The 296 marks Ferrari’s first production V6 sold under the Ferrari name rather than the historic Dino badge, and it pairs that engine with a plug-in hybrid system that pushes combined output past 800 horsepower. This represents a genuine departure from the V8 and V12 architecture that’s defined most Ferraris in our fleet.
At $2,499 per day, this 296 matches our Aventador pricing as one of the two most expensive vehicles we carry. Renters chasing Ferrari’s most technologically advanced current-production model, rather than its loudest or most visually aggressive one, book this vehicle specifically.
The Hybrid V6 Powertrain Explained
A 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 combines with a 165-horsepower electric motor to produce 819 combined horsepower, reaching 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. The V6 alone generates roughly 654 horsepower — meaning the electric motor contributes nearly a fifth of total output, a hybrid architecture unlike anything else in our fleet.
This powertrain also enables limited electric-only driving at lower speeds, a capability no other Ferrari or Lamborghini in our collection offers.

Ferrari’s Manettino System and Hybrid Drive Modes
The Manettino dial on the steering wheel controls not just traditional drive modes but also how the hybrid system manages power delivery between the combustion engine and electric motor. This adds a layer of control that purely combustion-powered Ferraris in our fleet don’t offer.
Hand-stitched leather and carbon fiber accents fill the cabin, with a digital cockpit display that reflects the 296’s position as Ferrari’s current technological flagship rather than a heritage model.
