Ferrari 296 GTB Competitors
If horsepower can be sidelined, the McLaren Artura is a strong rival to the Ferrari 296 GTB and a possible alternative, all whilst being lighter on the pocket.
Ferrari 296 GTB – Our Verdict
The Ferrari 296 GTB is going to give McLaren some sleepless nights for sure. Right now, no one builds a better mid-engine supercar, and it’s a V6 Hybrid from the world’s most popular supercar company.
