Ferrari’s highly anticipated first SUV model made its first appearance in recent days. Ferrari showed it will make an assertive foray into the SUV sector after the leaked images, introducing the new Ferrari 296 GTS, which this time has not deviated from its line.

The 296 GTS model, the convertible version of Ferrari’s 296 GTB model, was first introduced and many expected features were shown for the first time. Let’s take a closer look at all the features and details of the new 818 horsepower asphalt monster.

The open twin of the 296 GTB: the 296 GTS!

The 296 GTS, which comes across as an open 296 GTB, has a lot in common with the GTB. We can only say that it is a slightly more spacious version. The new convertible 296 GTS, Powered by an 818 hp 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine and an F1 dual-clutch automatic transmission It can transfer the power of its engine, which is located in the middle, to the rear wheels. Of course, thanks to this power under the hood, we can say that the vehicle rears like a horse, which gives its title (Grand Turismo Spider). However, the vehicle is preparing to please the drivers with its other functions and under the hood. 296 GTS It has 4 driving modes: eDrive, Hybrid, Performance and Qualify.

Perhaps one of the most important features of the vehicle is that you can take advantage of the electrical power at the level you want. This, along with the driving modes, has a significant impact on the fun you will have while driving your vehicle. For example; If you put it in eDrive only mode, your vehicle will run on electricity only, meaning: If you drive at an average speed of 135 km per hour, it can take you up to 25 km. The 296 GTS, which is 70 kg heavier than the GTB, does not distinguish itself from its brother with this characteristic. If we talk about the design (which I do not know if it is necessary), we can say that Ferrari does not deviate from classic and sporty lines, but successfully combines them. Especially the rear spoiler line gives the vehicle a very nice look.

While the 296 GTS has delighted us with its interior, exterior design and features, it also has some features that will bore us; such as price and release date. The price of the Ferrari 296 GTS, which is expected to take its place on the roads in early 2023, is expected to be $400,000 (5,862,200 TL). However, it should be emphasized that the release date and price have not been officially announced at this time.
