2024 Ferrari 296 GTS in Nero is a striking blend of open-top performance and technical sophistication, capturing the spirit of Italian motoring with cutting-edge hybrid efficiency. Developed as the spider sibling to the Ferrari 296 GTB, the GTS introduces a new era of mid-engined Ferrari with a V6 plug-in hybrid system that redefines expectations for open-air driving dynamics. A car of this calibre isn’t merely transportation—it’s an event every time the roof retracts and the 819 hp powertrain is unleashed.
This specific example, presented in Nero with a vivid Orange interior, is an embodiment of contrast and style. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 is paired with an electric motor to generate a combined 819 hp and 740 nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. This is power delivered with unmistakable Ferrari drama and whisper of electric torque at low speeds. Fuel consumption stands at 6.4 litres per 100 km and CO₂ emissions are rated at 153 g/km, placing it among the most efficient Ferraris ever built.
Mounted low behind the driver, the power unit not only provides blistering acceleration but also ensures a low centre of gravity, contributing to exceptional handling. With a retractable hardtop deployed or stowed, the 296 GTS retains structural stiffness and dynamic precision. This specific car is fitted with diamond-polished 20-inch sports wheels with titanium wheel studs, gloss black brake calipers, and black-finished tailpipes. These touches highlight the contrast between Nero’s deep elegance and aggressive performance character.
The exterior is further adorned with “Scuderia Ferrari” shields on the fenders, offering a motorsport connection and brand heritage that resonates with purists and collectors alike. Visually striking yet purposeful, the aerodynamic profile benefits from downforce-generating elements such as the sculpted rear diffuser and side skirts.
Inside, the Orange leather interior creates a vivid contrast to the exterior’s darkness. It’s not only visually exciting but also ergonomically refined. The carbon fibre racing seats are lightweight and shaped for support under extreme cornering. Embroidered Cavallino emblems on the headrests add bespoke flair, while leather piping and manually ratcheted height adjustment reflect race-inspired practicality. The carbon fibre front tunnel and steering wheel with integrated LEDs elevate the cabin with technical and tactile sophistication.
Technology in the 296 GTS is tailored for drivers who demand both excitement and convenience. Apple CarPlay integrates seamlessly with the infotainment system. The JBL Premium Hi-Fi system delivers clarity even when driving with the top down. Parking is made easier by rear and front sensors combined with a rearview camera, while the Adaptive Frontlighting System and electrochromic mirrors ensure maximum visibility at night or under varying lighting conditions. The front suspension lift system improves usability on Cyprus roads, allowing easy clearance over ramps and driveways.
A wireless smartphone charger and stolen vehicle recovery system bring added comfort and security. The boot space offers 201 litres—ample for weekend luggage or essentials, making this Ferrari not just thrilling but also surprisingly usable.
With only 10,000 km and availability in Cyprus by order only, this 296 GTS combines electrifying performance with aesthetic precision. It’s a statement of personal identity and engineering excellence, crafted for those in Cyprus who demand exclusivity and a visceral connection to the road.
