    Wrong!
    It's about the 12V system which is not the hybrid.
    You have any idea what voltage the hybrid system is -
    Many cars built during covid have issues - could be a loose plug to a severed wire but the actual hybrid battery has zero issues
    Why don't you talk to someone who owns or works on Ferrari hybrids - you might learn a few things by putting in some effort.

    Well, I don't have to worry about the battery in the hybrid Ferrari because I wouldn't every contemplate owning one.;)

    Wrong a 488 GTB not a Pista.

    Cocoloco is the rare driver who has old and new Ferrari automobiles. Typically they don't mix.

    296 is a hybrid. It’s going to be a hybrid. It’s better because of it.

    I only asked because he made an assumption about me and then hasn't verified having a Ferrari.

    Neither have you, but I know you do as I have seen pictures over the years.

    My dealer confirmed there will be coupe, spider , and piloti versions and that US dealers know how many allocations they will get of each. Spider allocations are much more limited than coupes and only going to TOP clients, not sure if that’s true at all dealerships or only this particular one. So if you are getting one you should expect a call soon if you have not already gotten the call.

    I’m sure the car will be amazing, I hope the exterior styling is aggressive like the sf90xx.

    Whatever talk about residuals, hybrid and stuff is just talk. I like the 296 a lot. I love Ferrari too.

    Excited for this VS model (I’ve said that a bunch). Once pics and more news comes out we will have something really good to talk about.

    Good info.

    None of the VS models have ever disappointed the styling department (for me at least). Excited to see this one. Excited to hear it too.

    Never even knew about this either, lol. I’m probably not verified in the 488/488/F8 sub.

    It's a passion. people piss in threads as If Ferrari offended them by building a sports car.
    I do drive my cars daily - today the Dino and SF90, worked my whole life and if hybrid Ferrari is offensive ... they can KMA and never encountered dislike for Ferrari's as here - in real life these posters would never say these things to people at car meets - in fact just the opposite. So apologies but the sh*t talk gets old.

    Dude, just stop taking people’s opinions as a personal attack against you. You have a lot of passion for Ferrari which is very cool and commendable, but it’s okay to also let someone else have an opinion that is different than yours. It doesn’t discredit the work you’ve done in life or whatever you think

    Why do we continue to talk about hybrids and if you like them or not and values of cars??????........ Who gives a crap. You dont like hybrids? Buy Older Ferraris. Hybrid is here to stay. Scared of losing money on cars???? Look I get that no one likes to lose money but if youre not in the car business then why do you even care? This is a toy/hobby/fun. You dont make money on cars you make money in your business/profession to spend on cars because you like them. Not because youre going to make money on them. Buy what you like, drive the **** out of it and have fun, enjoy life. Forget what these things cost to own, we're privileged to be able to have them.

    I question if 99.9% of people who hate these hybrids would know they were driving one if they weren’t told it was a hybrid. I’d argue most would have no clue. I don’t own a 296 or SF but have spent a lot of time in both and they are pretty incredible cars. I personally couldn’t really tell the difference in race mode and loved the ability to turn the engine off when taking a call. I’m doing Corsa Pilota for the first time and am looking forward to driving the 296 on the track given how everyone raves about them. I’m assuming I will love it and am trying to get a VS at some point.

    So spot on. The amount of posts on this form about “will this model or that make money” is comical. Buy it to enjoy. That’s what it was made for!
