2023 Ferrari 296 GTB in Grigio Scuro redefines what it means to combine innovation, style and raw performance into a cohesive automotive statement. This striking plug-in hybrid sports car represents a significant shift for the brand, introducing a V6 engine into a mid-rear-engined Berlinetta for the first time in decades. Its twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine, paired with an electric motor, generates a combined total of 819 hp and 740 nm of torque. This explosive power enables the car to launch from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, maintaining Ferrari’s hallmark balance between extreme performance and accessible driving pleasure.
The example offered here is uniquely finished in Grigio Scuro, an understated yet menacing colour that lends a contemporary elegance to the car’s bold, sculpted bodywork. Complementing this exterior is a Nero leather interior with Alcantara seat centres and vibrant contrast stitching in Giallo. The embroidered Cavallino headrest, finished in yellow, adds a final touch of detail. Carbon fibre accents such as the under-door trim, sill kicks, rear diffuser and front spoiler further emphasize the car’s racing DNA, while titanium wheel studs and 20-inch forged diamond-cut wheels underline its motorsport pedigree.
This particular 296 GTB includes Ferrari’s adaptive headlight system, ensuring optimal visibility at all times, and electrochromic exterior mirrors which adjust to surrounding lighting conditions, enhancing safety and comfort. The suspension lift system ensures practical clearance when navigating ramps or uneven surfaces, making this thoroughbred supercar surprisingly usable even on less-than-perfect roads.
Inside the cockpit, every control is angled toward the driver. The carbon fibre driver zone with LED shift lights creates an immersive Formula 1-inspired feel, while full-electric seats and a surround view camera system enhance daily usability. A premium Apple CarPlay integration is present, making infotainment seamless. The sports exhaust tailpipes and Giallo Modena brake calipers are not only visually striking, but they also contribute to the car’s enhanced braking feel and acoustics.
Despite its staggering performance and unmistakable design, the Ferrari 296 GTB manages to remain practical within its category. The boot capacity offers 201 litres, and the car is homologated for two seats, as expected in a purist Ferrari coupe. The fuel economy figure sits at 6.4 litres per 100 km on the WLTP combined cycle, and CO₂ emissions are rated at 149 g/km, thanks to the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain. With an electric-only range of up to 25 km, city use becomes an emission-free affair when needed.
With 10,000 km on the odometer, this nearly new model is a pristine opportunity for a discerning buyer. It is available in Cyprus strictly by order, offering the exclusivity expected from a Maranello masterpiece of this calibre.
