2023 Ferrari 296 GTB finished in Blu Tour de France is a statement of both engineering brilliance and design finesse. It is Ferrari’s radical reimagining of the V6 architecture, delivering an electrified performance that surpasses expectations while maintaining the brand’s unwavering focus on emotion and driving purity. The twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine, seamlessly paired with an electric motor, delivers a combined output of 819 hp and 740 nm of torque. This mid-rear-engined berlinetta accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, establishing itself firmly among the most agile and responsive cars of the modern era.
This specific example exudes elegance through its Colori Classici Blu Tour de France exterior, a rich heritage colour that brings timeless sophistication to the modern silhouette of the 296 GTB. The body is further enriched by carbon fibre exterior enhancements including a rear diffuser, under-door trim, front spoiler and exterior sill plates. These components are not only visually impactful but contribute to significant weight savings and improved aerodynamics.
Completing the exterior treatment are 20-inch forged diamond-cut wheels paired with titanium wheel studs and Giallo Modena brake calipers, emphasizing the car’s performance potential and motorsport connection. The instantly recognisable “Scuderia Ferrari” shields on the fenders complete the exterior signature of this remarkable machine.
Inside, the cockpit showcases the finest materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The Cuoio leather interior is complemented by carbon fibre details across the steering wheel—complete with LED shift lights—and the upper tunnel. The fully electric seats with memory functions ensure optimal comfort and positioning whether on daily roads or circuit sprints. Embroidered Cavallino logos on the headrests and custom stitching elevate the sense of individualisation. The carpet and surrounding leather accents add richness and depth to the interior tone, creating a balance between sport and luxury.
Technologically, the 296 GTB offers a suite of advanced systems designed to maximise safety, comfort and driving pleasure. Apple CarPlay seamlessly integrates smartphone connectivity, while the Adaptive Frontlight System (AFS) ensures superior visibility in all conditions. The electrochromic mirrors adjust automatically to lighting variations, reducing glare and improving rearward vision. With a front and rear suspension lift system, the car remains adaptable for everyday use, overcoming curbs and ramps with confidence.
Drivers benefit from front and rear parking sensors, a surround view system, and a security alarm system. The inclusion of a premium JBL high-fidelity audio system further enhances the driving experience, while the wireless smartphone charger adds daily practicality in a discreet, integrated manner.
With only 10,000 km on the odometer, this 296 GTB remains in pristine condition. Fuel economy stands at 6.4 litres per 100 km on the WLTP cycle, and CO₂ emissions are limited to 149 g/km, aided by its electric capability. Boot capacity is 201 litres, offering practical storage for short weekend escapes. This car will be made available in Cyprus by exclusive order, catering to a select audience who value bespoke motoring experiences.
