The Italian supercar manufacturer announced a new 296 GTB hybrid sports car that takes Italian performance in a new direction.

According to Autoblog.com, "Of course, the highlight of this car is the powertrain, a Ferrari first, and it actually gives the car its name, with the 29 standing for the displacement and the 6 for the number of cylinders. It's not quite accurate, though, since the displacement rounds up to 3.0 liters. The engine is a super wide 120 degrees, and nestled in the "V" are the turbochargers. Between the engine and the transmission is the electric motor. The V6 on its own makes 654 horsepower, and the electric motor makes 165 horsepower. Total output is 819 horsepower with 546 pound-feet of torque. The engine can also rev to 8,500 rpm.

Performance is commendable - 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in 7.3 seconds. Top speed is 205 mph. And even if the gas tank is empty, this supercar "can drive 15.5 miles entirely on electricity."

Don't expect Prius pricing on this performance machine. At a price of around $300,000, they won't come cheap when the factory starts churning them out in 2022.
