2026 Ferrari 296 GTB review

Ferrari 296 GTB: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.7/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB sits near the top of its class. Looks the part; engine note that rewards the throttle. Premium fuel recommended and stiff ride on broken roads, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $340,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Second one we've owned

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.

We cross-shopped three others and this won on steering feel. the firm ride is the trade-off.
