The 296 GTB is a Ferrari that redefines speed with electrifying poise.
The 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB is a visceral experience wrapped in stunning Italian design. This car is the quickest rear-drive machine we've tested, and it doesn't just accelerate—it launches you into another dimension. The hybrid V-6 powertrain delivers an intoxicating symphony, blending traditional Ferrari notes with futuristic electric whirs. It's astonishingly easy to drive at the limit, making even a winding canyon road feel like a stroll through the park.
What surprised us most is how approachable the 296 GTB is, given its nearly incomprehensible performance. The handling is razor-sharp, and the car communicates every nuance of the road with a telepathic connection to the driver.
This Ferrari is for those who crave the thrill of speed and the elegance of a timeless design. However, be prepared for a tech overload on the steering wheel and options that could cost as much as a used Ferrari.
