# Ferrari 296 GTB

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/ferrari-296-gtb

Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 and electric motor combine for 819bhp, taking it to 62mph in 2.9 seconds and past 205mph. It will also run about 15 miles on battery alone, so it can leave a street in near silence. We arrange this one through a vetted partner, so the rate is a guide until the car is confirmed. Delivered anywhere in mainland Britain.

## What is the Ferrari 296 GTB like to drive?

The V6 alone makes 654bhp, and an electric motor between the engine and gearbox supplies the rest. The two blend so completely that you never feel a handover, only a shove that arrives the instant you ask for it. It revs to 8,500rpm and sounds nothing like a six-cylinder should. Ferrari shortened the wheelbase by 50mm against the F8 Tributo, and the car shrinks around you on a narrow road because of it.

## How much does it cost to hire a Ferrari 296 GTB?

Each day includes 100 miles, with extra miles at 295p. We hold a £7,500 refundable deposit at handover and the insurance excess is £7,500. Every figure is confirmed in writing before you commit to anything.

## Can you drive a Ferrari 296 on electric power alone?

Yes. In eDrive the 296 runs on its battery for roughly 15 miles at up to 84mph with the V6 switched off. It is genuinely useful rather than a party trick. You can pull away from a residential street, a hotel car park or a wedding venue almost silently, and let the engine wake up once you are out on the open road.

## Should I hire the 296 GTB or the Huracán?

Take the Ferrari if you want the faster, more capable and more comfortable car. Take the Lamborghini if you want the naturally aspirated V10 noise and the presence it has standing still. The 296 is easier to place on a narrow road and better over distance; the Huracán turns more heads parked. We hold both, so ask and we will tell you which suits the plan you have described.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Ferrari 296 GTB a hybrid?

Yes, a plug-in hybrid. A 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 does most of the work and an electric motor fills in the rest, for 819bhp combined. It charges from a domestic socket or a wallbox, and we hand it over fully charged so you can start the hire on electric if you want to.

### What age do I need to be to hire a Ferrari?

Thirty or over, with a full licence held for at least five years and no more than six points. We confirm this at enquiry, before you have committed to anything, so nobody finds out on the day that the car cannot be released to them.

### Can I take the 296 GTB abroad?

European travel has to be agreed before the booking is confirmed. It is not covered as standard, it needs additional insurance and documentation, and it changes the mileage allowance. Ask us early rather than late and we will price it properly.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
