296 [Hot!] Ferrari 296 GTB - New V6 Hybrid Supercar for 2022

[martinbo]

Roma doesn’t hold a candle to 296 GTB. The latter is easily the most beautiful Ferrari in the last quarter of the century.

Design is clearly subjective. I think the 296 is one of the worst looking Ferrari's is a long time. The Roma is the only prancing horse that Ive loved over the last few years. Way more misses in the design department of Ferrari than hits over the last decade.

I find the 296 a little bit too wide for its relatively compact size,that said I havent seen one in person so I could be so wrong.

It’s an illusion due to the fact that the car is so low. On the road it feels no wider than my F430.

I think it felt quite small on the road.

My rank (fwiw ) of the middle engined junior Ferraris:

F355
308/328
296
458
348
F8
488
.
.
F430

360

Not including SF90 which is no longer “entry mid engine” Ferrari, nor the 246 Dino, cause tec wasn’t born as a Ferrari

Interesting. This would be my (exterior looks based) ranking of "junior" Ferraris:

458
F355
308
328
488
348
F430
360
296
F8

 

[martinbo]

My order would be exactly the same as @Gianclaudio

It is quite evident how the 360 really is starting to be forgotten…Even the 348 held out for longer in terms of popularity (looks based, as you suggested)

The Ferrari headlights of the transition era from retractable to fixed aren’t nice: F50, 360, 550 and even worse with 575 (and the 512M abomination), and I dislike how boxy and tall the rear of the 360 is, and in general, the design is too soft and bland without being properly elegant

TheF430 improved things, but the rear looks even higher. The 458 was a massive design jump, and yet having so many nice curves.

What are the prospects of retractable headlights ever returning on a Ferrari or Honda?

Absolutely none.

They were prohibited long time ago

 

[WBarnes]

They were prohibited long time ago

Legally prohibited?

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

Legally prohibited?

Yes. Don't remember the reason exactly, but it was maybe something connected that if there is frost you can not use them in an emergency situation, like entering a tunnel for example.

Does that just cover new cars or used as well?

Legislation passed after those cars were produced I wouldn't think would be backwards compatible. It'll be from the date it became Law moving forwards. Atleast that's my take.

I thought that, but surely the stated risk exists regardless of age?

It possibly does but the manufacturers are only liable for the rules and regulations of the day and adhering to those alone.
