Rent a Ferrari 296 GTB in France

The 296 GTB sits apart from the rest of Ferrari's line-up for a simple reason: it pairs a V6 with electric assistance to produce 830 hp, and the result changes how the car behaves rather than just how fast it goes. Low-end response is instant, the mid-range builds with a different urgency than a naturally aspirated V8, and the car settles into a rhythm on faster roads that rewards a driver willing to let the throttle do the talking. This is not a car chosen for badge recognition. It's chosen by drivers who know what a dual-clutch box and a well-tuned chassis feel like at speed and want that specific sensation for a day, a weekend, or longer. This 2023 model is the only 296 GTB configuration available through us at the moment, which keeps the booking process straightforward: one car, one specification, no back-and-forth over trim levels. Rates start at €1700 per day, reflecting both the car's performance tier and its limited availability within the fleet. Given the two-seat layout, it suits solo drivers or couples more naturally than groups — this is a car built around the person behind the wheel, not cabin space. Handover is arranged around the city where the booking is made, so the practical side of picking up a car like this — paperwork, a walk-through of the controls, confirmation of deposit terms — happens without friction before the drive starts. Given the car's power delivery and its low-slung stance, we'd point drivers toward open, well-surfaced roads rather than tight urban circuits, where the 296 GTB's balance and acceleration can actually register. Anyone who has driven a modern Ferrari GT before will recognize the difference immediately; anyone who hasn't will understand why this model gets talked about, well before they book the return leg.
