Ferrari 296 GTB

Sharp, even at an easy pace

The Ferrari 296 GTB feels immediate in the way a mid-engined Ferrari should. The steering is direct, the seating position is low, and the automatic transmission lets you find a steady rhythm on Sheikh Zayed Road without making every journey an event. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain does not change the fact that this is a serious performance coupe.

In Downtown traffic, a measured approach feels right. Take speed bumps and steep parking ramps gently, and allow a little extra time in crowded hotel car parks. The low driving position is part of the appeal on an open road, but it asks for more attention in tight spaces.

A drive worth planning

This car suits a birthday drive, a couple visiting Dubai or a photo shoot that calls for a modern Ferrari coupe. Jumeirah Beach Road makes for a relaxed route, while the roads towards Al Qudra offer more space to appreciate how composed it feels, always within local speed limits.

With two seats, it makes more sense as a planned outing than an airport run with bulky cases. Pack lightly, choose a route you will enjoy, and leave time to take the longer way back.
