It is a spectacle in blue as the latest evolution of Maranello’s road-going two-seater Berlinetta spider makes a splash on Kuwait’s Al Bida’s seashore. The glorious 296 GTS in Blu Corsa is redefining the whole concept of fun behind the wheel, especially when paired with Kuwait’s creative talents Munirah AlShami and Abdullah Alsaleh. It is an adventure of sun, sand, and pure emotion with the Ferrari 296 GTS.
A sight to behold, the 296 GTS is all about sophisticated lines. When driving top down, true pleasure is experienced as this spider introduces an entirely fresh narrative to Ferrari with its groundbreaking design. The challenge of storing the Retractable Hard Top (RHT) within the engine area motivated the Ferrari Styling Centre team, led by Flavio Manzoni, to innovate a new tonneau cover design. These unique geometries have resulted in stylistic elements that diverge significantly from recent Ferrari spiders. Contrasting the 296 GTB’s horizontally arranged engine bay dominated by two flying buttresses, reminiscent of the iconic 250 Le Mans archetype, the 296 GTS boasts an utterly distinctive rear design.
The 296 GTS, the evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater Berlinetta spider concept, is powered by the new 120° V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor, which unleashes a massive 830 cv in total. The car thus redefines the whole concept of fun behind the wheel, guaranteeing pure emotions not just when it is being pushed to its limits, but also in day-to-day driving situations.
The soul of Ferrari perseveres with unparalleled strength, as the 29S GTS delivers unthinkable performance levels and an innovative, exhilarating, and unique soundtrack, further enhanced by the fact that it can be relished with the top down.
The 296 GTS stands as a testament to practicality with its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system, not only ensuring exceptional usability but also slashing pedal response times to nil while granting a 25km range in all-electric eDrive mode. Its nimble dimensions, paired with groundbreaking dynamic control systems and finely tuned aerodynamics, guarantee an immediate sense of awe-inspiring agility and responsiveness to every driver’s command. Its sleek, athletic design and remarkably compact build not only visually accentuate its distinctive and contemporary aesthetics but also deftly pay homage to classics like the 1963 250 LM, marrying elegance with practicality seamlessly.
