First Impression: a sculpture that drives

The 296 Coupe arrives with the low-slung, mid-engine silhouette expected of a modern Ferrari but with sharper creases and aerodynamic intent that reads as both elegant and purposeful. At 4,565 mm long, 1,958 mm wide and just 1,187 mm tall it occupies road space like a predator, not a grand tourer, and that presence translates to instant curbside attention. Details such as pronounced rear haunches, an aggressive front splitter and integrated aero channels advertise its performance credentials without shouting.

Inside: all business, a touch of theatre

The cockpit is uncompromisingly driver-focused with high-grade leather, carbon accents and controls clustered around the steering wheel so the driver rarely needs to look away from the road. Seats are slim, highly bolstered and built for engagement rather than long-haul cushioning, while material quality matches the price point with few weak spots. Infotainment is present but deliberately pared back compared with mainstream luxury cars, keeping the experience centred on driving. Current version is the Ferrari 296 Coupe 296 Plugin Hybrid Automatic Rear-Wheel Drive with 830 HP, an official combined consumption of 7.4 L/100 km and an electric range of 25 km.

Daily practicality: minimalist but workable

The 296 is a strict two-seater with very limited stowage and an officially listed trunk volume of 0 L, which means packing must be mercilessly selective — think weekend bag, not holiday luggage. A payload of 482 kg and a 65 L fuel tank make it viable for longer trips without constant refuelling, but fitment is tight and ingress/egress is best suited to the agile rather than the tall or stiff-kneed. Visibility from the cockpit is decent for a mid‑engine car, yet the low roofline and wide hips demand attention in tight urban spaces.

How it drives: shockingly rapid, surprisingly composed

The drivetrain mixes a high-revving 3.0‑litre V6 with electric boost to produce a claimed 830 hp and 740 Nm, hauling the 1,470 kg curb weight to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 330 km/h. Rear‑wheel drive bias, razor‑sharp steering and a stiff, track‑oriented chassis make cornering precise and confidence‑inspiring, while the hybrid torque fills low revs for instant response off the line. The trade‑off is a firm ride and little tolerance for poor tarmac — comfort sacrifices are part of the price for that level of connectivity with road and machine.

Efficiency and range: hybrid convenience, not full EV freedom

Officially the 296 posts a combined consumption figure of 7.4 L/100 km and an electric range of 25 km, with CO2 at 169 g/km, which helps in urban running and short commutes but won’t turn this into a true electric daily. In real-world spirited driving consumption rises sharply, so the petrol tank’s 65 L capacity is useful if the intention is longer drives without frequent stops. The battery’s modest EV range is best seen as a city aid—silent pull‑away and short zero‑emission runs—rather than a replacement for plug‑in commuting.

Technology and assistance: selective and performance-first

Technology in the 296 concentrates on performance: advanced traction and stability controls, torque vectoring and an evolved side‑slip management system keep the rear‑drive behaviour usable at the limit, with strong brakes and multiple driving modes for different surfaces. Infotainment covers navigation and smartphone connectivity but lacks the breadth of features found in large luxury cars, reinforcing that the car’s priority is driving pleasure rather than gadgetry. Driver assistance is purposeful rather than autonomous, offering essentials like parking aids and basic lane / collision support but no high‑level self‑driving functions.

Who should consider one: what kind of buyer fits the 296?

The 296 Coupe suits buyers who want a compact, contemporary Ferrari that blends spectacular acceleration and modern hybrid tech with a sharp, track-capable chassis — ideal for those who will spend as much time enjoying backroads and circuits as cruising city streets. It is not a practical family car or a comfortable long-distance cruiser for frequent grand tours, but for someone prioritising engagement and status, it offers a unique balance of cutting-edge powertrain and classic Ferrari drama. In short, it’s for drivers who want a daily-able supercar for short commutes and long thrills, rather than a multipurpose luxury car.
