The Ferrari 296 GTS takes the 296 GTB's hybrid V6 powertrain and adds a retractable hardtop, opening in just 14 seconds, without touching the combined 830CV output or the mid-engine balance that defines the coupe. It is proof that Ferrari's spider variants are no longer treated as a lesser version of the coupe, but as a genuinely complete second interpretation of the same car. As part of our Ferrari Rent fleet, the 296 GTS is available for daily, weekend, and weekly rental with free delivery across Dubai — Ferrari's hybrid V6 experience, roof down, delivered to your door.
Where many convertible supercars place the engine behind the passenger compartment and route the retractable roof mechanism awkwardly around it, the 296 GTS benefits from Ferrari's compact V6 architecture, which leaves enough packaging space for a clean, well-integrated retractable hardtop without the compromises that plague larger V8 and V12-based spiders. The result is a convertible that loses almost nothing to the coupe in either performance or structural rigidity.
In Dubai, the 296 GTS occupies a genuinely appealing niche — the same cutting-edge hybrid technology as the 296 GTB, with the added dimension of open-air driving in a climate built for exactly that. It is the car in our fleet most guests choose when they want the newest generation of Ferrari engineering experienced with the roof folded away.
The 296 GTS is powered by the same 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 663CV on its own, paired with a 167CV electric motor for a combined system output of 830CV and 740 Nm of torque. The retractable hardtop adds only a modest weight penalty over the coupe, meaning the GTS retains nearly identical acceleration and throttle response to the 296 GTB despite the added structure required for an open-top design.
Zero to 100 km/h arrives in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 330 km/h — figures that remain virtually unchanged from the fixed-roof GTB. Power is sent through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission to the rear wheels, with the same eDrive electric-only mode available for quiet, low-speed running. Among our Ferrari Rentals Dubai fleet, the 296 GTS proves that removing the roof no longer means removing performance.
The 296 GTS shares its cabin architecture with the GTB, built around a fully digital instrument cluster with haptic touch controls on the steering wheel and a curved central touchscreen. A glass rear window, positioned behind the roll bar, doubles as a wind deflector and allows occupants to hear the V6's exhaust note more clearly with the roof folded away — a deliberate acoustic detail Ferrari engineered specifically for the GTS variant.
Despite the added complexity of a retractable roof, the 296 GTS retains the same front luggage compartment as the coupe, and the eDrive electric mode makes quiet, low-speed arrivals at hotels and residential compounds just as usable with the roof down as with it up.

The 296 GTS's closest rival is the McLaren Artura Spider, which similarly pairs a twin-turbocharged V6 with electric assistance in an open-top, mid-engine layout. The 296 GTS's advantage lies in its combined output — 830CV against the Artura Spider's lower figure — along with a faster roof mechanism and Ferrari's more developed hybrid integration. For guests who want the latest generation of Ferrari's hybrid engineering with the roof folded away, the 296 GTS remains a standout choice in Dubai's rental market.
