what's the difference between the ferrari 296 gts and gtb?

Question

Accepted Answer

The main difference between the **Ferrari 296 GTB** and **296 GTS** is the body style—the **GTB** is a coupe, while the **GTS** is a folding hard-top convertible (semi-convertible/Targa).

Both share the same plug-in hybrid powertrain: a **3.0L twin-turbo V6** paired with dual electric motors, delivering a combined **819hp** and a top speed of **205mph**. They both feature the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and offer the optional **Assetto Fiorano** track-focused package.

From a market perspective on Classic.com, the **GTS commands a premium**:
- **296 GTB**: Average ~$343K (range $251K–$500K)
- **296 GTS**: Average ~$381K (range $322K–$420K)

There are currently more GTBs available (73 for sale) than GTS models (55 for sale), though both are fairly scarce.

So it really comes down to whether you prefer the closed-roof coupe experience or the open-air convertible thrill—mechanically, they're identical!
