The 296 is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car that went on sale in 2022. Ferrari presented it on June 24, 2021, as the first "real six-cylinder Ferrari"; earlier six-cylinder models had been sold under the Dino brand until 1974. A 120-degree twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor produce a combined 830 PS, with short distances possible on electric power alone. "296" denotes displacement and cylinder count, and GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The GTS convertible followed in April 2022 with a hardtop that opens in 14 seconds at up to 45 km/h.
