How the hybrid powertrain works
The electric motor sits between the V6 and the gearbox and can drive the rear wheels alone in eDrive mode. It also starts the engine and recovers energy under braking. Ferrari lists up to 25 km of electric range with a full 7.45 kWh battery.
The car’s eManettino selector offers eDrive, Hybrid, Performance and Qualify modes, which change when the V6 runs and how aggressively battery energy is used.
Performance
Ferrari quotes 2.9 seconds for 0-100 km/h and a top speed over 330 km/h. Independent magazines have recorded quicker 0-60 mph times with their own methods, so do not compare factory and magazine numbers directly.
Size and weight
At 4,565 mm long with a 2,600 mm wheelbase, the 296 GTB is short for a mid-engine supercar. Weight figures vary by source and options; the 1,470 kg figure is a dry weight with optional lightweight equipment, so ask for the kerb weight of the exact car.
Assetto Fiorano and related models
The optional Assetto Fiorano pack is the track-focused version, with weight savings and added downforce. Ferrari also sells the open-top 296 GTS and the more powerful 296 Speciale. The Speciale is a separate model with higher output, so do not mix its figures with the GTB.

What to check before buying
- Pricing varies by market, options and model year, so ask a Ferrari dealer for a current quote.
- Run the VIN for open recalls. NHTSA has listed recalls on certain 296 models.
- Confirm whether the car has the Assetto Fiorano pack, since weight and downforce figures differ.
