Its styling is pronounced, but not overpowering. Its technology is intuitive, but not overbearing. Its power is ludicrous, yet somehow refined and controllable. There really isn’t a lot the 296 GTB can’t do, and is a more than worthy model to continue Ferrari’s iconic GTB name. It’s a car of firsts, the first Ferrari fitted with a V6 since the 1970s, with the shortest wheelbase of any Ferrari Berlinetta since the 360 Modena, giving it agility unlike any other modern-era supercar. Sure, the SF90 might have more power at your disposal, but the 296’s 819 horsepower isn’t exactly short-changing anyone, boasting more horsepower than two 360 Modena V8s combined.
When it comes to styling, the 296 GTB is a fantastic looking machine. It’s a car that conveys nods to Ferrari’s historical icons, the narrow windscreen and 250 LM-inspired side vents ensure this relatively compact supercar makes its presence known. With thousands of colour combinations on offer from the Atelier, including a £25,000 Assetto Fiorano pack available, there are plenty to choose from within the Classic Driver Market!
