Ferrari reveals new mid-rear-engined berlinetta spider: 296 GTS

Defining the Concept of Driving Thrills, Including Top Down

Ferrari revealed the 296 GTS, the latest evolution of Maranello’s mid-rear-engined two-seater berlinetta spider.

The car flanks the 296 GTB in redefining the whole concept of fun behind the wheel, guaranteeing pure emotions not just when pushing the car to its limits, but also in day-to-day driving situations.

The car uses the new 663 cv 120° V6, coupled with an electric motor capable of delivering a further 122 kW (167 cv). This is the first 6-cylinder engine installed on a road-going spider sporting the Prancing Horse badge. It unleashes its 830 cv total power output.

The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system guarantees it is an incredibly usable car as well as cutting pedal response times to zero and delivering a 25km range in all-electric eDrive mode.

The RHT (retractable hard top) guarantees exceptional occupant comfort. With the roof stowed it features a sleek, sporty design and with the roof up, the silhouette remains very similar to that of the 296 GTB. The lightweight RHT takes a mere 14 seconds to retract or deploy at speeds of up to 45km/h.

The 296 GTS is also available with the Assetto Fiorano package, which includes lightweight features and aero modifications.
