Ferrari 296 GTS

A Ferrari with two sides

The Ferrari 296 GTS feels compact and alert from behind the wheel. Its mid-engined layout gives it a precise feel through bends, while the plug-in hybrid V6 responds readily when traffic clears. On Sheikh Zayed Road it settles into a steady cruise; on the more open roads around Al Qudra, it rewards a smoother, more deliberate drive.

The convertible roof changes the mood. With it open, you hear more of the car and feel closer to the road. In Dubai’s hotter months, that is best saved for an evening drive rather than the middle of the day.

Where it fits in Dubai

This is a good choice for a birthday, a couple’s weekend or a photo shoot where the car is meant to be part of the occasion. It also feels at home arriving at a hotel valet or following Jumeirah Beach Road after sunset. It is less suited to a family trip or an airport run with bulky luggage.

Downtown traffic and Marina parking call for patience, as they do in any low sports car. Take speed bumps carefully and allow yourself room when entering tight car parks. That small bit of planning makes the more enjoyable stretches of the drive easier to appreciate.

The details before you book

The 296 GTS is a two-seat, two-door convertible with a 3.0L V6 plug-in hybrid engine, 819 hp and an automatic transmission. Those figures tell you this is a serious performance car, but the open roof is just as important to its character.
