2023 FERRARI 296 GTB REVIEW | THE START OF A MIND-BLOWING NEW ERA

EV Channels Review

The Ferrari 296 GTB marks a significant and electrifying new era for the iconic brand, blending a potent hybrid powertrain with a focus on driver engagement. The reviewer highlights the car's incredible complexity and performance, noting its 610kW output and a 0-100km/h time of 2.9 seconds, with a particularly impressive 100-200km/h acceleration comparable to a Golf R's 0-100. While the interior features advanced digital interfaces, the reliance on haptic controls is found to be distracting. The driving experience is praised for its agility and feedback, especially in 'Race' mode, with the new six-way sensor system enhancing driver confidence. The reviewer commends the car's ability to be driven quickly and confidently even in challenging conditions, describing it as a masterpiece and potentially Ferrari's best yet. The inclusion of an EV-only mode for urban driving and social conscience is also a notable positive.
