Ferrari 296 GTB Picture Thread

Well it’s right at the center of the back end so you won’t really see it alongside the wheels often. It’s also surrounded by black mesh… maybe if you could get the mesh in silver it’ll make more sense [emoji848]

Job security for detailers everywhere!

 

exhaust pipe too far back

 

Definitely not a problem Ferrari is talking about . When I speced the black carbon exhaust the dealer just said ' good idea'

 

No, not Tailor Made or Atelier

 

I am using GTECHNIQ "All Metal Polish M1 v2" product recommended on a post I cannot find now – works a treat.

That having been said I ordered the black exhaust for my GTS.

 

Could you post the order number of the seats from the 'Summary of your selected options' ?

Looks like:

......

Leather - Seats

CLDT - Extracampionario-not Standard (Leather Inner Details)
CLDX - Pelle Gialla 113266 (Special Leather Inner Details) SPEC

Leather - Cockpit & Dashboard

.....

Thanks in advance!

 

i don't know what a woman is any more.

 

It is TdF Blue.

Thanks so much!! I love the way it came out.
Still learning to drive it and how to best utilize it. This car is so different from literally every other car that I have had.

There probably needs to be a thread on how to drive a hybrid Ferrari, like all the modes- when to use them, what they are like, and so on. I have read all the theoretical stuff and the manual, but some actual hands on experience and explanations would help a lot.

 

Interesting. I'm afraid I can't help, still all ICE in my collection. I'll be interested to hear what you learn though. 296 is achingly beautiful and people I trust are full of praise for it. Wouldn't be surprised if I end up with one at some point...

Enjoy!

 

Few more from a late night excursion. I genuinely like this car more and more as I drive it.

Yes the same with me. Is there another/darker grey color besides grigio corsa available and has anybody an example of that ?

 

This is Canna Di Fucile.

It is option code RIMP for wheels painted in a gloss finish and option code RIMM for a matt finish. I believe you can select any colour but you'd have to confirm this with your dealer. You can also option bi-colour wheels with code RIMB. The dealer who sent me the pic of the Canna Di Fucile painted wheel says this colour compliments the exterior carbon really well.

 

This looks gorgeous !!! Thank you. Does your dealer also have an example with canna de fucile in matt finish?

FWIW,

I mostly use 2 of the e-manettino modes. EDrive and QUalify. I find the others to be not very helpful in my driving. The hybrid mode is annoying that it will toggle the engine on and off and the performance mode just seems like a weaker version of the Qualify mode. However that is for my area. I usually leave the regular manettino in race unless the conditions are poor— which has only happened once. Then I will go to wet mode and probably turn the eManettino to performance only because it backs off everything a bit.

I like to leave the standard screen on and I let it flip back and forth to CarPlay when needed. When it flips for a message if you press on the haptic square on the right side of the steering wheel once to wake it, then press again for it to read the message, sometimes it needs an extra tap or maybe my tap isn’t tappy enough…. To get back to the main screen, wake the controls by touching that square on the right and then when you see the home button light up just hold it down and it will flip right back. It is not as bad as I first thought, but still not as easy for me as the older system.

The car doesnt just have a lot of power- it is insane. So if you are newer to cars with big power, Id recommend the performance + sport modes to get acquainted with it when the roads are warm and dry. I love driving it, but Ive gotten wheel spin through 4th gear and I get the sense if one were not extra careful she could bite.

I should also add where I live there are fun roads but they are not endless bends so its possible someone at the track or on roads that just go on for miles and miles might deplete the qualify mode. In my driving I find the performance mode actually depletes the battery down to 50% and then stays there. Qualify seems to give you more but it also seems to regenerate more. I bet if I could be on it for longer periods I would get Qualify to deplete the battery, but due to my conditions I often get out with 100% battery.

Also... I recommend playing with the throttle in auto mode. It's really telepathic.
As you feel the car better, you can downshift to varying gears by modulating speed and depth of the throttle. (How quickly and deep you press the pedal.)

I used to drive in Manual modes on most Ferraris. This is the first car I love driving in Auto. It's that good.

 

I found the same - just use eDrive or Qualifying…. Qualifying charges the battery up again quicker than Hybrid etc and Hybrid also seems a bit unpredictable when the engine will cut in (scare pedestrians etc )… not sure what the other Mode with the chequered flag is really needed for…

Love the sets - IMO blue calipers maybe a better choice

 

Ya blue calipers to match the interior would be epic.
