The design of the 296 GTB with hybrid drive redefines the mid-rear-engined berlinetta and gives it a modern look. With its short wheelbase and its monolithic structure, the 296 GTB seems very compact. The typical berlinetta fastback configuration has been abandoned in favour of creating a cabin architecture that seems set in an imposing volume. This is the combined effect of the short wheelbase and elements such as the distinctive wings and new vertical rear screen.
Statement by the Jury
The 296 GTB has an impressive appearance with a reduced design that looks very modern and grown up without losing any of its sportiness.
