The design of the 296 GTB is a clear indication that the Roma was not a one off in bringing back an elegance to Ferrari road cars. It marries the advanced aerodynamic and hybrid drivetrain technology with an aesthetic that harkens back to the 250 LM race car. This hybrid system shows great potential for its usability. Henry reviews the 296 GTB to find out how well it does balances supercar and everyday car.

    Started watching the top gear review of this car but clicked on this one immediately when I got the notification!
  • @Eruvadhor
    That opening sequence is worthy of a Bond movie, stunning stuff! And that's a pretty good looking car, I've never been a fan of the Roma, and it's prettier than the SF90 too.
  • @vaughnsigal4560
    First mid engined Ferrari I've liked since the 458. Looks stunning
  • @lennyboe
    If this is what a hybrid Ferrari future looks like, Sign me up. Gorgeous.
  • @Qambar44
    Henry has the most nuanced reviews in the auto journalism game , and the crew has some of the best direction, editing and cinematography πŸ‘πŸ½. Mega bond vibes in the beginning of this episode
  • @cestusfr
    Numbers are amazing BUT the design is gloriously classic! I loved the F8 softness to the design but this car is one of the greatest design Ferrari has done in the last 40 years or so. A futur classic!
  • @Beezy_Builds
    Carfection always gets my attention first when these Embargos drop
  • @dmacpher
    Bond intro music is a fantastic touch
  • @tamasszabo8824
    The 296GTB is part of my dream garage, along with the GT3 Touring and the GMA.T33.
  • @chesspiece81
    You magnificent giant you. I love that car reviews and the cinematography have become elevated to a level like this. Beautiful cars deserve to be shot in a beautiful way to showcase them.
  • @synthnseq
    Can you imagine how much this vid would have cost to produce 10-20 years ago? Excellent work.
  • @dougcargill6730
    If there were an Academy Award / BAFTA / you name it for YouTube, the opening sequence would win hands down. The cinematography is matched perfectly with the music. The team at Carfection has outdone themselves. Bravissimo.
  • @JustinJadunath
    Mans just ate EVERYONE'S lunch with this video. Between the cinematography, the Bond vibes, and damn well everything Henry and his gang do, no one has a CHANCE. Looking at you, EVO, etc.
  • @JoeAchilles1
    Yet another fantastic video guys πŸ‘ I thought this 296 would be more of a ticking box exercise for modern legislation, seems I was totally wrong! Looks Incredible, Henry has certainly sold it to me (just need to win the lottery). I can't see many McLaren selling many Arturas now 🧐
  • @creekfreak1997
    Took a little time for me to come around to the design, especially the lack of circular taillights, but this is a beautiful bridge to the future for Ferrari. Another fantastic video from you all, looking forward to the next one!
  • @Patr1ck2332
    You start watching the top gear video, then get the notification for the EVO video, so you go watch that. Then carfection pops up and you have to turn that off to listen to the best in the business, HC!
  • @elanamariew
    I was pretty skeptical about this car when it released but I wanted to wait until I was able to see it in the real world. It looks stunning and plenty powerful. Very much reminds me of the 918 but much cheaper, more useable, and flexible as well. If I ever have the money, this would be on my Ferrari shortlist.
  • @Xyzabc998
    9:03, impressive tyres coming off rim shot. Yet another superb looking Ferrari.
