The Ferrari 296 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) is the open-top evolution of the 296 GTB, introducing a retractable hardtop (RHT) that seamlessly integrates into the vehicle's compact design. This model maintains the revolutionary 120° V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, which delivers a combined 830 bhp, ensuring that the transition to a convertible does not compromise its class-leading performance. The RHT takes only 14 seconds to retract or deploy at speeds up to 45 km/h, allowing drivers to enjoy the visceral "piccolo V12" soundtrack of the V6 engine with the top down.
In the Indian market, the 296 GTS is positioned as a pinnacle of technological luxury, offering an exhilarating driving experience that balances zero-emission urban commuting with high-speed grand touring. The vehicle features advanced electronic controls like the Transition Manager Actuator (TMA) and the 6-way Chassis Dynamic Sensor (6w-CDS) to ensure maximum agility and driver engagement. Its interior mirrors the digital-first cockpit of the GTB, providing a futuristic interface that keeps the driver focused on the road while delivering a level of comfort and sophistication expected from the Maranello stable.
