2024 FERRARI 296 GTS

The Ferrari 296 GTS, introduced in 2022, is the convertible version of the groundbreaking 296 GTB, representing a bold step in Ferrari’s journey into hybrid performance. The “296” refers to its 2.9-liter V6 engine, and “GTS” stands for Gran Turismo Spider, highlighting its open-top grand touring character. This model revives the spirit of Ferrari’s mid-engine V6 lineage, dating back to icons like the Dino 246, while embracing modern electrification. The 296 GTS features a plug-in hybrid powertrain (PHEV) that combines the V6 engine with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 819 hp and 740 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of over 205 mph. It also offers up to 15.5 miles of electric-only driving, making it the first Ferrari Spider capable of silent, emissions-free cruising. A standout feature is its retractable hardtop (RHT), which folds away in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 28 mph. Ferrari engineers worked meticulously to maintain structural rigidity and aerodynamic efficiency, ensuring the 296 GTS performs on par with its coupe sibling. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit mirrors that of the 296 GTB, with a fully digital interface and minimal distractions.
