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.
Those two are my favorite modern Ferrari models. The 458 sounds brilliant and sounds devastating and extremely loud when fitted with an Akrapovic exhaust.
Yes, he did it on purpose. And we're the ones who will suffer818 BHP...So even though they say this is a segment on its own,it has clearly made some of their current models (erm, the F8) obsolete

The 296 looks so good. The other 2 look like pile of dog poo next to it.

Ferrari 296GTB Is the Quickest RWD Car We've Ever Tested!

"The GTB’s 60 mph run of 2.4 seconds puts it ahead of the Lamborghini Huracan STO and the McLaren Artura, a pair of rear-drive exotics that ran 2.6 seconds. Next up is the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS, which managed 2.8 seconds. But the gaps grow wide after that, with the Ferrari’s 4.7 second run to 100 mph nearly a second clear of the McLaren and Lambo, and a full 2.0 seconds up on the Porsche. At the quarter mile, the 296GTB’s 9.7 seconds at 150 mph is well clear of the next-fastest Artura, which crosses in 10.3 seconds at 140 mph."
Plus:
"Fun fact: The Ferrari SF90 Stradale holds the overall crown of 2.0 seconds to 60 mph on account of all-wheel drive and 986 combined horsepower. That initial 0.4-second 60 mph advantage over the 296GTB shrinks to two-tenths of a second at the quarter mile, at which point the SF90’s trap speed has sagged to 148 mph, which is 2 mph slower. In the end we saw 190 mph in 17.8 seconds in the 296 before we ran out of room and called it a day."

The 819-hp V-6 hybrid Ferrari sprints to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, and it's among the shortest stopping vehicles from 70 mph, too.

Here in the UK it's neck and neck in price with the F8 on the used market. Out of all Ferraris the 296 GTB would be my pick. I love the design and the cabrio is borderline indistinguishable in design from the coupe.
