Dubai is a place that amazes the imagination of tourists who have chosen this young, ultra-modern city for a vacation in order to see with their own eyes dozens of wonders built by humans in just 20 years. Every tourist, of course, wants to get to know the city and the entertainment it offers its guests as closely as possible, but sometimes it is quite difficult to decide on the choice of car. Now, let’s get to the Ferrari 296 GTS review so that when you’re in Dubai, you can make an informed decision.

Ferrari 296 GTS Overview — Brief History

As we all know, the founder of the company was Enzo Ferrari, born in 1898, a racing driver and entrepreneur. He founded the Scuderia Ferrari racing team in 1929, which drove Alfa Romeo vehicles in competition. In 1939, the Auto Avio Costruzioni company was founded, which was renamed Ferrari in 1947. As the historical review suggests, the famous logo has the appearance of a black stallion on a yellow background with a green, white, and red stripe of the Italian flag. The idea was taken from the symbol of the plane of the Italian ace of the First World War Francesco Baracca.

Since its foundation, the car manufacturer has created many legendary models. The first Ferrari car was the 125 S, released in 1947. Today, the manufacturer continues to develop and release new models. The company is currently engaged in the development of hybrid and electric vehicles. At the same time, the main emphasis is still on speed and quality.

In 2021, the Ferrari 296 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) sports car was introduced, marking the return of the mid-engine Ferrari V6 after the famous Dino series, in particular the 206 GT model of 1968. An open-top variant, the 296 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider), was introduced in 2022.

Another interesting fact in Ferrari 296 GTS review is that in 2024, Ferrari celebrates the 70th anniversary of its official presence in the North American market — in honor of the round date, the company has prepared several special events in one of the most important markets for the Italian brand. At the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix, Scuderia Ferrari pilots will compete in blue gear on cars with blue elements in the livery, and two exclusive Ferrari 296 GTS will be made for customers.

The two Spiders were built under the factory's Tailor Made program, which uses historical motifs in the design of modern cars. Both cars are finished in blue tones, paying homage to Ferrari's classic motorsport colors.

The light blue Azzurro La Plata shade was used by Alberto Ascari in 1952—1953, winning Ferrari's first titles. The dark blue Azzurro Dino came later and was last used by Clay Regazzoni in 1974.

Today, this is one of the best supercars you can test with Trinity Rental. It’s a bold claim, but we’re confident in it. While it’s not perfect — the steering is too complex, and the infotainment system is confusing — the Ferrari 296 GTS is everything you could want from a supercar. It combines great looks, a thrilling drive, and truly insane speed. Hybrid technology takes it to the next level, allowing it to move silently when needed and maneuver at low speeds without the hassle of clutch or gearbox jerks.

Car Specifications Review

Ferrari 296 GTS Appearance

The model is distinguished by its restrained forms and laconic design architecture and has a folding hard top that can be folded in 14 seconds at a speed of 45 km/h. The GTS weighs about 70 kg more than the Ferrari 296 GTB, for instance, because of the reinforcements; however, the Assetto Fiorano package comes with some aerodynamic changes and lightweight features.

Deeply sculpted side air intakes and flying buttresses behind the headrests meet modern elements like slim LED headlights and huge wheels with giant carbon-ceramic brakes. Unlike many convertibles based on the coupe and visually distinguished by their roof, the Ferrari 296 GTS is virtually identical to the 296 GTB in appearance. Not just red — Ferrari red.

Speed and Engine

Now, let’s review the technical specs. Ferrari's next-generation 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with hybrid assistance powers the Ferrari 296 GTS. This V6 is set to replace Ferrari’s larger V8 (like Ferrari SF90 Stradale), and we have no problem with that. The car accelerates up to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. The engine sounds great — it’s called a “piccolo V12”, with a rich, layered growl and the whistle of the turbos right behind you. Power delivery is superb, building with bottomless torque, peaking on turbocharged lift.

Technologies

Our review could not ignore hybrid technologies because they not only increase performance but also make it more environmentally friendly. The Ferrari 296 GTS convertible has highly effective brakes as the main guarantee of safety. The EPS steering system provides instant reactions to the steering wheel movement. The equipment includes numerous electronic systems: ABS/EBD, electronic differential eDiff, stabilization system, side slip control, etc. The lives of the driver and passenger are protected by four airbags, belts with pre-tensioners, and built-in safety arcs.

Ferrari 296 GTS Interior

Ferrari 296 GTS review also pays attention to the interior of the car. The design indicates minimalism and functionality, and the display on the passenger side creates a feeling of involvement in the process with a large digital instrument cluster, but the Maranello stylists have created unique seats for the GTS. The optional Assetto Fiorano package, available for the convertible model, includes carbon fiber aerodynamic elements and some carbon fiber interior parts.

Black leather sports seats with contrasting yellow stitching, adjustable headrests, and side bolsters for support on sharp turns — everything speaks of class and comfort for both the driver and the passenger.
