Ferrari 296 GTB hybrid supercar on-road review. Which is better, this or the Ferrari SF90? 

Totally agree 😆 It looks awful

Yes totally agree , it should be pink and blue😁

It was painted by a Lamborghini owner. LOL

Such a shame,looks like coco the clown car.

You mean the color scheme of the 250LM that won Le Mans....the same 250LM that inspired the design of this car? 😂😂😂 You don't get it, do you? I wouldn't have this in any other color, except maybe yellow with blue.

Unfortunately Harry seems to be missing the entire reason Ferrari is switching to hybrids. No mention of fuel economy.

@@kevindimauro9689 Are you sure that's the incentive? Lol

@@kevindimauro9689 Do you really think people buy Ferraris based on fuel economy?

@@kevindimauro9689 not true. Please don’t make statements you have Simply made up.

@@kevindimauro9689 LOL!

Similar to Evora/Emira.

Ikr, the fact that the V6 sounds better than their V8 is quite astonishing

Better than expected but still terrible compared to any NA Ferrari ever made. They aren't supposed to sound like vacuum cleaners.

@@salvi1398 Amazing! It must be due to the 120-degree Vee angle (or a unique firing order)? (I don't think it sounds better than the NA V8, but it does sound very good.)

@@salvi1398 Multiples of six always sound the best, it’s just that V6s aren’t as numerous as V8s in supercars, so are usually tuned to be quiet.

458 imo better than both still and live as an Icon

@@TRX25EX too big, bad seating position. Doesn’t sound as goon as it should. Event the Speciale was a disappointment for me.

@@timmietz seriously man? 458 is one of best cars I have ever driven/owned (on track), alot says it might be one of best supercars ever, I will say maybe not 675LT was mind blowing experience for me driving it, 991.2 GT2RS is better.... However until today I struggled to find better driving Ferrari, owned F12, drove 488/SF90/Pista/F8/Roma/GTC4Lusso so nearly whole lineup tbh, 458 still tops it all imo, 296 only sat in one awaiting to drive it and I have high hopes for it, but 458 that steering + way chassis like to dance is just amazing, the sound though it have very good intake sound, I liked it overall but not my best car

@@TheAslakVind that doesn’t make it any less ugly.

@Michael Cross it's classis ferrari racing spec colours , it is hideous though

Color scheme definitely contentious

definitely think the blue wheels are the worst part...if they weren't blue it wouldnt feel so OTT. also they could have gone with a bit less of the blue on the nose and it would be able to pull it all off better...but in general baby blue and ferrari red aren't colors i would be quick to combine

Its 40k for this livery because the Fiorana kit also has to be ordered. It was hard to see past the odd colours but I think Harry is right about the shape being spot on. Well done Ferrari!

Totally agree. Kind of like Shmee’s Ford GT. Not a very good looking combo of colors, but once he explained the backstory, and his homage to the Alan Mann racing team’s Ford GT from the 60’s. The motorsport heritage made the spec a whole lot more attractive, and unique.

It's like those early 2000s Pimp my ride monstrosities 🤡

Really like this one.

I completely agree. And I would save some serious money too by not adding all that carbon fibre crap

Just don't go and drive a 296 GTS. The disappointment is substantial.

Clown car spec

The 296 has some resemblance, more than the name, of the 246 Dino

Who the fck specced it? 5 year old boy? :-D Never seen a Ferrari in worst spec than this LOL

Yes make every car look absolutely the same

I adore the spec. The blue👌

You should go and drive one and discover all the ways in which is it far less of a special supercar than the SF90. I personally thing the numb steering feel, and in case of the non-AF cars, the atrociously poor throttle mapping.

Just like the people who buy these cars

It would be nice as an accent, but not as a full secondary color. The old racers got it right. Another wonderful video Harry

Imagine spending £14'000 + and every time you hear a comment about your car its , "thats that's a horrible colour combo"🥺

Then don't choose those colours on your car.

Wow , that is absolutely horrendous It’s hard to believe someone would vandalise a Ferrari like that 🤮 £14k for the stripe ! You would need to be utterly insane

less of the blue might have been in better balance. perhaps just the mouth opening (like on the race cars he showed) and the wheels but definitely less would have been more...

Glad you like it though to be honest I even enjoy the wheels. I wouldn't order this car in this spec as I have my own taste but I love how brave the car is and I really appreciate it. I likely won't be in a position to ever drive one but, if I did, my first color choices would be either viola hong kong or "green jewel", not sure the exact name of the color.

The wheels and seats should be thrown in a volcano

In which parrel Universe does Red and blue look good togheter ?

Can't wrap my head around that at all. How can you think that the numb 296 steering feel is better than the F8 which gives great feedback? Then there's the lazy throttle. I have never been in a car this powerful that can have such a hard time breaking its tyres loose. By comparison the F8 is a monster that has instant response while being a turbo. The 296 is a car that actually needs to spool its turbos, and below 5k, nothing is there. And the busy chassis? What is that about? It is good in its AF version, but in the normal non-AF version, it does not work at all as it lacks feeling as a supercar. I have driven and tracked all four variants, and the only one that impressed, was the AF GTB. I can take them or leave them, but I will not have one along side my SF90 and F8. Hope the VS will be better when we see that in '26.

yeah i think less blue on the nose and normal wheels would have been a better balance...i like the interior in blue though

@@AlbertManiscalco Disagree on the blue interior, it's just as garish as the exterior colors. But to each their own.

@@TheChannel1978 i wouldnt order the track option to begin with and wouldnt want to live with such bold colors on the interior and get bored with it if i had a choice but it still wasn’t ott in the interior in my opinion.

I am sure seeing it without the ghastly blue will make all the difference imho.

That was nasty 😳

Testarossa IS iconic. This NOT. FUGLY.

Yeah I never thought V8s were any more noble than sixes. to me they are equivalent in terms of cachet. Nobody complains about six cylinders in 911’s for example, because they do the job and sound good. It really doesn’t matter to me what size engine it is as long as it sounds good and produces enough power for its weight.

Agreed. It's very tastefully retro. A bit similar to a stratos?

@@mateuszQRDL agreed, very much like a stratos meets the alpine

I have the F430, arguably one of the more boring Ferrari V-8 exhaust notes, but I think this new V-6 sounds better than most of the Ferrari V-8s and absolutely better than the F430.

Yup. Same here. F430 and 599 were the last great Ferraris for me. 458 had an awkward seating position, terribly overboosted steering (same with the F12), and was more of a lateral step (or even step backward) rather than a step forward. The numbers continue increasing, but I'm not sure of the driving experience has ever really improved.

You know I was just about to say these modern supercars are not very interesting and I wish Harry would do more stories of the old timers. Then I noticed your comment and got happy. I'm sure he'll do an episode of it.

they also took Ferrari out of Stellantis more likely to avoid paying taxes on these overpriced cars

I'll take the yellow it's Modena's racing colour

See 21:00 onwards.

Yeah, those curves. Gina Lolabrigita, Sophia Loren etc. A stunningly beautiful Ferrari. Thanks Harry.

Why not? Better than all the dull greys/blacks or God-forbid white.

@@EvoraGT430 it’s absolutely unequivocally not at all

@@EvoraGT430 You won't be a fan of Harry's new Emira then ;-)

Usually the rule for Ferrari's and dry weights is to add around 150kg.

liked it initially, losing some of its appeal over time
