Ferrari 296

The Ferrari 296 marked a genuine turning point for Maranello: the first series-production Ferrari road car with a V6 at its heart, and the first plug-in hybrid to wear the mid-engine berlinetta silhouette.

Model profile

Model history and generations

Model history: years and generations

The 296 GTB coupe was revealed in 2021 and joined a year later by the open 296 GTS, which uses a retractable hardtop that stows in roughly fourteen seconds. There is only one generation to date, positioned below the flagship SF90 in the range and effectively succeeding the V8-powered F8 as the compact mid-engine Ferrari.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

Engines, transmissions and drive

At the centre sits the F163 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 with a 120-degree bank angle and the turbochargers mounted inside the vee.

Equipment lines and body styles

The line-up is deliberately simple: GTB fixed-roof coupe and GTS folding-hardtop spider, each configurable with the Assetto Fiorano hardware and Ferrari's extensive personalisation catalogue. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard, and many US cars carry carbon wheels, front-axle lift, forged options and bespoke interior trim.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

The US used market

As a recent model, used 296 supply is concentrated in the 2022 model year onward, and cars generally show low mileage with comprehensive Ferrari service and warranty documentation. Well-kept, garage-stored examples with front-lift and desirable colours are the norm rather than the exception.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Common issues buyers should know

The technical assessment depends on model year, powertrain, software status, maintenance history, recalls and the condition of the specific vehicle. USCar Trader can review these points within the agreed vehicle-inspection scope.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

Differences from the European version

US-market 296s are left-hand drive and share the core specification with European cars, but carry US lighting (amber markers, US beam pattern), US-spec instruments and market-specific emissions and charging homologation.

Modifications and single-vehicle approval

Approval work is usually modest for a car this modern: European lighting compliance including a rear fog lamp, correct headlight beam, and side-marker handling, plus documentation of the instruments.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Can I import a used Ferrari 296 from the USA to Germany?

Yes. As an independent broker we source used 296 GTB and GTS cars in the US market and handle shipping, clearance and registration.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

How is import VAT treated when importing a Ferrari 296?

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.

What should I check on a used 296?

Complete Ferrari service history, warranty status, a clean accident record, and the health of the plug-in hybrid battery and high-voltage system.

How is the 296 different from the SF90?

The 296 uses a twin-turbo V6 hybrid and is rear-wheel drive, while the SF90 is a V8 all-wheel-drive hybrid with higher output.

Do I need special charging equipment?

The US charger uses the American connector standard, so plan for a compatible home-charging solution for German supply.

Is the 296 reliable?

It is a recent model with limited long-term data; a documented Ferrari service history and warranty coverage are the best safeguards.

Can you find an Assetto Fiorano car?

Yes. We can search specifically for 296s fitted with the Assetto Fiorano package and other desirable options.
