The perfect sports car for Southern California: the Ferrari 296 GTS. This prancing horse is a hard-top convertible that is powered by a high-revving twin-turbo V6 engine & high-voltage electric motor, which together produce more than 800 horsepower. Drivers can select to drive in full electric mode or, if they wish, can elect to have both gasoline & electric motors be activated for maximum performance. In addition, kinetic energy via braking can be recovered & stored in the high-voltage battery ready to be unleashed as demanded by the acceleration pedal. This advanced performance hybrid technology in road-going sports cars is possible thanks to Ferrari's Formula 1 racing.
