296 (2022 to Present)

The Ferrari 296 series (2022–present), including the GTB and GTS, is the high-voltage spearhead of Maranello’s mid-engine lineup in the 2026 Australian market, featuring a 610kW (818hp) twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain. In Australia, current list prices for a new 296 start at $568,300 for the GTB and $668,146 for the open-top GTS, though highly specified "Ferrari Approved" pre-owned examples frequently trade between $600,000 and $850,000 due to the immediate availability premium. The desirability of the 296 has seen a significant "snap-back" in 2026 as collectors realise it is a mechanical benchmark—delivering V12-rivalling performance and the celebrated "piccolo V12" soundtrack—while offering 25km of silent electric range for inner-city Sydney or Melbourne driving. The buyer pool is a tech-savvy cohort of early adopters and track-day enthusiasts who specifically hunt for the Assetto Fiorano package to gain a competitive edge in the local Passione Ferrari series, though Australian buyers remain meticulous about ensuring cars have the latest 2026 software updates for the complex hybrid-drive systems. With 2026 likely marking the final chapters of the standard production run before the 296 Speciale takes the spotlight, Australian-delivered units with a clear service history and high-option "tailor-made" interiors are currently viewed as the most liquid and secure assets in the hybrid supercar segment.
