The 2023 Ferrari 296 GTS Hybrid Is An 819-HP Tornado
by AutoExpert | 20 April, 2022
Ferrari has just announced that the current GTB coupe will be joined by a new Ferrari 296 GTS. The new automobile has the same basic aluminum chassis and hybrid-assisted 3.0-liter V6 engine as the fixed-roof car, producing 819 horsepower.
The GTS also has a foldable hardtop that can be raised or closed in 14 seconds. Although the roadster's 0-124 mph sprint is 0.3 seconds faster, both the GTS and GTB reach 62 mph in the same 2.9 seconds.
The GTB's 8,500 rpm V6 engine produces 654 horsepower, to which Ferrari integrates 165 hp of electric power, for a total of 819 hp driving just the back wheels.
The driver-focused improvement includes more carbon fiber, lightweight door panels that save 17.6 lbs, and front bumper aero winglets that enhance downforce by 22 lbs. At 155 mph, an AF-equipped GTS generates 795 lbs of downforce, according to Ferrari.
Prices and delivery dates for the United States are yet unclear. However, the new Ferrari 296 GTS is estimated to cost somewhere around $30,000 more than the $323,000 296 GTB.
