The V6-powered Ferrari 296 GTB redefines the £200,000 supercar with blistering pace and an entertaining chassis -
It wouldn’t be a Ferrari without a suite of acronyms denoting sophisticated electronic chassis systems. For the 296, Ferrari has developed what it calls a six-axis sensor known as 6w-CDS that can measure both the acceleration and the speed of rotation on the X,Y and Z planes.
I haven’t mentioned how the 296 looks so far as it’s up to you to make that judgement, but having spent time with it ‘in the metal’ I happen to think it’s a very pretty thing indeed; quite unlike anything else, and obviously inspired by the 250LM of the 1960s. The cabin architecture will be familiar to anyone who has sat in a SF90, for the 296 borrows heavily from that car. I struggle to get along with the purely digital interface and its complimentary haptic switchgear, liberally applied on the steering wheel and on more traditional Ferrari pods either side of the steering wheel.
We also got to drive the 296 GTB briefly on a circuit, and here the cars were all fitted with the Assetto Fiorano pack. It replaces the standard dampers for Multimatic items related to those used in GT racing, and also adds further carbon aerodynamic devices on the nose that increase front downforce by 20kg. There is also more carbon fibre in the cabin and on the exterior, contributing to an overall weight saving of 12kg, which becomes 15kg if you specify the optional Lexan rear engine cover.
