The fact that the engineering and hard work that the brainiacs at Ferrari are doing are completely disregarded if the car doesn’t sound “up to par” is still insane to me. There’s more to a car than sound people
I drove that same exact car, it’s a beast. I even check the plates. Same one. I was lucky enough to be invited to a private Ferrari event. This car is no joke. Great review
Highway 33 starting out in Ojai, CA is one of the best. Go have breakfast in Ojai Valley Inn then go up past Pine Mountain summit, then turn around when you get the halfway station bar and grill.
@@itz.j3.5 A turbocharged engine will always sound muted it doesn't matter what exhaust you put on it. Just compare the Ferrari 296 GT3 with the Ferrari 458 GT3, the 296 still sounds muted even with the racing exhaust on it. It's one of the quietest cars on the track compared with the naturally aspirated Porsche 911 GT3 R flat-six or Mercedes AMG GT3 6.2 V8.
That's got to be one of the prettiest ferrari's i've seen in many generations now. Has the hip lines, the silhouette is nice and simple but refined. You know the designers who made it have a mature taste, and it looks like they're deriving some of these lines from older models. Just beautiful! And the sound! 🥰
This might be a little bit controversial, but I do like the v6 sound that the 296 gtb made even more than the v8 sound made from the classic 458 italia It sounds more like a mini v12 rather than a regular grumbling v6 from a GTR or the Ford GT (2016 model), which I do find interesting indeed
I don't blame you at all. And Yes. GTR has that weird grumbling that makes it sound broken. There are many children out there who likes that kind of thing. Ferrari has magic and soul to make the engine sound more smoother.
I agree with you too, I never thought the 458 sounded as amazing to my ears as everyone else and I actually prefer this V6 howl better than that 4-cylinder super bike on steroids sound of a 458
Nah, just type in 458 IPE exhaust or 458 Novitec exhaust in the search bar above. There is no comparison. The naturally aspirated V8 sounds so much better, especially from the outside.
The Ferrari 296 is my favorite current Ferrari! A Hybrid V6 that sounds amazing, but Ferrari used the smaller size of the engine to make a smaller, more fun car! 🤯 They used the smaller engine as an advantage, THIS is how you downsize an engine! ❤️❤️
I gotta love how when Honda did this with the NSX, every car reviewer and keyboard warrior hated it. When Ferrari does it, it's all good, amazing, and wicked.
@@wbwayne8887 I believe it's just brand snobbery by awful auto journalists. That's all. It was HATED by the same people making this video. The NSX performed the same if not better than it's rivals at the time the 488 and Hurracan when released.
Lol the NSX had 2 turbos, 3 electric motors, and was still slower than most cars in its class in a straight line and on track. This has 800hp. That’s the difference.
My favorite Ferrari by far and GM's inspiration for the C8 Z06. The 458 Italia is the only Ferrari I ever had the privilege of riding in. It was an incredible experience.
Roads y'all should hit? I got a good loop for ya - Otay Lakes Road (Otay Ranch, CA) -> Right on Campo Road, follow all the way until it ends on i8 -> West on i8 -> Exit to Sunrise Highway. From there, you can either keep following Sunrise highway to as far as it will take you, or turn left part way through on to route 79 and go back south to El Cajon, CA. Enjoy the twisties!
I’ve driven those exact roads in my corvette C8 and MAN is it a blast!!! You boys are lucky to drive that in the 296! Definitely my new favorite Ferrari. Can’t wait to see what they come up with for the track special version that will surely come out soon.
I like how the GoPro focused on that tiny bit of your hand on the right of the picture instead of the two people that were sitting in the center of the frame.
The reason why it’s a 2.991 Liter engine instead of a 3.0 liter is because in many European countries, vehicle registration fees are taxed by displacement. If you cross the threshold for 3.0 liters, you are subjected to a much higher vehicle registration cost that you need to renew periodically. It’s why there are so many 2.0 L turbo cars, downsized and turbocharged for both emissions but also cost to the owners. All of these “2.0 liters” are actually like 1.995 liters for the same reason.
Ferrari does it again, reliable, super fun and the retro modern look nailed . Artura only need to report its reliability over the next year. Because it looks to be as fun at a lower price.
This is my favorite Ferrari. Only the 288 GTO comes close, and this 296 GTB is a bargain compared to that. Also, I my 6' 5" lanky frame might actually fit inside this from what I've heard. Great video Guys!...I was hoping you'd get to the 296GTB.
Wow, only a handful of V6's actually sound good. This one sounds fantastic. But I actually think the sound is better from the outside than the inside. Not that it sounds bad inside, it sounds amazing, but it sounds even better from the exhaust.
If i would buy a Ferrari, id get this. It’s so powerful, surprisingly good sounding and yet its small and nimble! Literally a pocket rocket My dream is an 812 GTS or F12 TDF, but this ain’t bad
AMAZING review! Can't wait for more from the your trip to California. p.s. The in car camera focus was locked on the steering wheel rather than your faces which was a bit off for this video. (things happen, just fyi)
Aaaaaall good bro... That's why I barely watch these kind of motor channels. For example, they do not love the sound but they say; it's future sound. Craaaaappp
Having been lucky enough to own a Ferrari now you know why a Ferrari is Ferrari. Just something about it. That heritage. That extra something special that can’t be gauged unless you own one. It’s unparalleled and no other super car can do this. Only Ferrari. ❤
Great review, as usual. BTW, you would say, "Driving down PCH . . ." (instead of "Driving down the PCH . . ."). You almost sound like you're from Canada or some such place (Lol).
the front looks like a 5th/6th gen corvette front end, and a kia stinger rear end. the side view is immaculate, but the rest just doesnt do it for me for some reason. but i drive a Mazda 3 so my opinion of ferraris probably doesnt matter lol, ill never even sit in one most likely
Decent Review but, you guys seemed too "Smitten" by this vehicle. Other reviews are a bit more critical especially regarding the interior function controls. However, the scenery curvy road and tunnels were a big plus! You guys always do a good job and give fair reviews. Thank You Both!
This thing is fuggin gorgeous. I am mad no rich Portlanders have bought them for me to ogle. Come up a bit more north next time and see the great roads of Oregon and Washington!
You guys HAVE TO drive California Highway 236 (aka Big Basin Highway). It's in Northern California's Bay Area, and snakes through a redwood forest. Nothing like it in the world imo
Ferrari did a lot right here. I hope they sell many so they can devalue and I can finally afford buy one in 15 years. Also, brake ducts under the DRLs; every 1997-2004 chevrolet corvette. Also a great access point to change out your burnt DRLs/turn signals.
I wish most vehicles would get rid of the center stack in exchange for doing everything in the gauge cluster. It's just a more convenient location and it encourages minimizing touch screen inputs.

This new 2.9L TT V6 is a masterpiece, sounds so much like their N/A V12 and sounds so much better than their TT V8, just needs an exhaust.
Sure it sounds like a V12 a bit but it sounds like a neutered over restricted V12

Great review Guys as always ! So happy you got your hands on a mid engine Ferrari finally and on the Pacific coast highway as a bonus 😁
Us too!
the face of fear jakob gets after saying “is this fast? lets find out” is amazing
I'm not crazy about the MX-6 front end but I love the Batmobile soundtrack! (from the closing credits of the original animated series in 1968).
They did such a good job with that sound. Definitely agree on the best sounding V6 statement.

Can't wait to see the comparison between this Ferrari and the Mclaren Artura. Both incredible cars. The 2nd gen NSX was truly a car before it's time.
Wasn't the F40's V8 displacement 2.9l?
This is a perfect Italian gem of 2023! And I like that it looks a bit old classic with the rounded edges.
The 296 is an absolutely stunning machine. So elegant, classy and just spectacularly beautiful. Sounds fantastic too.
It's super ugly. Right up there with the Scaglietti.
It’s the ugliest Ferrari I have ever seen.

No other brand can make awesome cars as ferrari🔥🔥
one of the best looking modern Ferraris for me
Stunningly beautiful rolling art from the masters of unobtainium.
I’ll take it with out the hybrid system and a manual gated trans!
Its a 120° v6 so thats why it sounds the way it does. So its almost a flat 6
Mikey likey. Hybrids over full electric! We went from the Prius to this in 20 years.
Sounds similar ish to the S4 but the elevated red line really brings out the character
i can’t be called 306 because Peugeot has the trademark on car names in X0X form
the porsche 911 was supposed to be called 901
Nice ride and I enjoyed your enthusiasm in this video .
Beautiful care and great sound from a V6, but for that much money I would take a new Z06 corvette + a new truck + 4 sets of track tires.
You'd still have $200,000+ left over.
When a car is so fun too drive you can't even think lol
The front portion, especially the headlights look like the 4th generation 90's Camaro from certain angles.
