Aperta ❤

Competizione Spider (V12). ((APERTA)).
The 296 is the new sweet spot in the Ferrari lineup. What a car. A real looker too.
Nope. Electric cars are garbage.
@@michaeltrumph121this is phev bud. Not full electric. This can compete with a plaid on drag race and do some good track times too. Also has great mileage even though I doubt any Ferrari owner cares about that. Its a good fun car .
@@Shaf-ci4omcomplete agree 👍🏻
Given the look of terror on James's face, Ferrari has done its job.
Our thoughts exactly.
It looks as though he’s about to crap his pants.
@@dougcargill6730 or toss his cookies.
man, I couldn't stop laughing, it's kind of the same faces you get with Tesla Plaid !!!
I have to say, full credits to everyone involved in the making of this video. The editing, camera angles and soundtrack were all top-class. It’s the best car review I’ve seen in some time.
Perhaps it was helped by the fact that this 296 GTS in Blu Corsa is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. Definitely at the top of my list of dream cars to own. Ferrari have smashed it with this one.
Thank you!
Just ordered mine in rosso fuoco with blu santorini interior, GTS of course. Can't FFFFFF wait!!!!
Sorry folks, order capacity was closed, you can't order a new 296 anymore. Mine is literally (maybe) the last one to roll out
They falling in value quicker than a whore drawers - I’m waiting until next year to grab a bargain
The Ferrari 296 GTS must rate as one of Maranello s finest. Based on the 296 GTB the GTS has gained some weight due to chassis strengthening. Though the extra weight hasn't effected the handling nor the performance. There seam's to be no stopping the Prancing Horse from Maranello.
Yes Ferrari 👍
Sweet mother this car looks fantastic... Ferrari design is on an all time high these days. Great work by James as usual
I don’t like this one
Great review, James is nailing these - seems massively more confident now. 😎
This convertible version looks even better than the 296 coupe 🤩. Great video as always guys :)
Great review! Well done James and team. Well driven.
Thank you!
Stunning review guys! I love how James was all giggling and smiling and enjoying the ride!
Thanks so much Arvin! Glad you enjoyed it! Keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon!
Well I laughed all the way through when you had James in the car. The way he was holding on and his facial expressions were priceless haha 😂
I will ALWAYS be partial to the 458. It is pure artwork. HOWEVER, this 269 GTS is BEAUTIFUL without question. Well done. Salute. 👍👍👍
Great review thank you,btw what’s the music in the background at 9m 31s
Wonderful script-writing, I can't tell how much this review moved me! I'll watch it again and again, for sure. That day I was at home and suddenly I saw this stunning 296 gts. I decided then to follow it and yeah ... that was a good idea, because I had the fortune to observe you at work and it was worth it. So cool! Hope to see you again here where I'm from. Best review ever!
Thanks very much for the kind words and for coming to watch :) Glad you got to see the car up close!
Brilliant video once again guys - excellent videography and journalism by real car enthusiasts.
Thanks Ashley 👌
Massive props to the team involved, also James is a great reviewer!
Thank you!
Awesome … the terror on James face had me in stitches 😂
Great video, and stunning rural landscape.
I've always preferred Ferrari's GTBs....328, 355, this model.
Another brilliant video James. 👏👏
Thank you Dickon ☺️
Great videography, commentary, car, scenery, modern TH-cam playhead controls, picture resolution, modern smartphone screen, sound.... the experience of technical progress in use as I watched this video was incredible.
Thank you!
Jesus mate 😂. Absolutely brilliant review, one of the best I have ever seen. Massive kudos to the guys in Maranello.
Thank you!
Your review has made me really want one - excellent review!
Thanks!
That last cinematic scene was beautiful😊
Thank you, props to Albus Studios who shot it 👌👌
Great review, enjoyed that.
Thanks!
Love the sound
Videographer James just created a new meme for sheer, wide-eyed terror and delight all at once.
Excellent piece of automotive journalism. Thank you
Thank you!
Superb Video, truly superb
Thank you!
Brilliant review.
You guys did an incredible job...even made me want to buy one...
Cheers and keep ip up
Thank you!
Mr Denisson, the V8 has not been consigned to the history books. it is pretty much still in use in the flagship SF90 Stradale, as well as in the Roma and the Portofino M.
You lost me when you spelt my name wrong.
JD
Excellent video. Well done James and team.
Thanks!
Looks real sleek, retro a bit. Sounds great for stock
such quality content I hope you guys get more popular soon
Thanks!
Fantastic video…. Definitely the one for me!
I would have it in exactly that spec it’s stunning
Amazing videography. 👏👏
Thanks!
Thou art an exceptional automotive journalist JD - excellent review - thou almost convinceth me to consider a Ferrari but alas I am a devout Porsche GT follower - top review non the less ;-)
Thank you!
You guys should have way more subs
We couldn't agree more! Thanks Jack 😌
"You got so much power over the rev range"
"Yea"
Pure Gold
well done!
11:05 this part fucking killed me😭😭 “Yep” **nervously nods head**
An absolute thoroughbred. Great content👍👍
Cheers Paul! Thanks a lot 😌
superb review!!!
Thanks!
finally a 296 review that doesnt spend 30 mins talking about the EV mode as if anyone buying one wants to save petrol...
I see a few different cars in this model. I see the general shape/roofline from side to rear with rood up 458'ish, front side angled 2022 Corvette, the rear side angle slightly McLaren 675?
800hp!! Wow!!!
Its an auto i suppose. No manual option?
No manual
did James chuck after?
his face was a picture 🤭🤣
I think as others has said this 296 is possibly near the top of the list. proportions look really good.
No, he was fine. James’ have a strong constitution.
@@CARmagazineTV #builtdifferent
your intro, I heard 'welcome to... the best day of my life, and that includes the birth of my first born child '.
FERRARI's car design always has that effortless graceful beauty unlike any other supercar brands.
They look like expensive high-heals.
Such a well written and produced review.... a very good reason to work hard and get rich this car!
Thank you!
Merci.😎
Ferrari is on a roll with design these days...
This is a very good looking Ferrari should age really well
Favolosa 🏎🐺
Side profil quite nice, but the front, and the back...could be better, these front headlight give me an impression of an ordinary car...
Amen!
Looks like a Retro Ferrari from the 80's...Like a mix of a 911 and a Ferrari...👍
Stunning beautiful car
I'm still suffering from a severe laugh flash after seeing true horror in James' face. Can't wait to get my 296 GTS hopefully in 2024.
What a stunning beauty it is 😍🥰 ... my wife is already pretty jealous 😂
Stunningly beautiful sports car of course the price is ridiculous. Money no object wow! Roof off is a great driving experience . In america real people can afford rear mid engine targa and convertible hard top corvettes which is what I daily drive in the NEw York metro area and on weekends mountain passes are mine to enjoy. Great review. Thank you.
great review but he did not just say that he prefers this sound to a pista 💀
James was not laughing. But I was.
We all are 😝 bless him!
Lol your friend looks terrified 🤣
Maybe you can convince him to ride as passenger again in our next review?
My dream car for sure!!!FORZA FERRARI
James has that look on his face of " why did I cancel my insurance policy?"....
😂
That poor Ginger fella.. He was trying so hard not to throw up.. Yup.. Aha.... I was crying with laughter..
This v6 engine sounds much better than the v8. Its got tonage and range where the v8 blare's...Still unsure of the looks , the front has no face , think it's the lights that dont work for me..Still , I'll take the rest and 819hp all day every day.
The new Ferrari’s remind me of early 2000’s Camaro !!!
big tiff vibes from this guy
'Yep'
Alright James we’re done, what about a Birra?
”No thanks”
Love your driving James and passenger needs some brave pills lol 😝
Thanks Malcolm!
One of my best ferrari after Laferrari
Meh, as amazing these modern hybrids are, makes me long more and more for less advanced n/a cars of any kind.
The only modern fast car which makes me swoon is the new Ferris Pure Blood V12. Add equal length headers and done.
Cool
The noise must not come across on video well, because it sounds pretty boring. What a looker though!
Did you have your speakers on mute? 😝 Agreed, it's a stunner!
Pretty uncomfortable watching your passenger suffer like that, the point was?
Maybe we should have said ‘no videographers were harmed in the making of this video’
There's a cheapness to the 296. To me the 296 looks like a model that would've slotted below a f8 tributo not replaced the tributo .
for that price it needs AWD and 200 HP more, than it´s fine.
AWD?!? Nooooooooo
@@CARmagazineTV as a option, why not?
This or 2 Z06?
This of SF90XX
Lol James face say s it all. A "fun" drive is miserable from the passenger seat
‘What Ferarri has brought to those that worship the sun’. I don’t understand this statement. Anybody willing to enlighten me?
A proper supercar.
Agreed!!
Passenger looked frightened haha
Possibly this level of performance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Which is precisely what some competitors have kept in mind. Isn’t all this (very impressive) technology a bit pointless for driving on open roads at reasonable speeds ? When the most and the best and the fastest are barely enough, things start to look like an entrapment.
Is it me or does the front end of modern Ferraris look like a 1990s Camaros
You NEVER (13.04) touch the steering wheel on the inside James! Nice video though.
“Jesus, give me a warning mate”😳😂😂……….aren’t you the same guy that was in the car for the last few minutes as he was sliding around every corner! (Rhetorical)🤦🏽♂️
A great video and a magnificent car but who in the hell buys a Ferrari to be civilized.
No .. nothing like demolish the global with v12 NA
The other guy was TERRIFIED!!
We’ve asked him to come on a shoot with us again but for some reason his phone keeps going to voicemail 🧐
front looks lambo
Mark my words: McLaren 765LT will beat Ferrari 296GTB in a drag race...
Now that's a drag race we wouldn't mind watching!
Is it just me or when they designed this car they though hey lets make a lesser SF90
😂😂 it looked like the passenger was just trying not to throw up 🤢🤮
Bearskin 😛
How can u prefer the sound of this over the v8… impossible ….
Ferrari have taken the path of 'over Technology', instead of keeping it about the driving pleasure and simplicity-
Their new cars don't 'communicate' with the brands followers anymore. A shame.
Their sales figures say otherwise… 😬
@@CARmagazineTV There are 'Nouveau riche victims' born every day
GPF, pathetic sounds. The last great rear engined Ferrari was the 458 My C8 sounds 100 times better.
V6?????
Wayyyyy too much money for that
