Ferrari's first six-cylinder road car other than the Dino — a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V6 built to reset the mid-engined range.
Type F171. The Ferrari 296 was unveiled on 24 June 2021 and went on sale from 2022, designed by the Ferrari Centro Stile under Flavio Manzoni. It is a rear-mid-engined two-seater with rear-wheel drive and Ferrari's first plug-in hybrid V6, positioned alongside the V8-engined mid-engined line.
The car takes its name from the 250-family scheme of displacement and cylinder count. Its design references the 250 LM, notably the B-pillar cut and rear treatment. GTB is the coupé; GTS the retractable hardtop, which folds in 14 seconds at up to 45 km/h. Assetto Fiorano is the track package, with revised suspension, additional carbon-fibre bodywork and a polycarbonate rear screen. The active rear spoiler generates additional downforce rather than reducing drag — inverting Ferrari's previous active-aero approach. The 296 Speciale was revealed on 29 April 2025; the Speciale A is the open version; the 296 Speciale Piloti was presented at the 2025 Le Mans in a livery recalling the 499P.
The 296 GT3, developed by Oreca, replaced the 488 GT3 from 2023 and won the 2023 Nürburgring 24 Hours with Frikadelli Racing; the 296 GT3 Evo was announced at Spa on 27 June 2025; the 296 Challenge was unveiled in October 2023. Those cars are race cars and are not part of this guide.
The 296 is Ferrari's first six-cylinder road car since the Dino and its first to pair a V6 with electrification. The road-car range extends across the GTB, GTS, Speciale and Speciale A, and the Assetto Fiorano option pack is a defined specification within the range. It resets Ferrari's mid-engined recipe for the current era.

The 296 is a current Ferrari. Confirm chassis number, delivery specification, options, colour and interior trim against the authorised Ferrari dealer's records, and cross-check every claim against the delivery paperwork and Ferrari's own build documentation.
The 296 pairs a twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Confirm the battery state, hybrid-system service history and any software update record through the authorised Ferrari dealer service portal — hybrid diagnostics belong with the dealer.
Confirm any Assetto Fiorano option pack against the delivery documents — the package changes suspension hardware, adds carbon-fibre bodywork and replaces the rear screen with polycarbonate. Verify carbon-ceramic brake condition against the dealer service book.
The road-car range covers the GTB coupé, the GTS retractable-hardtop convertible, the Speciale coupé and the Speciale A open version. Verify the exact body and derivative against the delivery documents; the 296 GT3, GT3 Evo and Challenge are race cars and are not part of the road-car range.
