Many thanks @futureclassiquecars for lending us their Ferrari. Check them out on Instagram.
This is the all-new Ferrari 296 GTB - a plug-in hybrid supercar with a 3.0-litre V6 that combines with a 165hp electric motor to make 830hp and 740Nm of torque.
It’ll have no problem shooting you to over 205mph, and doing so by getting you to 60mph in just 2.9 seconds! But all that power doesn’t come cheap, with prices starting at around £240,000 - and that's before you start checking the options list!
But it's not just about the numbers; it's long, low, wide and purposeful and beautiful. See why Mat thinks this is the best Ferrari you can buy today!
But what do you think - if you were in the market for a supercar, would you be willing to consider the 296 GTB? Let us know in the comments!

The fact it can’t hold large water bottles was a deal breaker for me unfortunately
Really? If you're spending £300,000, you might find a way around that.... For me, the price. Or was that a whoooosh for me ?
Yeah same just about to head to Ferrari with my casual 300k but then heard that and changed my mind
😂Best comment
Shopping with your brain.
@Luke_3_1 Really?
The touchscreens and touch buttons are just too much in most cars these days.
And they age like milk
Not even the ignition button is physical. Sad that such an exterior doesn't have an interior as good
Even more so when it’s in an Italian hand built car made by a company owned by Fiat…..
Honestly the big red start button in old ferraris was so much better with physical buttons.
Especially VAG models 😂
Imagine if car manufacturers just listened to reviewers like Matt and made car features we actually want like physical buttons….
Redundant steering wheel buttons are mostly in play. An owner isn’t going to fiddle with the hepatic controls once desired settings are made. It’s only an issue for road testers. Also, esoteric design should be expected in this class of car, and appreciated once the car is out of production for its uniqueness.
they do, like gordon murray and his T50/T33, no touchscreens
I fear the designers are aiming at computer game enthusiasts. Ferrari interiors no longer look luxurious.

The only reason touchscreens were introduced was so we could have an interface which could change. If the buttons don't change, you don't need the compromises of touch surfaces. Buttons are not old-fashioned!!! They are instant, give physical feedback and you can find them without having to look at them and take your eyes off the road!!!
The touchscreen is kinda like electric vehicles.....not much feedback or engagement unlike combustion vehicles with buttons and shit.Its all contributing to our numbing imo
Touchscreens are crap.
@@MATTFL380 Touch screens for a lot of things is fine, it's the HVAC where dials work so much better.
@@lvthud agree.
@@MATTFL380 touchscreens can be downright expensive.
Give. Us. Physical. Buttons. BACK!
I will ALWAYS prefer buttons and switches to touch pads. Volume and AC controls should always be dials and switches. I like the gated panel for D R P and... but why not go that extra bit further and actually make it so you can slide the switches up and down.
VERY nice design!!

Ferrari engineer’s skipped 2 lines of codes as they thought every people would stop the ignition after the warning but not every people is Matt Watson 😂
Muhibur Rahman, i bet the 296 GTB costed a little more expensive than the 360 Modena.
It works. Only the warning is after the first time vehicle exit without propulsion cutoff. I guess they figure if you didn't cut it off after the first warning, it was intentional.
By missing out those two lines of code, they saved 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000002 g of weight with the missing electrons. Attention to detail all the way with Ferrari

Everything in this Ferrari 296 GTB are absolutely insane! The 296 GTB's design and performance are the best for a supercar! Definitely the Ferrari 296 GTB is one of my dreamcar!
Every car on carwow is your dream car... always say this....💤💤
Really interesting to watch this difference in breaking distance at different speeds. This would deserve a video on its own and would be nice to go a little more deep down in to this issue :)
I still think its ancestor the 458 is the most pretty modern Ferrari they've made.
Think cause that’s the last Ferrari to be styled by pinninfarina, Ferraris today still look drop dead gorgeous but the Ferrari/Pinninfarina combination made outrageously good looking cars
@blaster915 you are definitely right. Was all downhill from the 488
@@justin_dunn46not downhill
@Pierce Lawless okay let me rephrase😂 for me personally, I think 458 > 488, F8, sf90, 296 and f12 > 812. The pinninfarina designs were just really good to look at.
Id much raymther have a 458
Those unresoposive touch controls would drive me insane if I owned one of these.

@@XantoS771 "Why would anyone get a 296 when the 911 Turbo is the same kind of money" - There's absolutely no chance I would get ANY series production Porsche, if I had the chance to get the Ferrari 296 for the same money!! Porsche makes great cars, for sure but nothing they make can touch the 296.
Awesome video as always, love the car!! I thought it was interesting that the car did better on the second take of the performance test...maybe it also has to do with the tires being warmer. I watched most of drag racing videos where you guys actually warm the tires first before racing, maybe that will help in your performance reviews as well in getting a fare assessment of each car...that is if it's possible to do.

Very reminiscent of the 250LM, intentionally I think! It is a good looking car but think the 458 Speciale is the best looking modern Ferrari myself
Yes. But 296GTB is also powerful. As powerful as McLaren Senna and the McLaren F1 LM.
@@purwantiallan5089 I didn’t mention power, just talking about looks 🤷♂️
For me the best looking modern Ferrari is the 812 superfast. But this looks lovely aswell.
No way!! The 458 Speciale is not better looking than the 296; Ferrari absolutely NAILED it with this design. I think it's been decades since the last time they produced a car that beautiful!
@@zix_zix_zix erm, I said it’s my opinion, not fact
Had the opportunity to track one. Stunning performance. Hybrid operation is seamless. Sounds incredible. Hard to believe it’s a V6. Spot on about the brake by wire. If you didn’t know you would feel sure it was hydraulic.
Return to form with the styling. Looks clean and timeless and the engine sounds like their V12s.
Brilliant car! Ferrari engineering just keeps getting better & better. And how good is the styling in the engine bay? As for the options?
The ignition on honking didn't work the 2nd time cause the car thought you sat in your car and then closed the door, that's why when you did it for the 3rd time it warned since it thought you got out of the car and forgot to turn it completely off! Hope this helps!
Jaguar XJ220 to 296 GTB says HITORI DAKE NANTE ERABENAI YO!
I think part of the numbers not matching up with the quoted figures is that the car has weighted luxury options and not the hardcore lightest package. Furthermore, Ferrari likes to use their Fiorano track which is much more grippy and slightly downhill.
That sounds completely italian
So they like to cheat?💀
Also Ferrari likes to pad their numbers. They never allowed the press to test their La Ferrari against the 918 Spyder and the P1. I wonder why.
@@vladislavdimitrov4646 also making some of the other Italian cars seem pedestrian.
@@izzo2271 nope. They love to innovate.
braking distance increase from 60 -> 100 mph makes sense. kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity. a 66% increase in speed results in a 176% increase of kinetic energy (or 2.76x), which means nearly 3x the braking distance.
Is this the nicest looking ferrari since the 250GTO? Yes. Thanks Matt. Love your videos!
The amount of power they can squeeze out of these v6s nowadays is unbelievable
i suppose if you think about it, v6's now compared to the 90's are the same as modern v8's compared to the 70's. the same size engine but now they make a hell of a lot more power. it's amazing to think what's possible with just a rework of an engine
+ a couple of electric motors
Might as well get a Tesla …space tech + Elon’s genius = Win.
Probably the best sounding V6 by far!
Then u haven't heard any good v6's
@@user-vo9ct7qn2v Heard both irl and through videos. This one's simply the best sounding V6

@@user-vo9ct7qn2v The list of great sounding V6 is very short. On that list would be first-gen NSX, 2GR V6 in Lotus models, 350/370Z, VW VR6. What else is there?
I guess everyone has a preference for the best sounding 6 cylinders, but I have a weak spot for the David Brown era Astin Martins, i.e. the DB6. That sound is drop dead gorgeous and raw.
Love the number plate helping the front aero
Great review, very thorough
Got to sit in one when the local dealership brought it to the hotel I work in during a big event, I know they’re performance cars, but I never expected how sporty it would feel to sit in one. It’s so different to a normal car. Feels so low almost like a cart. Great experience

It's crazy how small it looks in the metal, but it's just an impression, because it's pretty wide in reality.
Yep. Pretty wide but pretty lovely.
If they don't overload their cars with technology and touch buttons, people will complain how stuck amd old fashioned the manufacturer is.
I prefer a healthy mix of old fashioned, with a bit of technology.
I prefer analogue speedometers, but i like and appreciate additional digital speedos like having a little screen underneath the analogue speedo.

Finally a Ferrari 296 GTB. Thank you CarWOW!
296GTB vs XJ220 vs XJR15 and McLaren Senna could be nice.
Look at how 296 have evolve over the years I just saw the 1980s 296 in garage and the design have realli improve
Great looking. Great performance. Unforgivable interior. Since I'm inside a car more than looking at it, this would be at the bottom of the Ferrari list for me.
Go and driven one, and you will change your mind.
After I trade in my 06 Mazda Tribute for $370,000 through Carwow I'll get one👍
WOW! Good luck with it man. 👍

It looks like a Miura I can't unsee that
Yes. And also performance wise it is on par with XJ220.
Its design clearly pays tribute to the legendary Ferrari 250 LM. However, its door shape reminds me of Lancia Stratos.
Hi mat, it will be great if you could do a 0-125mph on the performance cars which might be more interesting. Generally 0-60 is between 3-5secs. Just a suggestion. Thank you.

@@dannyhanley8927 hey mate! Did you get the number plate? The one I’ve seen even got literally “296” on the plate lol
@carwow and Matt please seriously consider including 100-200kph times and or 60-130mph times for cars like these. It’s a much more widely used test of speed by real car buyers. We don’t care about 0-200kph time!! We get a good indicator of that through the 1/4 mile! Other than that, another mega review! Thanks Matt
That just shows you how detached from reality they are. 100-200 is important for last 10 years .
In fact, this car is capable of completing a 1/4 mile in 9.74 seconds with a straight pipe exhaust (870hp) and better tarmac than what is currently present.
Great video Mat!😸
That twin turbo V6 is super brilliant sounding! You dont need a V12 or V8 after all! You just need a car that sounds good! Well done Ferrari!

You don't have to be just rich enough, you also have to be a previous owner of other Ferraris, and all that buys you is a place on a waiting list that could be years long, or you pay a massive premium, sometimes in the six figures, to obtain the car in the preowned market.
A Stellantis parts box special for controls. Why would you want touch controls when you’re giving it the beans? You wouldn’t know whether you’d pressed the right buttons at the time, especially as it seems so laggy.

Even with 830hp and being hybrid it still isn't as fast as the 911 Turbo S. How is there that no car ever can compete with it at the same horsepower range? What a masterpiece. Although this car is rear wheel drive and the Porsche is AWD, it still is down 180 HP. What an impressive car.
My thoughts exactly
This thing would gap the turtle s 💀
Of corse, this is a RWD car and the Turbo S is 4WD, it's like you compare the 911 Turbo S to the GT2RS(who is lighter and more powerfull than the Turbo S), we all know the Turbo S will be faster of the line but he will be smoked by the GT2RS and the 296GTB in a rolling race and in a circuit! 😉

The face is a bit bland compared to the F8 but the rear 3/4 is a great nod to the 246.
Maybe, the made the touch buttons less sensitive, as I believe people kept complaining that they are too sensitive, and people kept pressing them by accident, when turning the wheel.

I have bought one and it is fantastic...yeah it is a model I bought from a toy shop and fits perfectly in my showcase
The best one is still to come and it doesn’t have a roof👍 I’ll wait for the GTS………nice to see a good use for a ex army base.
