{"key":"ferrari-296-gts-miami","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"The 296 GTS is the Ferrari that proved the V6 could be the headline. Hybrid power, an open roof and a blue stripe over red paint make it one of the easiest cars on the Miami strip to recognise from a block away. It is built for two people and one plan: a slow cruise down Ocean Drive, then a faster run once the causeway opens up."},{"section":"setting","heading":"Miami in a 296","body":"Miami is a roof-down city for most of the year. The MacArthur Causeway out to South Beach, the run up A1A through Sunny Isles and Bal Harbour, and the late drive back across Biscayne Bay all suit a car that is quiet when you want it and loud when you ask. Dinner in Brickell, a morning in Wynwood, sunset on Key Biscayne: the 296 sits comfortably at every one."},{"section":"interiors","heading":"The Car","body":"A plug-in hybrid drivetrain, a V6 with an electric motor, delivers 819 horsepower. The GTS is the open-top version, with a folding roof, and this example carries the Assetto Fiorano livery, a blue stripe over red that marks it out from any standard 296. Two seats, nothing else competing for the cabin.","bullets":["Exterior: Red with a blue Assetto Fiorano stripe","Powertrain: Plug-in hybrid V6 plus an electric motor","System power: 819 hp (830 PS)","Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive, dual-clutch transmission","0-60 mph: About 2.9 seconds","Top speed: Over 205 mph","Roof: Retractable hardtop","Seats: 2"]},{"section":"experience","heading":"Behind the Wheel","body":"The electric motor fills in the throttle the instant you ask, so the 296 feels immediate at city speeds and ferocious on an open stretch. With the roof down you hear the V6 properly, which is the point of choosing the GTS over the coupe. It is a car that rewards a confident driver and flatters a nervous one."},{"section":"logistics","heading":"Rates and Handoff","body":"The 296 GTS starts from $2,195 per day. Weekends, holidays and event weeks can move the final number, so send your dates and we confirm the all-in daily rate. A security deposit is authorised on your card at handoff and released once the car is checked back in, and the amount is confirmed with your quote."},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Couples who want an open-top Ferrari for a Miami weekend","Birthday and anniversary drives","Content shoots on the causeways and Ocean Drive","Guests who would rather drive than be driven"]}]}
