Eight hundred and thirty horsepower. eight hundred! (and 30.) that is more power than Michael Schumacher had at his right foot when he won the first of his Ferrari-powered F1 titles in the year 2000. in a car with number-plates, two seats, and a stereo, cruise control and air-conditioning. right now, though, the Ferrari 296 gtB is whispering briskly along in edrive mode, powered solely by the 167-hp electric motor sandwiched between its eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-new twin-turbo V6. that millennium-era-F1-worthy total output comes from the combined might of motor and engine, for the 296 is a plug-in hybrid at the crest of Ferrari’s new wave of road cars. When you call on more power, the V6 harrumphs into life with a disgruntled burr, as if it is been grumpily roused from slumber.
it is the first V6 in a Ferrari-built road car since the dino and if it does not sing or zing like Ferrari V8s of old, it is a nuanced sound, with depth and presence. and serious performance. the tiniest hint of a clear straight is all you need to dispatch dawdling traffic. even in sixth or seventh gear, acceleration is mighty. nuance and depth: that sums up the 296 in general. there are a lot of layers to dig through in this car and not only in terms of its technology, its drive modes, and its interface. (the cruise control, music and air-con can be a nightmare to operate via fiddly and laggy touchpads. Sometimes there is no response to a command, despite tapping my thumb on the pads as if i am attempting a slapbass solo; at others, they respond when my palm brushes them by mistake, putting the 296 into full-power “Qualifying” mode.)
