Crafted for enthusiasts who seek both emotion and innovation, the 2024 Ferrari 296 GTS introduces a new dimension to open-air motoring. Presented in Blu Pozzi, it merges aesthetic clarity with advanced propulsion, offering an experience that’s as sophisticated as it is exhilarating.
At the heart of this configuration lies a 3.0-litre V6 coupled to an electric drive unit, yielding 819 combined horsepower and 740 Nm. The result is a convertible that reaches 100 km/h from standstill in less than three seconds. Despite such capability, it achieves fuel usage as low as 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres and just 153 grams of CO₂ per kilometre, affirming a commitment to cleaner high-performance engineering.
Externally, GTS displays depth through its dark blue bodywork, punctuated by polished brake components and titanium fasteners securing forged alloy wheels. Lightweight aerodynamic enhancements—moulded in technical composite—flow across the front fascia, lower flanks and rear architecture. Black-outlined tailpipes contribute a sharp contrast while echoing its motorsport roots.
Open the cabin and a world of refined contrast unfolds. Upholstered in Cioccolato tones, the cockpit is layered with tactile luxury. Seats inspired by classic racing design offer climate-adaptive comfort, featuring integrated ventilation zones. Personalised embroidery—adds visual identity to each headrest. Satin aluminium elements dress functional surfaces, while the directional controls are centred around a carbon-clad wheel with built-in shift feedback.
Advanced lighting adjusts dynamically for visibility in varied conditions. Glare reduction is handled by automatically dimming external mirrors. Elevation adjustment for the front axle ensures usability on inclined streets. Parking support arrives via visual and distance-based aids, providing full situational awareness.
The multimedia interface includes streaming capabilities, voice input, and a premium sound environment. Digital content remains accessible via a wireless phone bay and full Apple CarPlay compatibility. Climate regulation is dual-zoned and intelligently mapped for seasonal comfort. Acoustic management ensures minimal intrusion, even when operating with the roof open.
The convertible mechanism deploys rapidly, transforming the GTS from closed touring form to a roadster. With 113 litres of luggage volume, practical use remains part of the experience. Despite its performance roots, the cabin has been optimized for long-distance ease, balancing agility with long-legged grace.
Integrated anti-theft features and location assistance come standard, ensuring peace of mind when away from the vehicle. For Cypriot roads and their varied terrain—from harbourfronts to interior climbs—this machine brings dexterity, presence, and control.
Unlike traditional grand tourers, the 296 GTS bridges eras. It borrows principles from Ferrari’s past—mechanical purity, rear-wheel balance—yet integrates forward-facing technology with intention. This model does not chase nostalgia. Instead, it invites its driver into a future where power and conscience align.
Whether chosen for performance credentials or bespoke elegance, this spider represents a decision to drive something uncommon. Available only by commission, it is not a machine for mass roads—it is a signature in motion, built around individuality.
Those who acquire it aren’t just purchasing a super car. They’re curating a legacy, starting with a palette of power and evolving it into a statement that speaks before the engine does.
