Ferrari 296 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB is one of the most technically ambitious sports cars available in Saudi Arabia — a plug-in hybrid mid-engined two-seater that combines a 3.0 L turbocharged engine with an electric motor to produce a combined 819 bhp. It represents Ferrari's clearest statement yet that electrification can sharpen rather than dilute the driving experience. Prices in Saudi Arabia start from SAR 1,550,000.

The range opens with the 296 GTB (Berlinetta Coupe) and extends to the Assetto Fiorano Package at SAR 1,800,000. The Assetto Fiorano Package is the performance-focused upgrade, adding Multimatic shock absorbers derived directly from Ferrari's GT racing programme, a titanium exhaust for reduced weight and sharper acoustics, and lighter carbon-fibre components throughout — a meaningful step up for buyers intending track use or those seeking the most focused version of the car. Both variants use the same 8-speed dual-clutch Automatic and seat 2 in a strictly driver-focused cockpit. Fuel efficiency is competitive for its class given the electric-assist architecture, particularly in hybrid drive modes that blend both power sources seamlessly.

Pros: 819 bhp from a mid-engined hybrid platform delivers performance that surpasses many larger-engined rivals, with the electric motor providing immediate torque response. The Assetto Fiorano Package gives Saudi buyers a meaningful, track-oriented upgrade path without moving to a different model entirely. Cons: the two-seat layout and firm suspension tune — especially with the top-specification dampers — make this an uncompromising choice that will frustrate buyers wanting even occasional practicality. The PHEV battery adds weight that Ferrari's engineers have managed well, but it is a consideration for purists.

No used-market data is currently available for the 296 in Saudi Arabia, which reflects limited supply rather than weak demand. Ferrari's plug-in hybrid models have shown strong value retention across global markets, and low production volumes typically support pricing well above standard depreciation curves.

Buyers comparing the 296 GTB in Saudi Arabia also look closely at the Lamborghini Revuelto, McLaren Artura, and Mercedes-AMG SL 63. The Revuelto is the most direct rival in terms of prestige and drama; the Artura is architecturally the closest match as a PHEV supercar from a similarly focused manufacturer; the AMG SL 63 offers a more grand-touring character for buyers who want performance with comfort. Against all three, the 296 makes its case on chassis precision and the unmatched desirability of the Ferrari name.

How much does the Ferrari 296 cost in Saudi Arabia?

The steps buy a roof and then a specification, not more power — output is identical across the three at 819 bhp bhp. The 296 GTB (Berlinetta Coupe) is the entry car at SAR 1,550,000, the open-topped GTS follows, and the Assetto Fiorano Package sits at the top at SAR 1,800,000.

Which 296 is the one to buy?

The GTB if the car will be driven hard, because the fixed roof is lighter and stiffer. The GTS if it will be used on evenings and weekends, where the folding hardtop costs almost nothing in refinement. The Assetto Fiorano package is a track specification — lighter components and firmer settings — and is wasted on a car that only sees roads.

Do you need to plug it in?

Not at all. The 296 is a hybrid that manages its own battery and runs on petrol regardless, so charging is optional rather than a condition of ownership. Plugging in overnight buys a short silent range for early departures. Everything else about running it is conventional: petrol, tyres and brakes.

Ferrari 296 or SF90?

The 296 is the more delicate car and the better one on a public road — lighter, rear-driven and easier to read at the limit. The SF90 is a different proposition entirely: four-wheel drive, a V8 and far more power for far more money. The Roma is the one to take if comfort matters as much as pace.
