The Italian company Ferrari's first fully electric vehicle, the "Luce," is already sold out through 2027. In the U.S., the car starts at $560,800; however, neither the high price nor the criticism of its design has dampened buyer interest. The 5 terrorists had accomplices…

Our argument is simple. The car is the entry ticket; the program is the asset. The Modificata is worth studying not as a collectible in the traditional sense, but as a test of whether the market will price access to…

This is not an argument that a factory one-off must be worth its build cost. It rarely is. It is an argument that a one-off is only as valuable as the documentation that proves what it is, and that the…
When the 296 GTB arrived in 2021, it broke a Ferrari taboo. Here was a mid-engined Maranello road car with six cylinders, the first since the Dino of the late 1960s and 1970s, and a plug-in hybrid besides. The engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with an unusually wide 120-degree angle between its cylinder banks, paired with an electric motor for a combined output of roughly 820 horsepower, and Ferrari's engineers were so pleased with its shrieking character that they nicknamed it the little V12.
The 296 can travel a short distance on electricity alone, enough to slip out of a town center without waking the neighbors, but its real purpose is speed. Its short wheelbase and compact dimensions make it feel more agile than some larger Ferraris, and testers have praised its steering, brakes and eagerness, while noting the weight and complexity that the hybrid hardware adds. An open GTS with a folding hard top followed in 2022, and the Assetto Fiorano package added lighter parts and track-focused suspension.
Racing versions spread the name further, with the 296 GT3 for customer teams and a one-make Challenge series, and in 2025 Ferrari added the 296 Speciale, a lighter, more powerful version in the tradition of the 458 Speciale and 488 Pista. In the showroom the 296 faces the McLaren Artura, its closest hybrid V6 rival, as well as the Lamborghini Temerario and the most powerful Porsche 911s, and it serves as the entry point to Ferrari's mid-engined range below the 849 Testarossa.
Because the 296 sits at the center of Ferrari's lineup, coverage here also reaches into wider Maranello news, from new models and racing results to quarterly earnings and auction headlines. For the car itself, watch for reviews and comparison tests, special editions, recalls and software updates, and the eventual question of what replaces it, as Ferrari balances hybrids, its first electric car and its long-held loyalty to combustion. Whatever the answer, the 296 has already proved that a Ferrari with six cylinders and a plug can still stir the soul.
