    The Ferrari 296 GTS is the first mainstream plug-in hybrid Ferrari convertible and one that carries a huge weight of expectation. It’s Coupe equivalent, the 296 GTB, is brilliant - so can the Spider deliver the open-top experience without compromise? James Dennison is your guide.

      ​@@michaeltrumph121this is phev bud. Not full electric. This can compete with a plaid on drag race and do some good track times too. Also has great mileage even though I doubt any Ferrari owner cares about that. Its a good fun car .

    I have to say, full credits to everyone involved in the making of this video. The editing, camera angles and soundtrack were all top-class. It’s the best car review I’ve seen in some time.
    Perhaps it was helped by the fact that this 296 GTS in Blu Corsa is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. Definitely at the top of my list of dream cars to own. Ferrari have smashed it with this one.

  • @craigjenkins3854
    @craigjenkins3854 Před rokem +12

    The Ferrari 296 GTS must rate as one of Maranello s finest. Based on the 296 GTB the GTS has gained some weight due to chassis strengthening. Though the extra weight hasn't effected the handling nor the performance. There seam's to be no stopping the Prancing Horse from Maranello.

    Possibly this level of performance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Which is precisely what some competitors have kept in mind. Isn’t all this (very impressive) technology a bit pointless for driving on open roads at reasonable speeds ? When the most and the best and the fastest are barely enough, things start to look like an entrapment.
