Who it suits. Drivers wanting a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive Ferrari Short trips that can use its 8 electric miles Owners with access to 240-volt charging
The 296 GTB fits a buyer who wants a Ferrari two-seater with rear-wheel drive and a plug-in option for short journeys. Its 8-mile electric range limits how much driving can avoid gasoline. On longer routes, expect the 18 MPG combined rating to matter more than the 47 MPGe figure. The EPA's $4,550 annual fuel estimate and 398 grams of CO2 per mile describe a costly, high-emission driving pattern despite the hybrid system. A 240-volt connection takes 2.5 hours to charge.
What it is
The 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB is a two-seat car with rear-wheel drive. It uses a 2.9-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, gasoline, and a plug-in hybrid system. An automatic AM-S8 transmission sends the drive to the rear wheels.
The EPA numbers
Its combined EPA figure is 47 MPGe, with 8 miles of electric range. Energy use is 72 kWh per 100 miles. Once gasoline use is counted, the combined rating is 18 MPG.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $4,550. That figure reflects the car's 16 MPG city and 22 MPG highway gasoline ratings, along with its plug-in-hybrid operation. Tailpipe emissions are 398 grams of CO2 per mile.
How it compares
The 296 GTB's EPA figures are 8 miles of electric range, 47 MPGe combined, and 18 MPG combined on gasoline.
Who it suits
It suits a driver who wants a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive car and can use its 8 electric miles between charges. The 47 MPGe combined figure matters most when those short electric trips are part of regular driving.
Trade-offs
The electric range is limited to 8 miles, so longer trips rely more on the 18 MPG combined gasoline rating. City economy is 16 MPG versus 22 MPG on the highway. A 240-volt charge takes 2.5 hours, and energy use is 72 kWh per 100 miles.
Verdict
Choose the 296 GTB if a two-seat Ferrari layout and rear-wheel drive come first, with some plug-in driving available for short trips. Its electric portion is brief, and the gasoline figures point to substantial fuel use on longer drives. The $4,550 yearly EPA estimate gives a clear running-cost baseline. A 2.5-hour 240-volt charge can restore its small electric range, but this remains a car for drivers comfortable balancing electric miles with gasoline travel.
