Redundant steering wheel buttons are mostly in play. An owner isn’t going to fiddle with the hepatic controls once desired settings are made. It’s only an issue for road testers. Also, esoteric design should be expected in this class of car, and appreciated once the car is out of production for its uniqueness.

Ferrari engineer’s skipped 2 lines of codes as they thought every people would stop the ignition after the warning but not every people is Matt Watson 😂
It works. Only the warning is after the first time vehicle exit without propulsion cutoff. I guess they figure if you didn't cut it off after the first warning, it was intentional.
By missing out those two lines of code, they saved 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000002 g of weight with the missing electrons. Attention to detail all the way with Ferrari
I will ALWAYS prefer buttons and switches to touch pads. Volume and AC controls should always be dials and switches. I like the gated panel for D R P and... but why not go that extra bit further and actually make it so you can slide the switches up and down. VERY nice design!!
@@XantoS771 "Why would anyone get a 296 when the 911 Turbo is the same kind of money" - There's absolutely no chance I would get ANY series production Porsche, if I had the chance to get the Ferrari 296 for the same money!! Porsche makes great cars, for sure but nothing they make can touch the 296.
Think cause that’s the last Ferrari to be styled by pinninfarina, Ferraris today still look drop dead gorgeous but the Ferrari/Pinninfarina combination made outrageously good looking cars
@Pierce Lawless okay let me rephrase😂 for me personally, I think 458 > 488, F8, sf90, 296 and f12 > 812. The pinninfarina designs were just really good to look at.
The ignition on honking didn't work the 2nd time cause the car thought you sat in your car and then closed the door, that's why when you did it for the 3rd time it warned since it thought you got out of the car and forgot to turn it completely off! Hope this helps!
No way!! The 458 Speciale is not better looking than the 296; Ferrari absolutely NAILED it with this design. I think it's been decades since the last time they produced a car that beautiful!
Hey Matt, I love your videos, but please stop closing the pillarless doors by touching the window. That will leave smudges, instead just close it using the actual door itself.
I think part of the numbers not matching up with the quoted figures is that the car has weighted luxury options and not the hardcore lightest package. Furthermore, Ferrari likes to use their Fiorano track which is much more grippy and slightly downhill.
i suppose if you think about it, v6's now compared to the 90's are the same as modern v8's compared to the 70's. the same size engine but now they make a hell of a lot more power. it's amazing to think what's possible with just a rework of an engine
Everything in this Ferrari 296 GTB are absolutely insane! The 296 GTB's design and performance are the best for a supercar! Definitely the Ferrari 296 GTB is one of my dreamcar!
Had the opportunity to track one. Stunning performance. Hybrid operation is seamless. Sounds incredible. Hard to believe it’s a V6. Spot on about the brake by wire. If you didn’t know you would feel sure it was hydraulic.
Got to sit in one when the local dealership brought it to the hotel I work in during a big event, I know they’re performance cars, but I never expected how sporty it would feel to sit in one. It’s so different to a normal car. Feels so low almost like a cart. Great experience
If they don't overload their cars with technology and touch buttons, people will complain how stuck amd old fashioned the manufacturer is. I prefer a healthy mix of old fashioned, with a bit of technology. I prefer analogue speedometers, but i like and appreciate additional digital speedos like having a little screen underneath the analogue speedo.

Really interesting to watch this difference in breaking distance at different speeds. This would deserve a video on its own and would be nice to go a little more deep down in to this issue :)
@@p123-f7u The list of great sounding V6 is very short. On that list would be first-gen NSX, 2GR V6 in Lotus models, 350/370Z, VW VR6. What else is there?

In fact, this car is capable of completing a 1/4 mile in 9.74 seconds with a straight pipe exhaust (870hp) and better tarmac than what is currently present.

Ill always take naturally aspirated and good looking. That leaved the 458, 458 speciale, and the various V12 front mid engine cars such as the 812 SuperFast.
braking distance increase from 60 -> 100 mph makes sense. kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity. a 66% increase in speed results in a 176% increase of kinetic energy (or 2.76x), which means nearly 3x the braking distance.

Looks like it's a bit cold at your location? That's probably why the touch stuff is less than responsive. Not an excuse, just an explanation. Cold hands don't work too well on capacitive devices.
Maybe, the made the touch buttons less sensitive, as I believe people kept complaining that they are too sensitive, and people kept pressing them by accident, when turning the wheel.

How's Matt gona say with a straight face that this is better than an sf90? What makes it better? Fuel economy? Emissions? Like that matters with a super car,the sf90 is still on another level of performance
I’m 53. I reckon buying 15 fiesta’s and throwing them away as soon as they come up for a service. I think 15 would probably last enough time to prevent the need for ever having to use a garage again before it’s time for me to hang up my keys. If I happened to be left with a couple I would probably just sign off with the world record holder for the longest donut!
Great looking. Great performance. Unforgivable interior. Since I'm inside a car more than looking at it, this would be at the bottom of the Ferrari list for me.
Daughter & her hubby were in Maranello at the Ferrari factory last weekend. They were speccing his new 296 GTB. He is trading in his F8 Tributo that he has had for less than a year. He & the daughter are in agreement with you, both saying that it is currently the best Ferrari available, in fact now the daughter is wanting to chop in her California T against a GTS but I think she may have to wait a while!
Can't be done. Order books have been closed since late May. Unless their dealer has an allocation they can get from someone else, not much can be done get get an extra order in.
The combustion engine alone produces more power than the lambo huracan tecnica engine. and that is a 5.2-litre engine, this is almost half that. I guess it uses the extra space just to sound better
Companies just need to STOP with the touch sensitive fake buttons in the interior phase. Let's go back to physical buttons. We're driving cars not smart phones.
This car is almost perfect. Sounds so good, but i don’t think it’s that loud (i think we have to listen it in real life to have an idea). And I love the design.
Any Ferrari is good,as long as they’re under 20.000$,don’t care about hp,fancy this,and special that, okay 20 is cheap, I’ll go to 29.999.........too low? All right,an even 30.000!
Those are underbody vortex generators, they guide airflow to increase downforce by creating a "vacuum effect" underneath the car which in return reduces body lift. These help in keeping the car planted to the ground during corners and at high speeds. You typically find these in race cars, but Ferrari implements them in their road cars as well.

How's Matt gona say with a straight face that this is better than an sf90? What makes it better? Fuel economy? Emissions? Like that matters with a super car,the sf90 is still on another level of performance
Only a few years back, every car maker said that 100g of emission was an impossible target.
1) f8 2) MC20 3) gtb 4) artura 5) huracan/r8.. (but I think I am going 458 for my next one).
I’m 53. I reckon buying 15 fiesta’s and throwing them away as soon as they come up for a service. I think 15 would probably last enough time to prevent the need for ever having to use a garage again before it’s time for me to hang up my keys. If I happened to be left with a couple I would probably just sign off with the world record holder for the longest donut!
Run the accel/decel tests on a prepped track and sticky Michelins and you’ll discover quicker/shorter results…
True with any vehicle
People under estimating the 296. The car is a killer. I've had many cars cost twice as much, hard to come close to this beast.
Great looking. Great performance. Unforgivable interior. Since I'm inside a car more than looking at it, this would be at the bottom of the Ferrari list for me.
Go and driven one, and you will change your mind.
Looks like a Lancia Stratos from the side.
The face is a bit bland compared to the F8 but the rear 3/4 is a great nod to the 246.
Daughter & her hubby were in Maranello at the Ferrari factory last weekend. They were speccing his new 296 GTB. He is trading in his F8 Tributo that he has had for less than a year. He & the daughter are in agreement with you, both saying that it is currently the best Ferrari available, in fact now the daughter is wanting to chop in her California T against a GTS but I think she may have to wait a while!
Can't be done. Order books have been closed since late May. Unless their dealer has an allocation they can get from someone else, not much can be done get get an extra order in.
The Android Auto problem is probably a glitch. The Purosangue and F8 Tributo both support it and I think officially Ferrari said the 296 supports it.
Rather have the hurucan tecnica. Much more refined system, doesn’t have weird ass buttons that are unresponsive.
I think that's the best sounding V6 engine of 2023, i can't believe it sounds nearly as good as a Ferrari v12 engine ❤🎉
I’m French and I just love how this man reviews cars through his comments 😂 keep going 😌🙏🏽
You should do a rolling race between two plug in hybrids where you start in electric only mode, and on go, bring in the ICE
The combustion engine alone produces more power than the lambo huracan tecnica engine. and that is a 5.2-litre engine, this is almost half that. I guess it uses the extra space just to sound better
What’s the point when the teams plays does the same thing for 1/3 Price? And it’s motors last 500k miles no maintenance.
Companies just need to STOP with the touch sensitive fake buttons in the interior phase. Let's go back to physical buttons. We're driving cars not smart phones.
This car is almost perfect. Sounds so good, but i don’t think it’s that loud (i think we have to listen it in real life to have an idea). And I love the design.
Any Ferrari is good,as long as they’re under 20.000$,don’t care about hp,fancy this,and special that, okay 20 is cheap,
I’ll go to 29.999.........too low? All right,an even 30.000!
What are the broken/bent looking pieces seen at the underbody at 0:50? Why can't they build proper flat underbodies to protect the car?
Those are underbody vortex generators, they guide airflow to increase downforce by creating a "vacuum effect" underneath the car which in return reduces body lift. These help in keeping the car planted to the ground during corners and at high speeds. You typically find these in race cars, but Ferrari implements them in their road cars as well.
Hi Carwow, I was just wondering why when I tried to sell my car through you I wasn't offered the service you are promoting here and instead I was told to agree a minimum reserve price and then the car would be sold through an auction? Was just disappointing to be told to look at motorway as an alternative...
It's an ok car for me.
I don't like the look of that big opening over the engine area
I'd rather the cheaper better looking lotus emira
