That is the best sounding V6 I've ever heard, bar none.
It raises the bar (and it helps that it's piped into the cabin)
It sounds so good for a v6
Even miles better with a straight pipe!
Shame because that steering wheel Is a nightmare, should have had physical buttons.
bro its 400k$ for v6 🚶♂️🚶♂️😭
@@ITX635 you’re silly if you think you’re paying simply for the engine. This car makes almost 700 horsepower without the hybrid system and it’s a Ferrari…what do you expect it to be ? 80 grand? 😂
@@ITX635 a V6 hybrid that’s over 800hp and ferrari engineered 😭
The 296 is absolutely insane. When the teaser photos came out and all the buzz about Ferrari making a 3L V6, I had no idea it was going to be essentially a 765LT equivalent.
Its actually faster than a 765lt
@@enrico93 nAHH NO WAY
not even close to a 765lt, more like competition with the new atura. This would not even compete with a 765, svj or sf90.
@@steveferguson7486 actually it may have a change against the svj
@@steveferguson7486 this actually beats the sf90 on a roll.
Watching how fast the landscape moves while you're accelerating is insane
This is my new favorite Ferrari
Ferrari has been saying for years that when properly cooked, six-cylinder power can get the job done. Love the song that 296 GTB is singing. Yes, the 296 GTB is expensive but this is the best looking Ferrari I've seen in some time, and may be worth every penny for the lucky person wealthy enough to cover the price tag. For now, I'll rewatch this video and listen to the music of a Ferrari in the hands of a driver who knows that a good car + twisty road = the good ol' days are Now! 👍👍
As we've said, Edd, we're living at peak car development for both nostalgia and next gen tech. I feel incredibly fortunate to drive these machines.
That engine sounds phenomenal
That intro driving POV is unreal.. LOL great job!
Glad you liked it! 😊
that ''OH GOOD HEAVENS'' killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I just react and sometimes the things I say, in retrospect, are never expressions I utter in my daily life. That's how I know it was a good drive 😆
for me one of the best looking ferrari of the past years if not not ever!
the best 296 review ive seen
WOW!!! I am not a Ferrari aficionado but this car leaves me speechless. I do like the design and think it's sleek and elegant looking. What a great in-depth POV drive review. Thanks, MPH!
Best Ferrari for daily driver. Period
Save for the nonsense that is those steering wheel touch controls, I think Ferrari have nailed this one. Looks gorgeous with the nice classic proportions and sounds out of this world with it. Also kudos for the filming of this clip! Theres a real sense of the rabid frenzy like acceleration and performance of this car- through the lens- that is most captivating! The way it screams down the straights to the next corner is more like rally racing! If you are in the market for this, then I’d say probably worth every penny.
I've never been a fan of current Ferrari's (488, F8, Roma, Portofino etc) but this 296 GTB is just amazing. They got the design and performance right, plus it sounds great even though it's a V6. it's sad that such a special Ferrari has these awful buttons that are a nightmare to use.
how do you not like the 488??
@@nicomacchi144 I didn't say I didn't like it, I'm just not a fan. the design isn't as impressive, and the sound is worse than the 296GTB. the 296 is the perfect blend of performance, design and experience. the 458 Speciale is still the best Ferrari V8, and it's better than the 488 (IMO) and the value proves it
Portofina is okay, but Roma is straight up Aston Martin, while rear of SF90 is Camaro. I wish Ferrari will bring Pininfarina back, F12 Berlinetta is still one of the best looking ferrari
F8, Roma, and Portofino M are lovely. 488 feels a little lacking compared with the F8/458 though.
Exceptionally well presented with great content, Miles!
Very kind of you! Glad you enjoyed it
Best looking Ferrari I've seen in a very long time.
wow wow wow this`s one of the best video test driving ever made. what the give high adrenalin to me. what the integrated Dashboard design. thanx for created this video.👍👍👌👌
I've booked the 296 GTS that's the sweet spot for me. great video very informative, thanks.
The red on the bottom of the dashboard is perfect.
First video from MPH guy. At first he was little dull with car details….maybe bc I have seen tons of 206 videos as I have a downpayment on one. But he has ONE OF BEST ROAD DRIVE VIDEOS as his competitors drive autobahn and straights…he drives curves and turns and crushes it….GREAT VIDEO MPH guy.
WOW! Get ready to experience the true definition of raw power and unmatched sophistication with the Ferrari 296 GTB! This machine is a pure manifestation of excellence, sleek design, and hybrid technology that looks like it would take your breath away with every ride. The gorgeous exterior is undeniably sexy, and its timeless design ensures that it'll be a head-turner for years to come. This is an engineering masterpiece, marrying a twin-turbo V6 engine with hybrid technology that makes it stand out from its gasoline-only predecessors. The engine note is nothing short of spine-tingling. This Ferrari looks both thrilling and elegant. In my opinion the epitome of perfection!
i feel like supercars have made another step forward in performance terms which last time we have seen when cars like 458 italia came out
Men you do some real stuff here I really like your channel I hope you will have a amazing life like all those supercar you drove before
Thanks for tuning in - more great stuff to come!
V6 sounds stunning
Perfect Sunday Ride
When I first saw it, I was not a fan of the styling compared to the F8 but it has really grown on me. I want one!!! Rosso Imola is stunning by the way.
I actually found the steering wheel to be really interesting and unique. Instead of cluttering the dash of the car, they made a bold move by increasing the gauge screen and integrating all your controls on your wheel. It's def weird, but also because it's a one of kind approach. Visually, it just looks stellar to have the decluttering of all the basic controls, because most the time you only really adjust them once or twice anyways
And Ferrari has done that for years now
Congratulations - good test and comments! 👍Drove one 12 months ago and still have to wait another 12 months for delivery (GTS). Hard to wait...
Looks really good 💯
Miles your driving videos are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Jermaine! Glad you like them!
That "Mossa!" tho (9:28). It doesn't mean move in that way, it's like the difference between to move (verb) and a move (noun, such as in "He played that move in chess"). Ik y'all probably won't care but I found it so hilarious to hear I had to step in
Just love watching you drive these amazing cars the Lamborghini Aventador was awesome but this omg what can I say just epic!
Insane car and really great video! Fun to watch...
I've been waiting for this video! 296 is probably my favorite car on sale today. It's just stunning to look at and the performance is mind blowing. Not completely sold on the whole hybrid system and dial-less/buttonless interface yet, but that seems to just be a sign of the times. Overall, a masterpiece. Only question is GTB or GTS and what shade of red---or wait for the inevitable "speciale" type version that is sure to come. Can't wait to see what McLaren offers as a 720S replacement, as the Artura isn't really a direct competitor, price wise. Until then, what really compares to this its segment?
GTS of course. Yeah I'm waiting to see the upcoming replacement for the 720S, the 750S.
Man I love the 812...but it's a completely different driving experience. The 296 GTB would run circles around it (though everyone would be straining to hear it in the wake of the GTS's NA V12). I kinda liked the Rosso Imola - not quite as "in your face" as traditional Ferrari red. I'm super excited for the 720S replacement as well, and the Lambo Revuelto. True the Artura is a step beneath, so the 296 GTB is in something of a solo class...for now.
Almost same for me, to me the only better car on sale is the 812 GTS but thats it. The 296 handles extremely well thanks to the V6 (compared to V8, V12s). Also sounded way better than Roma / F8. Artura is actually good tho but still the 296 is just better.
Great review as always. No other reviewer gives you a turn indicator and horn sound test. 😂 I'm confused about these hybrid functions. If you charge the battery to full and only ever drive in IC mode and never in EV mode, does the car maintain the battery? Like as in non plug in hybrids like Toyota Camry? Or do you still have to regularly charge the battery even if you never drive in pure EV mode?
The LaFerrari wing in the rear view mirror is the highlight lol
Stunning looking Ferrari. 😍
Just look at this thing. My goodness. You've never wanted a V6 this bad. I would imagine this powertrain will eventually go into the Purosangue.
Love it… thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed It!
holy sh- wow. that gtb interior is magnificent.
That’s the best card ever see I like how you do your podcast around KZhead and you put as much effort in to make us feel happy in my dream I will own the car thank you so much much
That makes me so happy to hear! That's why I do this!
I am most certainly ordering one at the end of the year 🙌🏾 !
I still love the La Ferrari. This is nice (minus the capacitive touch buttons), however. And, I totally agree about the paddles on the Urus. They need to be column-mounted. They departed from their roots by mounting them to the steering wheel. Happy Easter, Miles & Family!
Happy Easter!
When you say power folding mirrors can you push the button to see them fold bc I love mirrors that fold pls.And I love your videos ❤.
I'm not a Ferrari fan, but this one, love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SF90 is faster but 296 is more fun
Not a Ferrari fan but I think this car and the SF90 are performance beasts and also very beautiful! Ferrari nailed it with these two awesome cars!
@MilesPerHr that hysterical laugh = your having extreme amounts of fun
I can't hide what's inside 😃
Come sempre la Ferrari detta il passo! Alle altre non resta che rincorrere!! Con la sf90 avevano alzato di molto l'asticella,qui siamo alla perfezione e la perfezione a un costo!
Best part of the video was that he didn’t catch up with traffic on the drive. I never get that lucky!
I think we need more sport/supercars on this chanel. They are amazing. Miles, thanks for another perfect review ;)
I've done a lot, but I'll keep doing them!
@@MilesPerHr yeah, i see, but i mean, take a car that you can rarely see on the road. for example, some old Ferrari / Lamba, an old Mercedes - Brabus make a brabus classic. they have a whole line of cars.
where was this recorded? the canyons look beautiful
May I ask which driving mode is more effective for the battery charging? Thanks
I’m so glad to see that 1 one tail light on each side of the rear end gone.
WOW! It is the truth ferrari hybrid car. I liked it.
Can you make a ASMR POV video next in the day time, and can you test the top speed on a dry lake bed?
This is their best looking car in a long time in my opinion.
Nah it’s front end looks like a duck beak
You’re tripping
Omg by the looks of it I know it’s super fast
I like it. I see a lineage to the 288 GTO in the design.
Yes, I do, it's tho coolist V6 Ferrari I have ever seen
Over the next few years Ferrari will focus on 3 specific powertrains : - the pure analog one : the naturally aspirated V12 - the pure digital one : full electric - the best of both worlds : plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V6 The way of how this new V6 is engineered and sounds makes the V8 redoundant and obsolete and by the way the SF90's replacement will be Ferrari's first electric supercar.
I can hear hints of v12 in this engine which refutes the piccolo v12 name
You should do startups with windows or doors open.
Ok..... Respect!!! Excellent car... Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
What road is that? I’ve seen it in other KZhead videos would love to find it
1:20 right at the edge (or corner, I dunno) of the rear bumper...is that dirt or...a scratch? 👀 Anyways, epic video as usual! Thank you very much! 👏
It's the PPF coating coming up a bit. Nothing a little heat gun can't fix
This is the first vehicle that would get any "lottery money" I might win. It is an amazing car in every way.
what would be a better driving experience overall? The classsic 6.5 l v12 812 or the slashing high tech 296?
this thing is sweet
Proud to be italian 🇮🇹 🍕
Can you disable the invasive chimes?
i like your jeans bro, where did u get them?
Ferrari is Ferrari is the best and i love it.🏎️🚀🚀❤️
Can you do a review on 458 ferrari
I just saw one like 25 mins ago on the highway
Attention ça glisse ça
I must say, I like it and I would like it much more, if i would have the money to buy one 😅.
She’s quick that’s for sure
It being rear wheel drive, I think it would be more exciting to drive than the SF90.
I think the 458/488 was the direction to go with design the sf90 and 296 are mid af but the f8 aint bad either. They have the v12 design down though 812 gts 10/10
Awesome car. Great vid. If I had $250 - $350k burning hole in my pocket I’d go McLaren. $100k for the prancing horse + soundtrack is too rich. Sides you’re not getting this unless you buy a Daytona or F8. Which adds another $250k to the price tag.
would you have it over a 765lt?
Honestly.. I think this car would look better as a targa top than a regular coupe.
Ferrari is great again
Lol check engine light is on😂😂😂
do the p1 asap..
You should make a video on a Mercedes amg e 63 s
Not a fan of this design.. I really liked the F8.. I know the trend is to drop the rear glass flat but I think that looks terrible. Looks cheaper to me. That interior is NICE!!!! I really like that dash setup although I like buttons and knobs with some tactile feedback and easier muscle memory. The engine is impressive for a V6....
➡ Can it be driven in auto mode et get the same sensations than driving it with the paddles ?? ...
10:12 Good ole Ferrari, 4 minutes into the test drive and the CEL turns on 😂
That thing spanks.
why is the check engine light on?
❤296
..ok thats cool mate
Well done Ferrari,,
You can hear the excitement in his voice 😆😆😆
Hard to hide it!
Ma ho capito bene ? A velocita costante il motore v8 carica anche la batteria ??? Non voglio fare l'ingegnere meccanico della situazione, ma questa scelta mi sembra contro senso. Il motore in questo modo si ritrova a consumare piu energia per caricare la batteria e questo comporta piu consumi.
Why does he blur out part of the dashboard?
If I'd buy a Ferrari, I'd buy the F8, simply because I find it better looking than the 296. The usability of the 296 is very charming though, especially with the addition of performance and the sound. If I had to decide between the competitors however, I'd buy the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica. It's NA, it's basically a more road-focused version of the STO, it's wild, but not too much, it's extreme, but it's also beautiful. I'm sadly a very easy catch for commercials, so the promo video for the Tecnica would be enough for me to buy it... "How would I describe him? A Prince, supremely elegant, always in control...his ideal weekend? Zipping off to the ocean. Come saturday, the track's the only thing for him...The person he hangs out most with? Himself! His favourites: rock 'n roll, opera, and jazz...His leather jacket is his uniform...Definitely a good guy!...He's a mistery to me...He drives a Lambo! He drives a Lambo...He drives...a Lambo. He drives a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica." And yes, the promo of the Lamborghini Revuelto would also be enough for me to instantly configure and order one for myself if I had the money. That car became my 2nd dream car after I saw it. The first is still the newest (2019+) Aston Martin Vantage.
