Ferrari 296 GTS Spider F1 DCT – 03/2023

General Overview:
The 2023 Ferrari 296 GTS is the open-top expression of Ferrari’s revolutionary plug-in hybrid lineup, combining thrilling performance with the elegance of a retractable hardtop. Dressed in Rosso Imola pearlescent with a two-tone exterior, this convertible delivers all the signature emotion of a mid-engined Ferrari with open-air excitement. Enhanced by a wealth of carbon fibre upgrades and tailored details, the 296 GTS blends luxury, precision, and unmistakable Italian style.

Performance and Handling:
Beneath the sculpted lines of the 296 GTS lies a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor, generating a breathtaking total of 819 horsepower. Mated to an F1 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, it launches from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. The Fiorano Performance Pack Extended sharpens dynamics through revised suspension geometry, performance tyres, and additional carbon enhancements. With Magnaride adaptive dampers, carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM), and Ferrari’s electronic side slip control (eSSC), the car feels equally at home on a twisting road or racetrack. It rides on a mix of forged painted and diamond 20-inch alloy wheels, secured with titanium bolts and accented by black brake calipers.

Interior and Features:
The cockpit is all about immersive driving. It features carbon fibre racing seats, a carbon fibre dashboard, instrument cluster, and a steering wheel with integrated shift lights. The seats are ventilated, fully electric, and adjustable for ideal comfort and support. Embroidered Ferrari logos, a carbon fibre trunk base, and carbon fibre tunnel trim elevate the bespoke interior. Technology highlights include a digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth audio streaming, DAB digital radio, and a wireless charging pad.

Exterior Design:
The retractable hardtop opens in just 14 seconds, seamlessly transforming the silhouette while maintaining the coupe’s purity of form. Aerodynamic details such as the carbon fibre rear diffuser, underdoor panels, and wheels reduce drag and enhance high-speed stability. The two-tone paint scheme in Rosso Imola further highlights the curves and aggression of this hybrid supercar.

Safety and Assistance Systems:
Safety and convenience are ensured with ABS Evo, electronic stability and traction controls, tyre pressure and temperature monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and multiple airbags. Keyless entry and start, along with the sophisticated vehicle dynamic systems, offer full confidence whether cruising or pushing the limits.
