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

[empower77]

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).

I did not single out hi-po cars.. I’m looking at you Hummer EV.

Great! This GT3 kit is absolutely ridiculous, but it's very entertaining nevertheless

Nuts that a Chiron is easier to repair that this car. Hybrids are such a green wash. This level of irreparability should be illegal.

Even a 20mph accident can be enough for this car to be written off.

It’s not irreparable. It is irreparable, more or less, without OEM support.

But also, who cares? We’re judging the greatness of cars by their ability to be repaired off salvage?

What greatness are you referring to? I don't see it anywhere.

Like Luw said, particularly THAT should be illegal.

If cars are more difficult to repair, insurance companies write them off. This results in higher premiums for everyone else.

Some hybrid supercars are economical to repair now but let's say in 10-15 years they are worth $100k. They will become landfill material as fewer people want to own them outside of warranty and risk bills that are $20-40k.

This doesn't matter if you are rich, buy new and replace within three years. However it's bad for the economy, environment and owners if very small accidents can render a car to be written off.

Inevitably there will need to be legislation ensure that EVs and hybrids are less environmentally friendly and sustainable than ICE cars.

It’s not in their interest to make these cars easy to repair or to offer reasonably priced extended warranties, which is a big part of why the 296 and SF90 depreciate so heavily.

I’ve been looking at pre-owned 296s, and some are already close to being out of warranty. Owning one without factory coverage is quite risky, especially given the complexity of the hybrid system. For example, a 2022 car will see its hybrid battery warranty expire in early 2027.

Yes, you can extend the coverage, roughly 7k for two years of general warranty and about 15k for the hybrid system but that’s a steep cost for a pre-owned car priced under 200k.

Owning a 296 and being in the community with supercar owners, depreciation + maintenance are the last things on these owners minds. Presence and performance is the main priority here.

I'm not saying this about myself, but generally owners purchasing these vehicles dont really think much about these things from my observations...
