Fun to drive en plein air
The 296 GTS, the evolution of Ferrari's mid-rear-engined two-seater berlinetta spider concept, is powered by the new 120° V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor, which unleashes a massive 830 cv in total. The car thus redefines the whole concept of fun behind the wheel, guaranteeing pure emotions not just when it is being pushed to its limits, but also in day-to-day driving situations.
In Ferrari, thefun-to-drivefactor is measured by five different indicators which are used to set targets during the development phase.The first factor is lateral acceleration which determines response to steering wheel inputs, the prompt reaction of the rear axle to steering inputs, and, consequently, ease of handling.Longitudinal acceleration, on the other hand, comes down to the speed and smoothness of the response to the accelerator pedal.The third factor is gear shifting in terms of shift times and feeling of coherent progression through the gears with every gear change.The fourth factor is braking: brake pedal feel in terms of travel and response. Lastly, sound levels and quality in the cabin and progression of engine sound as revs rise are also monitored
The Sophisticated Face of the Digital Era
The 296 GTS's cockpit was developed around the new entirely digital interface concept debuted on the SF90 Straddle. While with the latter the designers wanted to highlight the presence of the advanced technology and underscore a clear break with the past, in the case of the 296 GTS, the idea was to clothe the technology to sophisticated effect. The result is a pure, minimalistic connotation characterized by a powerful elegance that perfectly mirrors the design of the exterior.
