It’s wonderful what number of members I’ve spoken to in regards to the Ferrari 296 GTB after watching the video we launched on the automotive again in late January, all asking the identical factor — “So ought to I purchase one?”.

Plainly the 296 has actually captured the eye of the serial supercar purchaser, as many who like to modify between totally different unique manufacturers are being drawn to the most recent providing from Maranello, and I don’t blame them. The vast majority of supercars are actually starting to lose that spark whereas they hunt for the quickest 0-60 and lap instances which, let’s face it, are completely meaningless on a street automotive.

Turbocharging and OPF filters are additionally firming down the noise, one other large issue driving fans like us hanker after. Admit it, once you drop a couple of cogs and squeeze on the throttle, you’re not likely bothered about how briskly you speed up so long as there’s adequate G-force pushing you into your seat accompanied by the roar of a correct engine.

That’s the place the 296 has actually come by means of. Okay, I’ll be the primary to confess that it’s nonetheless method too quick, however not less than once you do deploy even 40% of the automotive’s potential on the street, it’s thrilling for the motive force. Noise fills the cabin, your neck muscular tissues tense ahead and your arse turns into at one with the street. So, in reply to the query, sure, purchase one!

However in the event you do nonetheless wish to name and chat about automobiles, then I’m at all times up for it. I’ll not be capable of get that thrill of spending a couple of hundred grand on my subsequent automotive, however I’ll equally get pleasure from serving to you spend it on yours!
