Buy Ferrari 296 GTS Standard 2025 in Dubai

The 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) continues to define Ferrari’s "fun-to-drive" philosophy, merging a high-performance hybrid powertrain with the visceral experience of open-top driving. As the convertible sibling to the 296 GTB, the 2025 model remains largely unchanged mechanically from its debut, focusing instead on peak refinement and advanced hybrid integration.

1. The Powertrain: "The Little V12"
Despite being a V6, Ferrari engineers nicknamed this engine "piccolo V12" (little V12) due to its high-pitched, harmonious exhaust note.

Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbocharged V6 with a unique 120° "Vee" angle.

Hybrid System: A rear-mounted electric motor (MGU-K) powered by a 7.45 kWh battery.

Total Output: 819 hp (830 cv) and 545 lb-ft of torque.

Transmission: 8-speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) derived from the SF90 Stradale and Formula 1.

2. Performance Stats
The 296 GTS manages to maintain nearly identical performance figures to its hard-top counterpart, despite the extra weight of the roof mechanism.

0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 2.9 seconds.

0–200 km/h (0–124 mph): 7.6 seconds.

Top Speed: Over 330 km/h (205 mph).

Electric Range: Approximately 25 km (15 miles) in pure eDrive mode, ideal for silent city exits.

3. The Retractable Hard Top (RHT)
The "GTS" designation is defined by its roof, which is engineered to preserve the car’s silhouette while raised.

Deployment Time: The roof opens or closes in just 14 seconds.

Operational Speed: It can be operated at speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

Design: When the roof is stowed, a height-adjustable glass rear screen sits behind the seats to minimize cabin turbulence at high speeds.

4. Key Driving Modes (e-Manettino)
The steering wheel features a dedicated touch-selector for the hybrid system:

eDrive: 100% electric, rear-wheel drive.

Hybrid: The default mode for maximum efficiency; the engine kicks in only when needed.

Performance: The engine is always on to keep the battery charged and ready for full power.

Qualify: Maximum performance, prioritizing power output over battery longevity.

5. Assetto Fiorano Package
For buyers prioritizing track performance over grand touring comfort, Ferrari offers the Assetto Fiorano package:

Weight Reduction: Extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight door panels saves about 12–15 kg.

Suspension: Fixed-rate Multimatic dampers optimized for track use (replacing the standard adaptive setup).

Aerodynamics: High-downforce carbon fiber flaps on the front bumper.

Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires for maximum grip.

6. Interior & Pricing
The 2025 model features a fully digital cockpit first introduced in the SF90, with a passenger-side display that allows the co-driver to see speed, RPM, and gear selection.

Estimated Starting Price: Approximately $375,000 – $380,000 (depending on the region and options).

This car has 2 doors and seats up to 2 passengers...
