DEFINING FUN TO DRIVE


The 296 GTB, an evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, represents a revolution for the Maranello-based company as it introduces the new 120° V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor capable of delivering up to 830 hp.

Ferrari 296 GTB

The 296 GTB, an evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, represents a revolution for the Maranello-based company as it introduces the new 120° V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor capable of delivering up to 830 cv. The car thus defines the idea of driving fun to provide pure excitement not only when pursuing maximum performance but also during everyday driving.

COMPACTNESS AND MODERNITY

LIGHTNESS AND COMPACTNESS

The front has a pure, polished, compact volume. The 296 GTB’s front end is more tapered than in previous models of similar proportions. Seen from above, the crest of the front mudguard outlines the perimeter of the front and creates a theme that breaks up the front light clusters; the headlight lens are on the outside, while the inside features the DRLs under which the brake air intake is located.

ITALIAN STYLE AND TRADITION

The 296 GTB seems to spring from a single pencil stroke, without optical effects of lightening or stark chromatic contrasts. The car has a unique identity, rewriting the rules while rediscovering the authentic principles of a distinctly Italian design. Formal cleanliness and clear-cut lines enhance the sportiness of this worthy heir to a philosophy deeply rooted in Ferrari tradition. Its modernity refers back to cars of the 1960s with their simplicity and functionality, including the 1963 250 LM, which provided notable elements of inspiration such as the cut of the “B” pillar, the rear haunches and the truncated tail.

COMPACTNESS AND MODERNITY
The design of the 296 GTB redefines the identity of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined berlinetta, giving the car a compact, modern and original line. Its short wheelbase and monolithic appearance make it the most compact berlinetta from Maranello of the last decade. Having abandoned the typical fastback berlinetta layout, the Ferrari Style Centre focused on creating a cabin set within a powerful volume. This was the result of the short wheelbase and aspects such as muscular mudguards, a visor roof, flying buttresses and a brand new vertical rear screen.

A TRIUMPH OF MODERNITY

The rear is dominated by a ring-shaped flying buttress that houses the engine compartment cover, developed on an unusual three-dimensional glass surface. The central part of the car stands out with a body-colored element that represents a style theme dear to the Maranello marque. Another characteristic of the 296 GTB is the truncated tail that enhances its compactness. The tail incorporates a horizontal element that encloses lights and an integrated spoiler.

ACTIVE MOBILE WING

The active mobile spoiler stands out at the rear. Its philosophy is opposite to that of previous Ferrari berlinettas. In the past, the flaps switched from the HighDownforce (HD) to LowDrag (LD) configuration to hit top speed on the straight, while on the 296 GTB the active splitter aims to boost downforce. The spoiler is integrated into the bumper; when maximum downforce is not necessary, it is hidden in the tail, but as soon as the acceleration exceeds a given threshold, it raises. The LaFerrari-inspired active spoiler integrated into the rear bumper allows the 296 GTB to generate a high level of rear downforce when required: the equivalent of a maximum of 360 kg at 250 km/h in high-downforce configuration with the Assetto Fiorano package. This results in a 100 kg increase in rear downforce, increasing driving fun in performance conditions and minimizing stopping distances.

Ferrari 296 GTB
THE DEBUT OF THE TEA-TRAY
The use of the bumper to generate downforce increases the cooling capacity of the underbody, making it unnecessary to adopt active mechanisms at the front. The most distinctive element of the front is the so-called tea-tray; the lateral arrangement of the cooler assembly frees up a central volume in which this element is integrated. Based on GT competition experience, the device allows the creation of a field of overpressure that counteracts the suction on the car’s underbody.
Ferrari 296 GTB - Aerodynamics
A NEW PARADIGM
Performance cars are based on a perfect optimization of volume, whose performance elements blend with the styling themes, enhancing Ferrari’s signature combination of technology and aesthetics. The aerodynamics of the 296 GTB provides  more downforce than previously in LD (Low Drag) configuration, with a further 100 kg added thanks to the active HD (High Downforce) spoiler. The result is handling, unprecedented braking performance and driving excitement.
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS
The rear styling marks a clean break with the Ferrari coupé tradition, opting for a gap between the roof and the rear trunk typical of spider models. This stylistic direction makes the 296 GTB unique and recognizable; at the aerodynamic level, it has allowed Ferrari to introduce a wing profile that surmounts the roof and extends into two side fins that delimit the rear hood.
Ferrari 296 GTB - Aerodynamics
INNOVATION TO POWER
The 296 GTB breaks into the sports berlinetta segment with radical and innovative aerodynamic choices. The turbocharger in the “Vee” of the crankcase improves thermal management of the engine compartment and electrical components. This radical shift is also apparent in the reversal of Ferrari’s active aerodynamic paradigm of recent years: on the 296 GTB, an active device is not there to manage drag, but to generate additional downforce.

ADVANCED CONTROL FUNCTIONS


ADVANCED CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The dynamic development of the 296 GTB aimed to increase the car’s performance, provide class-leading driving fun, and improve the usability of its performance and hybrid layout. A range of new components has been developed, including the TMA actuator and 6w-CDS body sensor, plus features such as the first-ever ‘ABS evo’ controller and grip estimator integrated with the EPS.
Ferrari 296 GTB - Dynamics
WHAT IS FUN TO DRIVE?
  1. Lateral: response to steering wheel controls, feeling of rear-end responsiveness, ease of driving
  2. Longitudinal: rapidity and constancy of the throttle response curve
  3. Shifting: shift times, feeling of ratio progression with each gear change
  4. Braking: feel of the brake pedal in terms of travel and response (efficiency and modulation)
  5. Sound: level and quality in the cabin and graduated rise in the engine sound as revs increase
Ferrari 296 GTB - Dynamics
AGILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS

The chassis has a 50 mm shorter wheelbase than previous mid-rear engine Ferrari berlinettas, which improves dynamic agility. Also noteworthy are the revamped brake-by-wire system and ‘Aero’ brake caliper, as well as SMC-FRS magnetorheological dampers.

The new ABS control module, which is integrated with the new 6w-CDS sensor, allows the grip limits of the rear tyres to be pushed still further, makes for greater repeatability of stopping distances and thus improving performance when turning into corners.

Meticulous attention was paid to reducing weight to ensure the car’s balance and delicacy of handling: la 296 GTB is class-leading in regards to the overall weight-to-power ratio: 1.77 kg/cv.



Ferrari 296 GTB - Dynamics
EXPLOSIVE POWER, SKILLED CONTROL
The usability of performance is critical on the 296 GTB. For example, electric driving in eDrive mode enables the car to reach a speed of 135 km/h without the aid of the internal combustion engine. In the Hybrid position, the internal combustion engine supports the electric motor only when higher performance is required. Stopping distances on dry surfaces have been significantly shortened by the new ‘ABS evo’ and its integration with the new 6w-CDS sensor, ensuring greater repeatability of the braking action.

THE REFINED FACE OF THE DIGITAL ERA

    THE REFINED FACE OF THE DIGITAL ERA
    The car’s cabin is built around the full-digital interface introduced on the SF90 Stradale. However, if the SF90 Stradale highlighted advanced technology and a break with the past, the 296 GTB seeks to assimilate the technical content into a refined look. The result is pure and characterized by considerable elegance, as well as being consistent with the design of the exterior.
    DRIVER AND CO-DRIVER
    Most of the instruments are concentrated on the driver’s side. The cockpit is created from a break in the upholstery of the dashboard from which the steering wheel and instrument panel emerge, centrally supported by two visible buttresses that converge in the dashboard. The figure is closed by two lateral surrounds that cover a large area. The passenger area has a minimalist look; the display offers the chance to participate in the journey, almost as a co-driver.

    Assetto Fiorano

    TRACK SET-UP
    The 296 GTB’s performance can be further boosted by the Assetto Fiorano set-up, equipped with aerodynamic and weight reduction features, including the Multimatic dampers derived from GT racing with fixed settings optimized for track use, the high-load carbon-fiber aids on the front bumper, and the extensive use of lightweight materials on interiors and exteriors. The structure of some components, including the door panel, has been totally redesigned to save more than 12 kg. Finally, in addition to the optional rear screen in ultra-light Lexan®, the Assetto Fiorano set-up also features an optional livery inspired by the 250 LM. This starts with the front bumper’s background which embraces the central grille and outlines its contours, continuing first on the hood and then longitudinally up to the roof and rear spoiler.
