Ferrari 296 GTB Rental in Orange County
This white Ferrari 296 GTB with a red interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Orange County, the newest shape on our Ferrari row and the only hybrid we run with six cylinders rather than eight or twelve. It can leave a quiet street in complete silence before 819 horsepower arrives, booked by a renter who wants the newest Ferrari and the quietest exit.
How It Drives
The 296 is a genuine change of direction for Ferrari. A 3.0 liter twin turbo V6 works with an electric motor to make 819 horsepower combined, more than any V8 car we run, and the electric side fills in everything below the turbos so completely that there is no lag anywhere in the rev range. It will also run on electricity alone for short distances, so you can leave a Newport side street in silence and have 819 horsepower two seconds later. Sixty comes in 2.9 seconds. Take it onto Santiago Canyon Road once the battery has done its quiet work, and the response, not the number, is what stays with you.
How It Photographs
White over red is the cleanest way to show the 296's bodywork, which is shorter and rounder than the angular Ferraris around it and deliberately references the older mid engine cars. The shape has fewer hard creases, so a light body is what makes the surfacing visible, and direct Orange County sun works in this car's favour rather than against it. The red cabin against white is a strong doors open frame outside South Coast Plaza or Pelican Hill, and the contrast carries the shot without much setup. Get low at the rear to catch the single central exhaust exit, unique to this car in our fleet.
Why This One
This is the only hybrid Ferrari we run with six cylinders rather than eight or twelve, and it is the newest shape in our fleet. What that buys you is a throttle with no lag anywhere and a short stretch of silent running that none of our other Ferraris can do as completely, plus a real front trunk the F8s and SF90 cannot match. Book it when you want the Ferrari that does not feel like the last generation of them, or when a quiet early departure from a residential Orange County street actually matters to your plans. Everything else on our Ferrari row is louder from the first second.
What's On This One
This is the 296 GTB in white over a red interior, the mid engined V6 plug in hybrid Ferrari. Underneath, a 3.0 liter twin turbo V6 working with an electric motor for 819 horsepower combined, rear wheel drive through an 8 speed dual clutch gearbox. It carries a generous front trunk, uncommon on a Ferrari this quick, a single central exhaust exit, and standard carbon ceramic brakes with adaptive dampers and a bumpy road setting for rougher Orange County pavement. The cabin uses a curved digital display and touch controls on the wheel rather than physical buttons, and a short handover briefing on that is worth the two minutes it takes.
