Ferrari 296 GTB Rental in Boston

This is Ferrari’s newest thinking about what a mid-engine supercar should be — a six-cylinder hybrid that outperforms cars twice its cylinder count, and the most technically advanced Ferrari in our fleet.

What’s Actually Under It

A 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 654 horsepower on its own, paired with an electric motor adding another 165 horsepower — a combined 819 horsepower sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Zero to 60 arrives in roughly 2.9 seconds, and the car will run past 205 mph. It’s also genuinely capable of about 15 miles on electric power alone — useful for a quiet, gas-free crawl through a hotel valet line before the V6 wakes up.

Ferrari calls this their first “real” six-cylinder road car, distinguishing it from the old V6 Dino models sold under a separate badge decades ago. The smaller, lighter V6 combined with electric assist is Ferrari’s answer to building something that’s both quicker than the outgoing F8 Tributo and meaningfully more efficient.

What It’s Like to Actually Drive

This isn’t a car that needs the engine spinning to feel alive — the electric motor fills in low-end response instantly, so there’s no turbo lag waiting for boost to build. Once the twin-turbos are fully on, the acceleration is relentless rather than a single hard hit. Ferrari’s Side Slip Control system manages all 819 horsepower through the rear wheels alone, which is a genuinely different feeling than the all-wheel-drive Urus in our fleet — more classic Ferrari, more feedback through the wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 296 AWD like the Urus?

No — the 296 is rear-wheel drive, in the classic Ferrari mid-engine tradition. All 819 horsepower goes through the rear wheels alone.

How is a V6 Ferrari faster than the V8 F8 Tributo?

The electric motor makes the difference — 165 hp of instant torque fills in exactly where a traditional engine has to wait for revs to build, on top of a genuinely potent 654-hp twin-turbo V6.

Can this car actually drive on electric power alone?

Yes, for roughly 15 miles — useful for a quiet exit from a hotel or garage before the V6 engages.

Is the 296 harder to drive than your other Ferraris?

Not necessarily harder, but it rewards more attention — all the power goes through two wheels rather than four, and the delivery is more immediate than the F8 or Portofino.

Is this available for same-day booking?

Sometimes, but this is one of our most in-demand cars — a day or two of advance notice is the safer bet if a specific date matters to you.
