Ferrari's mid-rear-engine plug-in hybrid 296 GTB channels 819 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6 and electric motor to reach 60 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Constructed in Maranello, Italy, the Ferrari 296 GTB represents a technological revolution for the Italian marque by introducing a mid-mounted 120-degree twin-turbocharged V6 hybrid powertrain. Nicknamed the piccolo V12 due to its wide cylinder angle and firing harmonics, the 3.0-liter internal combustion engine delivers 654 horsepower on its own, augmented by a rear electric motor to produce a total system output of 819 horsepower (611 kW) sent strictly to the rear wheels. During instrumented testing conducted by Car and Driver, the 296 GTB accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and traversed the quarter-mile in 9.6 seconds at 149.6 mph. The vehicle incorporates an electronic Side Slip Control (eSSC) system, six-way Chassis Dynamic Sensors, and brake-by-wire carbon-ceramic rotors that provide exceptional deceleration. Its compact wheelbase and instantaneous electric torque response deliver extraordinary agility and straight-line speed. Ranks tenth with an instrumented 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds, showcasing rear-wheel-drive hybrid agility and a 9.6-second quarter-mile.
