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.

Carfection has better cinematography than movies.
-
Started watching the top gear review of this car but clicked on this one immediately when I got the notification!
-
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.
-
First mid engined Ferrari I've liked since the 458. Looks stunning
-
If this is what a hybrid Ferrari future looks like, Sign me up. Gorgeous.
-
Henry has the most nuanced reviews in the auto journalism game , and the crew has some of the best direction, editing and cinematography ππ½. Mega bond vibes in the beginning of this episode
-
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!
-
Carfection always gets my attention first when these Embargos drop
-
James Bond ...ish music is fantastic
-
Bond intro music is a fantastic touch
-
The 296GTB is part of my dream garage, along with the GT3 Touring and the GMA.T33.
-
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.
-
Can you imagine how much this vid would have cost to produce 10-20 years ago? Excellent work.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yet another fantastic video guys π 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 π§
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.

9:03, impressive tyres coming off rim shot. Yet another superb looking Ferrari.
