I was pleasantly surprised to see they go for 120 degree V6 now, instead of the more common 90 degrees that we see in so many modern cars. The 90 just tells me it's a V8 with two cyls chopped off, and a compromise because they prioritize production costs above technical advantages. The best classic V6s are 60 degrees (Busso for example), and now finally we get 120 degrees in road cars (expensive ones, unfortunately).

Could you imagine a driver spec version of the 296? Such as having the 3.0L engine only and a gated manual…

You are absolutely correct about the side profile of this car being tremendous! Somehow i feel like we havent really gotten a "poster car" that looks this good since the 458. And i still cannot tell, if i like the looks of this or the 458 more. The 458 front end is just so beautifully crafted, all the lines (and there really aren't that many) look like they are drawn there by an artist working at a sketchpad. The front end of this still looks too much like a production car for me, the 458 looks like a pure concept we normally never get to see.

BTW, the paintjob doesn't go well on this car. The interior is even worse.

If I had the money I'd still buy a 458 and use some of the change for the complete reupholstering it will probably need by now. A 458 on track is a wonderful experience. The simplicity of the NA setup is perfect. I understand and don't oppose the changes we need to make but it does stop these hybrid cars having the desirability they used to.

Hi Jay, I have a GTS on order - I went out to Spain on one of their customer experiences and echo most of your thoughts. One thing to note, re the gearbox, I had it explained to me that it may sound like the box is taking a bit of time on the way up, but that it's actually due to the electric motor deploying in that phase "filling" - so while it may sound slow, your total accel is unaffected. Interesting tidbit I felt. Not sure of the technicalities behind it or how true it is, but it was one of the drivers sat next to me as we lapped!

Honestly, the 296's engine reminds me of the Nissan 350/370Z's V6 or the Skyline straight 6, both engines I am a fan of. And I'm willing to bet the hybrid gubbins are helping that low down torque so the ICE can still be a high revving thing, basically allowing Ferrari to have their cake and eat it as well., which is good engineering in my mind. Definitely not a fan of the colour scheme, the blue is too in the face and the wheels just make me think of hot-boys modding their Corsa C's back in the day, not sure what Ferrari were thinking aside from 'you'll definitely see it coming'. I suspect in a more traditional red or black it'll look stunning.

Thanks for doing justice to my favourite car in current Ferrari line-up. I _LOVE_ 296, it just looks stunning and sounds amazing. I even love this Maranello Concessionaires tribute livery, that Baby Blue livery and Baby Blue interior is amazing. I have yet to see the colour in which a 296 looks bad. Once I saw a Viola Hong Kong 296 Assetto Fiorano, it's gorgeous.

The V-angle is 120 degrees because that is the natural firing interval for a V6. Few manufacturers have used it in road cars because it is too wide to be packaged for RWD and FWD cars and once you’re that wide, it’s not much more to just do a boxer. Engines with different V-angles usually use split pin crankshafts which are heavier than 120 degree. 60 degrees is common because that’s about as narrow as you can go while having room for manifolds between and because simply halving 120 degrees feels good. 90 degrees is common because those engines share manufacturing tooling with the flagship V8 engines.

Love that you used footage of Number27's 308

Thanks Jay for the insight, as ever. Have had a berlinetta on order about 7 months, been told roughly 2 years to go. We share the same ethos re: colors. Not one shade of black on mine, went for viola Hong Kong (purple) on cuoio, even the carpets, with the requisite two tone stitching to match the yellow calipers. Daytona seats. My back is shit. Anyway, I’ve been very nervous about my omission of the AF package but 1) the car is already shockingly dear, (90K more than my soon arriving technica!) and 2) the bumpy road button plus lift makes the car so useable on our sorry American roads especially in nyc. I feared it would be a blunder in the vein of Porsche Weissach omission but you’ve quelled my concerns. Harry also felt it spoiled the car. Appreciate all the work beyond words. A Jay approved car is now a requisite for me. If you, Harry, Chris, and or/Clarkson stand by it, that’s a damn good sign. Seems this one’s a future 458 in terms of universal adoration. Cheers.

Great review. The car is undoubtedly brilliant, quick and it of course has the right badge. Maybe it’s how expensive it is, I just don’t want one, I’m not sitting here dreaming of one. For £300k + I’d buy a 458/488 for fun and a 911 turbo S as a daily driver ..

The engine has a nice, playful little howl. Perfectly fits the current day and age. Though it has make you nostalgic for the mechanical rasps, grunts and rumble from the classic V8 and V12 engines.

Hate the colour combo Jay but your films as always magnificent,I don’t know why I love watching films like this I love I know I’ll never have one but brilliant all the same.

As usual great review, James. Inexplicably bad colour combo aside a very desirable package. Premium bond - where is thy win…?

I absolutely love the way this Ferrari looks. Just so nice and exotic, would absolutely love to own one of ever get the chance

When it first came out I thought GT 40 it’s around the door roof etc! It’s very cool for sure!

I concur with the GT-40 looks comparison. It looks great from side!

As someone who is unlikely to ever own a car in this category, the question I always have is whether ownership and performance (ignoring financial investment ) of a car which costs £250k delivers notably more than a car that costs, for example, £120k. As someone who actually has to consider money, maybe i'm totally missing the point and cars in this category are for people who needn't make such considerations. But I can't help but think i'd rather have 2 Supercars than one. If there was such a thing as a blind taste test for cars (eg; you own a car for a week without knowing its value), could you really tell which one costs over £100k more? I highly doubt it.

I love this cars color scheme. Who'd have thought blu and red would work so nice.

Its definitely smaller. I fit easily in a 488 but my shins hit the lower dash in a 296. 😢

It's a very pretty car. I'd spec mine in TdF Blue, with Daytona seats in burgundy.

Hybrid battery technology are not even more than 30 years. Some aircraft fly even longer than 40 years.

Love the demo I drove earlier this year, and wish I had the money for one.

120 degrees is actually the ideal bank angle for a V6. 120x6=720 (over a 4 stroke combustion cycle). So it was perfect secondary balance but has primary imbalance unlike an engine with an even number of cylinders per V. I think primary balance has something to do with differing piston speeds.

For the engine layout, a v-6 in a 4 stroke engine is optimized at 120° (720/6=120). It’s usually too wide for most cars where you see a v6 used but in a bespoke super car or race car like F1, they can be built this wide.

You should try an SF90 before you describe it as "fading into obscurity"! I know it's popular to bash it but it's an astonishing thing, especially in AF guise. Drives so differently to the 296 GTB (which I agree is a wonderful car). The offer is there to drive my SF90 - and I'd wager you'd revise your view (and perhaps revert to your opinion of three years ago in your desktop video review that it was "the most exciting thing to come out of Marenello for a long time").

@neilturner6749

The SF90 has indeed almost faded into obscurity even whilst still a young-ish model - Ferrari’s own lack of marketing enthusiasm for it combined with poor residual values confirms its lack of “wow-factor” desirability (for a mid-engined Ferrari, anyway). You’re defending it because you’ve got one and obviously love it, and hence have simply taken the benign phrase “fading into obscurity” as meaning the same as “it’s shit”, which clearly it doesn’t. Nor do most reviewers/owners in general think that the SF90 is crap, but there’s no denying that at present it’s a very much overlooked and half-forgotten model.

@stefaneinz

6 ай бұрын

I would point out that in the US SF90s still trade at or above MRSP. In the U.K. residuals are weaker, but this was partly caused by too many ex-demo cars coming onto the market at the same time early in the car’s life; something that did not happen in the US (fact checked with Ferrari UK). That set the early market. And we need to define “obscurity”. If the definition is based on social media hype, sure I’d agree. But for owners and fans of the marque, a 1,000hp Ferrari with an evolution of the great Pista V8 turbo will never be obscure. Just my humble view!

I thought that colourway/nose strip is a special order for the Assetto Fiarano pack, probably spelt wrong. Love the 296 shape.

James, your concern around range is not warranted. Recent trip: 550km at 60 mph av = 31 mpg. Qualifying mode to quickly recharge. It’s interesting to manage this aspect of the car. But you can’t argue with a small tank and decent range for when you actually want to go somewhere in a very special car.

Glorious sounding engine at the start.

I tried it on track. It is an explosion of power contained by clever electronics. This is needed to keep new owners alive.

"Spiderrairi Spiderrari Spiderrari..." I can't unhear nor unsee it 😅

So the lexan glass above the engine bay is nearly 3k what’s the weight saving on that one piece over standard glass? May be worth losing the 1kg from your own waistline. Saving 3k for the respray that’s clearly required on that car 😂😂

I also thought Ford GT40 when I saw those haunches... Hate the pale blue highlights, it's foul. Haptic touch-switches are just absurd...Something bound to go wrong...

That story about Enzo refusing to call a V6 car a Ferrari is complete bunk. Jason Cammisa covered this well; Enzo named the Dino after his beloved, dead son, Alfredino.

A question: a hybrid starts rolling on the electric motor let's say to 50 mph. You keep accelerating and the ICE comes alive at 3.500 rpm! That ICE has enough Oil Pressure or are all internal the components being lubricated when it comes "online"?

120° angle is ideal for a V6. It's not often used because of packaging considerations. 60° is a good compromise but not perfect
