would basically be a sf90.
@@rainys8223 I remember when we used to call V12's and V10's big and heavy, now it's V8's, swap out the big heavy V8 for a big heavy hybrid system. XD
Even if this cost 500K will take it over SF90, I have saw the car and heard it in person, it's miles better sounding than SF90, the car actually technologically more advanced than SF90, its RWD setup while over 100KG lighter than SF90, it's made to be playful than just make numbers..... The engine revs higher than all current V8 Ferraris also
@@TRX25EX eh, it’s a toss up for me. Either way they’re very good options imo
Thanks rory for such an epic review of this beast machine u stand out from the crowd of u tubers world u make autotrader popular u r in different league mate and what a car Ferrari nailed it 👍 love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Y'all need to speed up the delivery of these videos Rory, I've watched your entire AutoTrader catalogue Lmao. Another great video, love the work you and the team have put in.
6:23 The engine cover reminds of the '90 Testarossa and I love it.
They’ve absolutely smashed it. One of the best looking Ferraris of late!
I just want to take a moment to say that Autotrader has the highest production quality of ANY youtube car channel I have seen. Great work!
The quality of the cinematography at 5:20 was so mind boggling I had to go back and move from 1080 to 1440p to do justice to it 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Already I love this car :D. It sorta looks like a shrunken SF90 with hints of Ford GT :). This thing is a lot more powerful than the new Mclaren Artura :). This will be a awesome review 🙂👍. You are epic Rory :)
Don't forget the Artura isn't the competitor, it replaces the 570 series not the 720.
@@neilkinsey8523 the sf90 is in competition with the 720 and yes this is in direct competition with the artura. Same cylinders/displacement, similar pricing, both lower end of the brand's fleet, only difference is this is much better lol
@@recca7 please do a basic internet search before posting, the SF90 is hundreds of thousands more expensive than the 720 and the Artura is much cheaper than this. The 720's replacement will be the competitor. Oh, and the Artura hasn't been released yet so to say anything is better than it is just baseless 🤦🏼
@@recca7 the Artura is a base mclaren and is in no competition with the 296. Ferrari said that the 296 will sit along side the the F8 and are at a similar price point. Whereas the artura is a 570s replacement, where it competes with more “budget” supercars
@@neilkinsey8523 exactly the replacement for the 720, but it's in that class because Ferrari didn't have that. Yea you could say the 488 was supposed to compete, but it was just no where as powerful plus the 720 costed more, so it's kind of like the current situation where the sf90 costs more, but the replacement for 720 will be in a similar ball park. And yes it's a baseless claim, but it's also called trolling 🙃
Looks pretty understeery on track, seems Ferrari catering to new customers with this car
Old enough to remember when supercars of the era would immediately missile-lock a telephone pole if you got careless
Might be because of the ev system that adds extra weight.
It's playful car, you can easily get rid of understeer on it, not to mention the new ABS evo system that makes you tail brake with ease, it's very playful chassis according to guys who drove it
Rory told us, the tyres were hot, and not in a good way.
🤣🤣 Rory is just the absolute best, truly all encompassing! The humour and pizazz is always such a joy to watch. Autotrader, you guys really won with having him at your lead reviewer.
What is the cable connected to the helmet do?
Great channel, thank you.
I've been looking forward to seeing where this stacks up in the battle of the new V6 supercar engines. And as much as I'm not the absolute biggest fan of Ferrari, I will say I'm impressed. They could make that front end look a smidge better though.
I straight up don't like it , always been a ferrari fan up until 430/599 . There new styling is just not nice in my opinion and they've gone from being the elite and most desirable marque to being just another brand of mass produced expensive cars .
You video was released exactly the same time as Topgear. Yours is actually better. Not as rock & roll popcorn action. More enjoyable
Great vidoe again team! Thanks, Rory! Is it me or did the yellow one have a look of GT40 about it?
This is the best video on this car by a country mile, well done Rory and team, keep up the good work.
Made me a little sad to see that Rory didn't get a fair shake at Top Gear....I always thought he was underused....excellent review.... the best I've seen on the 296 GTB
I have to say, I love it! Looks beautiful, and they’ve managed to bring a hint v12 noise out of that v6, albeit a little muted due to the turbos. The price though 🥴
ur car reviews are the best bro love ur work
Another class act from rory 👏🏽 keep up the good work!
Rory delivers a better review than Top Gear.... Who appear to have lost their quality in presenting!
While I hope there can be a future where we can still drive and buy petrol cars with advancements in renewable technologies like biofuels, honestly I think I’ll eventually be okay with even the most exclusive cars going all electric. Just so long as in its place, designers can show much more freedom with their designs being materialised, both in looking back to the past for classic lines and challenging standards with more exotic and striking choices. Love your work Rory and all the film crew from Autotrader that makes this possible, really liked the cinematography used to capture the car on those beautiful roads, stellar review
Beautiful car and great review as always.
Shout out to the film crew. The cinematography of these videos is Oscar worthy. Well done!
That intro 🔥 👌 😍 love u bits rory keep it coming
You make some of the best reviews! Amazing!
I would go for the F8 still
Looks great...lets see what this one can do miles down the road
This is the 6th review I've watched, from all the Top CZcamsrs so how is it that you've all got different performance figures for the same car at the same test at the same time.....Madnesss..!!!
The thumbnail *"Evolve or die"* is sick love the slogan
Am i the only one who is missing the exhaust noise from the Ferrari review 😢
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow! just when I thought the Roma was my fave, now this one too! Roma for the weekday and 296 for the weekend!
Always enjoy your reviews!
i think it would be very reasonable for super-sports vehicles to be excluded from ice regulations as they present less than a tenth of all vehicles on sale, a wonderful solution would be to require basic commuters to be required as electrical and leaving the ice for spirited sports cars and their enthusiast.
Because sports car enthusiasts want to be beaten on the straight by family sedans?
Awesome car, though a part of me feels they should've called it a dino since it's a v6 and for old time's sake
The cinematography in this video is top notch, really aesthetic. Rory is at the top of his game lately.
Beautiful review!
This production quality of this review is astonishing. It rivals BBC content from serious documentaries.. great work!
What an absolute marvel
Im convinced 50% of the motivation behind this video was as an excuse to let Rory touch every panel on this monster of a Ferrari.
How could you not tho?
gwaud daamm. great cinematography , great composition, great editing and as always the great Rory
Very good review... Compliments!!
This thing sounds better than the 488/F8 for me...and 830 hp allow insane levels of performance.
The price though 💔 😭
It’s a Ferrari not a Ford. How else do you expect it to be priced?? 🤦🏽♂️
@@MrVroom1 it does kinda look like a Ford lol
@@futurehofer1564 ford looks like 250 LM
Interesting - I didn't like the sound at all
Why no focus on the engine sound Rory? You’ve really missed a trick here, as this is what potential owners coming from the V8’s and V12’s want to know. Ferrari themselves consider this the ‘little V12’ - such a disappointment that this has be missed from the video….
The F8 sounded pretty terrible, really (as do most European engines in this day and age). Even V12s are underwhelming. So I no longer think engine sound is as big a deal as it used to be due to gas particulate filters making everything sound bad. HOWEVER, this V6 sounds better than the F8 by a LONG way.
Judging from the little sound bites we could actually hear, it sounds like a beefed up vacuum cleaner.
@@AutoTraderTV Way better to buy something pre 2017 without the particulate filters, these cars hardly do any mileage so you would still be getting a fairly newish car but with none of the fun taken out! That’s where my money would go If I was buying a high performance sports car. Don’t get me wrong EVs nd hybrids are great for replacing the diesel hatchback but not for this!
@@AutoTraderTV a shame for you to say that since the f8’s engine sounds pretty good in a pista imo
Im a simple man, I see Rory I click...brilliant again man Gorgeous whip!
Excellent very well presented and filmed video. Thank you
The rear and interior look really nice and I am sure the driving experience is amazing, but this front end just isnt it also too many Ford GT vibes
Ferrari has let me down with most of their recent designs
Agree they are fu
Why Ford fanboys always have to find similarities in other cars instead of appreciate masterpieces like this car? Who tf cares about Ford now?
@@Simone-bk9os Ford fan boy? I dont like Fords 😂 and thats why I dont like the design of this car, I aint buying/looking at no Ferrari that looks like a Ford lol
How does that V6 sound so bloody good under all the rest of the BS?
Ferrari are absolute wizards sometimes.
Its like a half of their V12 engine so I think that explains most of the heavenly sound
Great review and video as always Rory.
I just have to say, the intro!!! Great job! 🔥🔥🔥
If a bright red Ferrari going down the road quiet is progress, I wanna go backwards.
Europe is the problem
The world is going to hell because of excessive pollution from coal and oil and yet you want to go back to annoying neighbors and dispersing toxic fumes?

@@Accountdeleted69 they should not be considered mutually exclusive.
@@Accountdeleted69 think of it as "evolving or dying"
Great review. You guys are at the top of your game right now.
Hi. Great show as always. Light up on the silliness. Thanks
What a horrible world we live in that someone is actually excited about a electric Ferrari
The same company that said they're "not interested in electric cars" :/
Didn't they say the same thing about an SUV? In the end Ferrari is a business with shareholders.
@@davidwynn6105 they did, shameless sell outs. Lambo kills it with the urus so they build the purasangue.
Rimac owns the top hypercar acceleration spot and sold the chassis to pinninfarina to make the stunning Batista twin. And now Ferrari has patents for making their own bespoke ev chassis. 😀
It’s a hybrid, not an electric car. There is a n ICE in there
@@4literv6 To be fair - as a business designed to make money Ferrari kills it. Rimac needs the acceleration or no one would touch their products and Lambo relies on a cheap VW platform to sell 5,000 SUVs a year. While Ferrari drops a $2.2M car and 599 people raise their hand and thank god for the privilege to spend their own money. Just a month before that 499 people were fortunate enough to get a $700k base convertible and 999 for a $550k coupe. Figure in $100-400k in options...they simply have a license to print money.
@@davidwynn6105 hard to argue with any of that. 👍🏻
I just find it immensely amusing in 2018 the then Ferrari CEO claimed they would NEVER make an SUV or cuv. What's the latest on that again?
Oh yes the urus becoming lambos all time best seller, and the macon is Porsches 2nd best all time selling vehicle. Although a few more years of both sales along with the new ev macon. May slid the mythical 911 down a bit on that all time sales list.
Then Ferrari says we will not make any evs, battery tech just isn't there yet. Cue the rimac nevera breaking onto the scene running mid 8s and topping out over 240mph and the stunning twin chassis car the pinninfarina Batista.
Plus the a spark owl, lotus evija, nio ep9 etc. 😀
I knew it was just a matter of time after the LaFerrari and the SF90. I thought the best I was going to be able to do in terms of environmentally friendly performance was the NSX or the new BMW without going full Electric. It will be sad to see those amazing naturally aspirated engines slowly decrease in numbers, but between this or full electric and until the next generation of environmentally efficient supercar comes along maybe a decade from now this is a very modern and welcome alternative from my point of view. Thank you Rory.
Did not realize how much of a Badman u was at driving. Looks so much fun! Another great vid
So excited. Will get mine in summer of 2023.
It's not a real ferrari, it's something else, something that lost it's soul.
The Artura and the 296 are both excellent choices in automotive hybrid technology, excellent videos on both of these great machines.
Probably the best car video and review I’ve ever watched! ❤
its not a car anymore ..its gone...no more Ferraei...a rivederci...
There goes the emotion and theatre. Like a silent opera.
Ok the air intake eating his hand was funny...rory thanks for making me smile on a sad day
Best Automotive Journalist of All Time. Best Video Host of All Time. There will be holographic reviews of spaceships in far galaxies that still can’t match this!
EV Ferrari? What’s next? Synthetic caviar? Lab grown diamonds? Pleather jackets?
I heard that toyota and yamaha developed a hydrogen powered 450 hp 5 litre V8 engine with almost zero harmful exhaust emmissions. If this gets successful maybe ferrari can put that idea in their V12s and V8s
Looks like an electric car, not Ferrari !!
dude you should have way more subscribers. Great video
Rory! This vídeo is very good! Your the best man!
This “future” is just sad, a slow slump into the elimination of true emotions for drivers.
Plaid reaction videos to accelerating in it prove otherwise. 😀
No, EV's have a lot of emotion, just not sound-wise.
@@4literv6 The plaid is a one trick pony though. I can't see anyone caring that much about the 0-60 in 5 years when every other manufacturer has caught up. Something like a naturally aspirated 911 can still put a smile on your face 20+ years later.
