Ferrari revealed the 296 GTB, a hybrid takeover of the previous Dino, eight months ago, reverting to V6 power. Now the open-top 296 GTS arrives, bringing the same electrified performance to a convertible platform. Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine — a genuine feat of engineering — works in concert with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 818 horsepower. The specific output sets a record for a production Ferrari road car.
2023 Ferrari 296 GTS Exterior
The 296 GTS carries forward the sculpted, mid-engine proportions of the 296 GTB while introducing a retractable hardtop. The roofline flows cleanly into the rear deck, preserving the coupe's aerodynamic profile even with the top lowered. Signature Ferrari design cues — including the teardrop-shaped side intakes and the compact rear haunches — remain prominent.
2023 Ferrari 296 GTS Interior
Inside, the 296 GTS adopts a driver-focused cockpit with a fully digital instrument cluster and a passenger-side display. The retractable hardtop folds away in approximately 14 seconds, transforming the cabin into an open-air experience without sacrificing structural rigidity. Premium materials — Alcantara, carbon fiber, and machined aluminum — define the trim.
2023 Ferrari 296 GTS Engine
The heart of the 296 GTS is its hybrid powertrain: a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 paired with an electric motor. Together they produce 818 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque. The V6 alone contributes 654 horsepower, making it the highest specific-output production engine in Ferrari's history. Power reaches the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Top speed is rated at 205 mph.
2023 Ferrari 296 GTS Price & Release Date
Ferrari positioned the 296 GTS as a 2023 model-year offering. Pricing estimates at the time of the August 2022 preview placed the open-top variant above the 296 GTB, reflecting the added complexity of the retractable hardtop mechanism. Exact figures varied by market and optional equipment.
