2026 Ferrari 296 GTB
What Is It?
The 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB presented here is a two-seat, convertible plug-in hybrid sports car that combines a 3.0L six-cylinder engine with an electric drive to deliver a total of 830 hp and 740 Nm of torque. Built to Ferrari performance benchmarks, it pairs a high-output internal combustion unit with electric assistance and an automatic transmission in a rear-wheel-drive layout, offering supercar acceleration and the flexibility of a PHEV powertrain for everyday use.
Design & Exterior
The exterior is sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency and presence under the UAE sun, with broad hips and aggressive intakes that signal performance while helping manage cooling in hot climates. As a convertible, it gives drivers the option to enjoy open-air motoring on coastal highways like Jumeirah Beach Road or through the desert, and the bodywork is engineered to balance downforce and refinement for high-speed stability on long inter-emirate stretches such as Sheikh Zayed Road.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the cabin is focused on the driver and a single passenger, with a two-seat layout that emphasizes sport seating and minimal distraction. Materials and fit are tailored for comfort in UAE temperatures, with climate control and cabin insulation designed to cope with intense heat and occasional sand intrusion, making short bursts of open-top driving comfortable while preserving the focused, cockpit-like feel expected from Ferrari.
Performance & Engine
Performance is the headline: the hybrid system produces 830 hp and 740 Nm, enabling a 0–100 km/h time of just 2.9 seconds while driving the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. The 3.0L six-cylinder works with electric assistance to provide immediate throttle response and high-speed endurance, and the quoted combined fuel economy of 6.4 L/100 km presents a realistic advantage for UAE owners who mix spirited driving with long highway runs.
Safety & Tech Features
The car integrates modern electronic controls to manage its potent power delivery, with sophisticated traction and stability management tailored to high-performance driving as well as everyday usability in urban traffic. As a PHEV, it also offers regenerative features and hybrid control systems that improve efficiency, and the structural design and safety engineering are focused on passenger protection while maintaining the agility demanded of a two-seater convertible.
Why Buy It in the UAE?
For UAE buyers, the 296 GTB’s blend of blistering acceleration, convertible enjoyment, and PHEV efficiency suits local lifestyles: rapid point-to-point performance on long highways, open-top drives along the coast, and better fuel efficiency for intercity trips between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond. The hybrid capability helps temper fuel use during regular commutes and reduces frequent refuelling in a market where fuel prices still influence total ownership cost, while the exotic pedigree matches the region’s appetite for standout supercars.

The starting price in the UAE is AED 1,500,000, with final purchase price varying according to chosen options, taxes and registration.
