296 [2021-] [Hot!] Ferrari 296 GTB - New V6 Hybrid Supercar for 2022


The Ferrari 296 (Type F171) is a two-seater, offered as a GTB coupe and a GTS folding hard-top convertible. It is a plug-in hybrid with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and its powertrain combines a twin-turbocharged 120-degree bank angle V6, with an electric drive fitted in between the engine and gearbox. The 296 can be driven in electric-only mode for short distances, to comply with use in urban zero-emission zones.
Very good considering the DA of 3200. I think 7.8 0-130 is doable for sure with 1000 DA or below.

0-200 was 7.47 (4.44 100-200) and 1/8 mile was 6.65 at 116.5 mph.

Awesome races. 9.7x for the 296 is a great run. And that extra 250 horsepower is really something to see for the Vette. Put the wing back on the Vette and I’d be curious how much closer it is.
 
ZR1 is very fast and amazing for the price, but not unexpected; they just used a way larger engine.
296 is the base version, there will be more extreme versions but price wise in a different galaxy.
 
I’m sure many of you have seen the extremely upsetting video of the crash Vince Zapella on social media - a firm reminder as we watch and debate “which is faster/better” that not all the latest stability control systems, advanced CCB technology, or grippy-est tires will overcome excessive speeding on public roads. RIP to him and the passenger.

Some reports in the media state that he was in an SF90. These are wrong. It’s a 296 GTS, which is why you’ve posted it here.

It’s a tragedy and my sympathies to the deceased’s families. Unfortunately, such videos are becoming more and more prevalent, though seldom of a fatality. I’m not going to criticise. “Let he who is without…”
That said, I feel it should be mandatory for purchasers of such high performing cars to take regular situational awareness and advanced driver training courses. Showboating on public roads is an accident waiting to happen. So many new cars are just too damn fast for Joe Public.

I saw the grainy video… we REALLY need stronger legislation to curb driving weapons like these at high speed especially when most of the people buying or experiencing them have no idea how to control the thermo nuclear device they commandeer.

Problem is that a lot of EV cars are maybe not getting close to a 296GTB but still way to powerful... I think those should be a greater source of worry than the few high performance cars (though I tend to agree with you on the above, don't misunderstand me).
 
They were definitely going way too fast, it seems the driver slammed the brakes, the road is slightly curved and surface is bad so the Ferrari under steered. Sad news.
