New Ferrari 296 GTB | evo REVIEW

[@stevelenz7746]

I drove both the 296 and the SF90 and must say that the 296 is very impressive. Power is overwhelming at first but car is very well balanced. You can go against any other supercar with the 296...

Finally Adam Towler! He is the best writer in EVO Magazine. Nice to see him on videos. Incredible Ferrari too! Lessons learnt from the SF-90

[@sebstubbs4845]

All these comments saying this car is ugly? I think it looks great, very reminiscent of the 250 lm… New era of Ferrari. Sure it had a v6 and sounds muffled, that’s the unfortunate future of internal combustion engines. I’m sure it will sound great with an aftermarket exhaust! Great video.

[@minimead368]

The car looks ghastly from every angle, the last good looking Ferrari made was the f430. Ferrari’s from the 458 onwards have not aged well

[@aviator-kn8zq]

@@minimead368 this car is beautiful , sure they can refine the nose, rear lights in the facelift or wtv. But it is genuinely striking and elegant. People are quick to dismiss any new change, " camaro, ford GT " but looking away at a fresher retro modern effort. BMW tried it and failed with no proportionate care or flow.

[@minimead368]

@@aviator-kn8zq that Front grill it’s far too wide, with nothing to break it up it just looks like a shark that’s lost all it’s teeth. The light bar at the front seems to be an after thought, highlighting a feature that doesn’t fit with the design aesthetic, i’m lost as to why they coloured the top of the mirror red when they’ve gone with a canopy style cockpit, it makes the mirror stand out a mile as it breaks the blackness of the glass with this huge red square shape and then to highlight it even more they put a black bottom to it which makes it stand out from the red coloured panel, I wouldn’t have minded if they’d made the mirror elegant but it’s just a square blob with no finesse. I do you like the rear arch but they designed it to flow into this awkward backend So this beautiful round arch on its downward curve suddenly flicks up into this square spoiler making it just awkward to look at. The back lights look like a pair of ray bands, and the shape of the exhaust pipe just does not fit with the curvature of the backend. The engine cover from the top down view makes the rear end look really wide and disproportionate from the rest of the car.

[@colinmiller9221]

I though the same thing. I've been a critic of ferrari lately, but this one I find beautiful. Looks like how the SF90 should have looked

[@Alby911]

@@minimead368 That's a lot of huffing and puffing over the biggest oversight: design is subjective. What you find wrong someone else thinks the complete opposite; and then there are those in-between. This car will sell well just like every other Ferrari. And those who own it couldn't care less what others think.

[@dazza818]

Not feeling this Ferrari design language. Obviously it looks interesting and stands out because it's a ferrari, but it looks more like a lotus / Mclaren / Corvette hybrid. Seems they sacrifice beauty for functional design. Yet people who buy the cars wont use it to anywhere near it's full potential.

[@sankarajive]

Ferrari nailed it with the best Performance, Dynamics and Design... 😍😍😍👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️

[@swanblake]

The sound of the engine must not translate to vide as I can barely hear it and when I do it's very underwhelming. Very awkward front clip as well. Can't say I want to drive it or am excited by it. Crazy fast I'm sure, but so is everything now.

[@christophegenbrugge6815]

The front looks okay, the side profile to. I just don't like the rear view from the top. If i had that kind of money i would get an older model. Ferrari lost it's way after the 458 for me. The 458's rear was not my favorite either. But the front and sides were spot on.

[@tlrprice7]

So basically you miss Pininfarina. Me too

[@romannosov7932]

Everyone misses Pininfarina man. Ferrari managed to destroy completely the Enzo's heritage...

[@ertugrulbae46]

I prefer the previous gen Ferraris New ones look like Lotus/Corvette hybrids. Nice looking supercar but we still need original looking Ferraris from pininfarina. I'm not keen on the back end and the front lights... The engine sound is completely dead

[@user-dq1kr6zc2t]

Sounds like a Dyson. Emission standards are killing the visceral exhaust sound.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

You have no idea what you are talking about. Turbos are killing the sound. Inside of the car you hear more of the engine itself than from the exhaust anyways.

[@aiGeis]

f8 sounds horrible too, an upgraded exhaust probably won't even hurt the resale on these.

[@ertugrulbae46]

@@Mgoblagulkablong OPF kills the sound more than the Turbos do The German supersaloons all have twin turbo that sound good. Tuned 6cyl 2JZ-GTE sounds epic. This sounds crap

[@MarcSob22]

The sound is amazing dont talk shit by just a video!

[@DB-fn3fz]

@@ertugrulbae46 agreed, that's because emission laws are killing the sound. Most new cars and bikes are leaned out from the factory to comply with Euro6/7 and therefore once you tune them and add more fuel they run much better, make more power, and are louder. That's why the F40 sounds great and this 296 GTB sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

Rather have a Z06 for the same price. And if I didn't mind sacrificing the Ferrari sound I'd get an Emira.

@@TheG60528XiJinPing not at all, in fact, I think new Z06 is the best Vette ever. It’s just what dealers doing with the prices is absurd. On paper it should be a bargain of the century, but in reality it probably will be close to $200k+

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

From the a-pillar back, in the side profile, it looks very 2006 Ford GT. But overall its a good looking car. The front is my least favorite.

[@alfisti93]

If you look back at classic Ferraris - the 296 GTB bears some (heavily) modernised resemblance to the good old 250 LM...

[@chamade166]

That car looks pure class.

[@wandering_not_lost]

A few points that I don't think were covered. What sort of brakes does it have? steel or carbon ceramic? what do they feel like? What gearbox does it have and how were the changes? And perhaps most important given that its a GTB i.e. Grand Tourer Berlinetta, what luggage space does it have? Is it a practical grand tourer for crossing continents?

[@Joshua-fx3tl]

It has the same 8 speed gearbox from the SF90.

[@marknorton5951]

All Ferraris have ceramic brakes. It has good luggage space comparable to a 488 and not compromised by the the front motors as in the SF90.

[@ariefghani2380]

Because it's a hybrid?

[@Boomtowndogs]

@@ariefghani2380 Yes and V6. I've had considerable seat time in a Ferrari 812, Ferrari FF and R35 GTR for comparison. A V6 is fine but not exotic and the experience can be had many places and for less, like the GTR (lets say 911 Turbo or MC20 today). The 812 feels extremely exotic and special. The engine is the centerpiece and a masterpiece. Rev happy, symphonic. That's Ferrari - In my opinion at least. edit: also driven the 720s. I'm not against the modern turbo trend, but at least go small displacement V8.

[@realdata1378]

exhaust note? wait till you have an electrical gremlin. I get its a hybrid but its still a Ferrari. The Ferrari 348 is the single Biggest Bang for the Buck in Ferrari and exotic sports cars. Wait till you have an electrical gremlin with the 296. In Ferrari sports cars. Jeremy Clarkson declared the 355 “the greatest car in the world, ever.” But Less is More with the completely analog 348 as it doesn’t have the brass valve guide and/or electronic suspension issues the 355 has. Older is Easier as the 348 is the best “purely analog” Ferrari ever made according to Hoovies Garage, the Smoking Tire, Jay Emm, etc as the 348 comes without modern day features that actually detract from the experience of driving a Ferrari. Why drive a “fast” car “slow” when you can drive a slower car fast? Lastly, the 348’s 8,500 rpm flat plane crank shaft generates an Formula 1 exhaust note as F1 cars also use flat plane cranks to lower their center of gravity. Every car has an exhaust note-why isn’t anyone commenting on the lack of a distinctive exhaust note on the 296?

[@desmonian]

The 348 was a fucking terrible car, and had constant electrical problems, as well as a terrible chassis and underpowered motor.

Love that they are finally quoting and agreeing that lightweight options make a massive difference to the kerb weight.

BS, if the 296 was about fun to drive, it would have a 500hp 3.9l v8, NA engine with a manual gear box.
