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

You're just being obstinate. You need more berating from @Gianclaudio ...

Yeesh, you make me sound like a raging masochist when I am merely just curious. (I am more amused how a throw-away comment has taken on a life its own.)

Putting my proclivities aside, there are elements I find odd and unflattering, like the front and rear lights, the way it looks like a spider but isn't, the lack of variety when it comes to wheel designs as what is currently offered looks rather willowy and lacks any aggression. Also, while thoroughly modern, the current Ferrari interior design lacks any charm. It certainly preferable to, say, the MC20, but I don't necessarily have a desire to want to get inside.

I am sure another element to all this is just being more jaded with the passage of time.

The shape of the side window is the worst part.

Italia style C-pillar/window would have been so much better.

 

[constalation]

I'm just a fool for understated elegance. Imagining the 296 GTB in a dark, glossy metallic green, blue, grey or brown is so enticing.

Odd...I don't really care for red Ferrari road cars-and never really have.

How about dark blue with a red strip in the middle? Quite like the blue fp2 monza.

you know what is funny? I really like the 458. but this comparison shows how much more I like the side profile of the 296.

one of the most beautifully designed mid-rear engine cars in recent times. now I do not even care about NSX II.

a more GT oriented interior though, as the 992, LC or Roma would have been preferable imo.

The car looks gorgeous. They should really make a cheaper, hybrid-less version for ~200k to compete with 911 Turbo S.

Oh, I love that configuration. But sans the Cavallino Rampante emblem, please.

It really is just a smaller SF90. Pass.

Poor man's SF90?

If you couldn't get the SF90, this is for you at half the price.

Indeed he does, and I feel obligated.

I find it quite beautiful. Actually, it seems to be inspired by the Lancia Stratos (Ferrari/Dino V6 powered, btw)

Yes indeed !

Grigio Silverstone Metallic exterior color and interior in Bordeaux color with Daytona seats.

It must be very impressive in person. Low and wide.
Some people from the Fchat say that the 812 most likely won't have a replacement. What a shame if that's true. I would really love to see a big Gt car with the new design language.
Roma is good, but its rear looks too short from some angles.
Don't know why they need Roma and the Portofino at the same time.

That more wraparound windscreen is glorious too. Terrific and clever effort, Ferrari, for ensuring that your new generation sports car is so distinctively good to look at. It's a cleaner, much less fussy design than SF90 and yet is still intriguing and interesting to look at which is quite a feat. Love it. Ultimate garage pt. II, Marcus, Ultimate garage pt. II...

i find it closer to the 250LM

The Roma is very nice indeed. Except...:

Somehow, its' front wings appear a bit "pudgy". Too much mass between the crest of the wheelarch openings and that of the wings perhaps ? But otherwise, it's brilliant.

My sentiments exactly...I honestly think this is the best looking mid-engined Ferrari since the 458...

One thing I am still unclear about, though, is the fact that Ferrari insist this is a brand new segment and not a replacement for the F8. Wonder how they intend to keep this car on the market without eating away the sales of the F8, which is practically made obsolete by the 296 GTB

 

[Levi68]

Ferrari never have a replacement. Every Ferrari is unique and stands on its own. That is their marketing, also why no Ferrari is called the same way.

The rear reminds me of the Testarossa and 512TR/M for some reason.
