Ferrari 296 GTB supercar revealed with unusual V6 engine
Fox News
The Ferrari 296 GTB features a turbocharged V6 hybrid powertrain with 818 hp and an all-electric driving range of 15.5 miles.
The 296 GTB is the first Ferrari-branded car to wear a V6, with previous editions sold under the Dino name. None had a powertrain quite like this, however. The 2.992-liter V6 features an ultrawide 120 degree angle between the cylinders where the twin turbochargers live, while an electric motor is sandwiched between it and an eight-speed dual clutch transmission. The 296 in the name represents the displacement and number of cylinders in Ferrari tradition. The total system output is listed at 818 hp and the rear-wheel-drive mid-engine coupe can accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 205 mph.More Related News
