Ferrari 296 GTS
ChooseMyCar says the 296 GTS is Ferrari's first V6 hybrid supercar, combining a twin-turbo V6 engine with electric assistance for 830 horsepower. Top Gear says the 296 GTS is the first road-going Ferrari Spider to use a six-cylinder engine, and that Ferrari claims the 296 GTS is 50 percent stiffer than the F8 Tributo Spider thanks to strengthened joints at the sills and A- and B-pillars, continuing the ingeniously packaged retractable aluminum roof Ferrari has used on open cars since the 2011 458 Italia Spider. Amazing Cars and Drives says the 296 GTS silences doubters with 830 PS, a retractable hardtop that vanishes in 14 seconds, and acceleration that blurs your vision, while maintaining the GTB's clean, purposeful shape with minimal styling concessions for the convertible format.
