that colour combo is shocking

Your 'range' is amazing, James. One day a £450 Peugeot 406, the next a 296 GTB!

Having just driven a £450 Peugeot 406, James drives a £400,000 Ferrari and lives them both. A true petrol head! Respect ✊

I really do not like this colour combo. 380k... you could buy a small fleet of great cars for that price. Thanks Jayemm for this great review.

Great, real world stuff here. This is why James has become one of the most trusted reviewers on KZfaq : - )

I prefer watching your £400 Peugeot video over this £400,000 Ferrari video. Modern sports cars are so far out of reach I just can’t even be arsed.

Somehow, I think owning a Ferrari is like playing Russian roulette with your private economy

It simply needs yellow mirror-caps & green brake calipers… 🎉

JayEmm....truth teller! Refreshing, we have enough promoters on here...some real old fashioned honesty

Those blue details are AWFUL

It took me almost a year to watch your videos about the 296. That's how much I'm interested in hybrids. No matter how good they are, I'm still not convinced. And the fact that you won't trade your Scuderia and F12 for it makes me believe that driving it won't change my mind.

Great video as always James. Love this model…. Absolutely hate the spec. That paint combo is just shocking. Retro doesn’t always mean good lol.

Fab pair of videos on this 👍 Regarding the spec and heritage colours - there are nowhere near enough 'verde pino' Ferraris in the world

Even for a non-Ferrari fan, your reviews are always entertaining & informative. You're definitely a trusted reviewer and informer for all things automotive. Lovely car, especially the seats! Reference to pub singers/Shooting Stars made me smile.

Did Stevie Wonder spec that paint job?🤔

Great review as per. Revolting colour combo on the Ferrari.

Great review as usual Love the car…way over priced and that colour combination is only attractive to the blind. What were they thinking????

Brilliant honest and spot on review, free from wow BS. Perfect.

While I do love the options fitted in this example, but 400k is _VERY_ steep. Here in Indonesia I've heard that the starting price is in the region of GBP500k (blame our tax, but relatively well-priced compared with Aventadors of old) but some were specced to a rather eyewatering GBP700-800k. I'd love to go with the Tailor Made options if I have unlimited budget, though. Perfect one for me would be that Baby Blue or Azzurro La Plata for the exterior with Charcoal/Baby Blue interior, silver calipers, that forged wheel in normal colour, no Assetto Fiorano and no Scuderia Shield. And no carbon options, adds nothing but an extra wince on your face every time you drive over a speedbump or when you load your luggage for the fear of scratching those carbon splitters or boot cover. Also, funny remarks on the noise. Does sound somewhat like RB26DETT or 2JZ-GTE. Not a bad thing, mind. The GT3 ones sound like... well, any other turbo 6-cylinder GT3 racecar you could care to mention. And that Dell laptop fan noise gave me bad memories from my university days...

Thx for this 296 review i was waiting for a long time. (excited to see the last one). This car is just fantastic, the whole package is so good. The electric futur should be that for me. Of course now, based of near 100% reviewers, would be so intelligent to propose a replacement for the steering wheel and/or tactil buttons.. (why Ferrari are not thinking to propose that ? the wheel is already better on the SF90XX). I am quite sure a lot of owners would pay for an upgrade...

V6 Hybrid Ferrari, this is what dreams are made of. *SAID* *NO* *ONE* *EVER*

Stunning car James. Re haptic controls, on a much lesser car its what stopped me upgrading my Golf GT mk 7 to a mk8.

The most beautiful Ferrari since the 458 Italia! Though the rear still has to grow on me

True to the word. Well done on this review, you are right, Ferrari does need to lift their game in some respects. The fact that you are saying it is excellent given the potential repercussions for your channel. Ferrari can't provide power to the people anymore, they are exclusive, help us have fun, ditch the fat guy lol, no pun intended lol.

I never thought a v6 car would be my dream car it sounds incredible

Ferrari to dealer profit is 32% dealer profit is 12-15% when you drive it out of the dealer it is worth 33% less .

Great comments regarding kids. I used to have cars to race around in, but nowadays the fun / laughs / smiles my old Ferrari brings everywhere we go is half the fun. I’ve always felt like Ferraris are slightly silly - if you’ve gone out in one you’re likely up to some shenanigans

I would appreciate a review of the Artura if/when you can get hold of one.

Ferrari used to be about passion and driving experience, so we were more forgiving with the bad infotainment and reliability trouble. The fact that Ferrari are more about a luxury brand experience now, the poor user experience is just a deal breaker.

Totally agree, Ferrari are I believe cutting off their noses to spite their faces, as customers will loose all the value of their ridiculous extras after a year and a lot will suffer a £100,000 loss and so their customers will be reluctant to keep taking losses like that 😢

Amazing Review. Really enjoyed all the 3 videos of this Ferrari. Please keep up the good work.❤ Keith from Malta

I had no trouble with the haptic controls in the Roma! And I really like the 60s retro look of the 296! But the very best Ferrari is the one you own!

Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Although it's very pretty, quick, capable and probably amazing to drive; it's not really doing it for me. I guess I'm an old fashioned person and I like old fashioned cars. Especially with a Ferrari, I want actual gauges with white on black markings. I want switches that click. I think I want an actual gear lever and clutch pedal. At last the cars like that still exist, even if it's getting difficult to buy them new. Not that Ferrari is going to lose any sleep, I couldn't afford a 296 even at base price and never mind the options.

Paying *more* not to be able to have a front lift? That is completely insane. I don’t know how a front lift is even an option, cars without them are extremely hard to sell and drive.

That’s a great comparison with the RB 🙌🏻

I think i'd rather take your advice and wait for the Porsche market to cool. Just recently some 992 GT3's have reduced by $10k - $20k AUD 😊

I’m a simple man, I see a new 33 minute Jayemm Ferrari video and I drop everything to watch it

🤑 Rich man's toys. Depreciation on these vehicles is absolutely massive !. A fool and his money 💵 are soon parted ...

It really is a baby V12, Ferrari really have nailed the sound of this car and it certainly sounds better than the SF90...

luxury cars should have physical dials and analogue speedomotor and RPM gauge. As manufactuers start slapping ipads everywhere, physical buttons and analogue dials could be something that differenciates the luxury car, along with the soundtrack the engine provides.

They’re going to make the 296 Challenge with IC engine only. That tells you how much they believe in the hybrid powertrain to improve performance

That Hospital Sticking Plaster on Open Wound colour scheme is a thing to behold!

I think it sounds like my brothers Alfa GTV6 back in 1984, which would be a good thing

Well, if you're asking for a colour recommendation you know there's only one thing I can say to you: That blue from your favorite Ferrari, the F355. That blue, yes. And then with gold brake calipers and light brown interior.

I can see why the 458 has such a high demand.

who would have thought that mixing red & blue made brown.

It looked really good in that dark green you showed us in the configurator....

Great video as always,I'm sure it's a lovely car,but not enough for me to be distracted away from the 2024 Lexus LC500,I know it's like comparing apples with oranges,but as another subscriber has pointed out having a Ferrari is like playing Russian Roulette with your finances......But I realise some buy with their hearts and some with their heads.

As an owner (non-AF) I enjoyed your review, couple of things - my GT3 RS sounds better, in fact a lot better. And I agree the pricing on the options is obnoxious, the reality is buyers are not worried about that. Lastly, its a great car, epic and pliant at the same time a very difficult trick to achieve.

380k and interior creaks? I'd be upset with creaks in a dacia, in a new ferrari, I would ask for my money back

New camera? Or the new PC? Or I’m just paying attention to the quality?? Lol. Great filming James

This has to be the most unfortunate Ferrari spec to ever leave the factory.... just unbelievable. I'm really sorry for the negativity, but this has to be THE SPEC to get if you want to keep it forever.

I thought it sounded a bit like your F12 but yeah R34 Skyline it is then :)

Curious how you played the music you mentioned. If you were using Spotify, I do believe that is to blame as it does it frequently in my Up! GTI. If you weren’t, then christ knows 😂

Brilliant as ever buddy!

Oh! I finally get the Piccolo V12 thing with that clip a 8:44 :o It does sound like a Ferrari V12! It has than thunderous tone to it! I find that this to the Ferrari V12 is like Audi TT RS 5 cilinder engine to a Lamborghini Gallardo V10 engine, it's the same, just with less layers 🤔

Thank you for sharing again

That color scheme. No. No. No. Left half the car in primer. Why?

Ferrari probably offer a processor upgrade for £20,000. 😂 As for Apple Car Play and Android Auto should be standard on ALL cars nowadays.

😂😂😂: the comparison with the Nissan!!! Great touch to have the Nissan drive bys.

Thanks for the review, Jay. I have to say, though, I really dislike the colour combination.

I really miss the days with the F355 was 80K and the options on that were an automatic gearbox and a convertible roof. I think this modern problem of insane prices for the cars and the options (this doesn't apply just to Ferrari though) is a problem created by the people themselves, because they've let Ferrari get away with it by agreeing to pay these stupid amounts of prices. So with the people waving outside the door with money in their hands, of course Ferrari is going to charge as much as they can.

A purple color would match this design I think.

I think the waiting list for this very expensive car is a clue as to how wealth is distributed in our society.

The throttle response gets the job done in transmitting urgency but acceleration (which does gloriously build with rpm buildup) responds in delayed molasses-like squirts. The unprecedented performance levels are 'egged on' with too much deliberation for my tastes. Satisfaction will come at incarcerating speeds. I would rather feel the tug instantly with small throttle inputs as with the MC20 and thus have more fun within legal speeds.

I do lov’im when he colour coordinates with the car….😉

What is up with the smurf coloured alloys?

Alcantara carpets?! 😂

I drive a perfectly nice estate with lots of nice gadgets including android auto and it cost less than the stripe on this car.

I like the blue & red livery.

20:22 min - I hear ya Jay, but as Enzo Ferrari would say, "when you buy a Ferrari, you pay for the engine, and we give you the rest of the car for free." 😶

Awesome review...

Im really loosing intrest in supercars recently, a new Ferrari, meh, McLaren, again meh, Porche, meh meh meh, ect. There's something missing and i just dont know what. Theres a dealership 2 minutes walk from me with new Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and other exotics i could never afford but here i was drooling over a not for sale Lotus Omega and F355. I feel theres some magic missing in modern cars. Anyone else feel the same or am i just getting old.

Spiderman car, that was brilliant!

Id love to see you give an honest review on gma t.50.

8:45 Yes 100%, this sounds like a Nissan (I'd say it sounds more like an R35). Ferrari has encountered the same problem with a V6 as Ford did trying to make a flat crank V8 that doesn't sound like a Ferrari.

This is what results from years of Operation Idiotic Carbon Fibre. For the buyer who will only option £26k suspension if he can tell everyone, Ferrari will permit literally the ugliest paint job imaginable for £14k.

Regarding the color you'd have it in, I saw a 296 the other day in a semi-flat earth-tone green. Can't say I though it wore it well.

Love your work Jay, but from your clip, the skyline sounds nothing like the Ferrari, bottom end growl is more on the Ferrari.

Ferrari needs to sort the issues JayEmm highlighted - and quickly!

According to Ferrari, the 296 is half a second faster than the 488 Pista around Fiorano.

And this is why every worker at Ferrari from the cleaning lady up to the top will get a 15 K Euro bonus for Christmas this year...

I think Shmee did well getting his in Dino Rosso.

It's nice to see that Ferrari has a paint job that matches your shirt...

this is probably the car that got the least hate (if it even got any) for downsizing the cylinder number. crazy how their suv has double the cylinders of this,

If it’s in a different league as you say, and a 2 year wait list, then the price isn’t an issue. If the dealer had 5 sat in stock, then there’s a problem. Cheers James, keep well. It’s not for me btw ha ha ha

Msybe there should be a new Ferrari model. Spiderrari

perfect rewiew

Love your videos! Hate the blue and red on the 296 regardless of the history. A matte black with a red strip on the hood would be better. The blue seats makes me want to throw up......then again we all have different taste when it comes to our 400K cars.

They should have a 'selector' that is the same as a gated shift! Why not? Have all the selection on an H shift!

shirt matches the car

We're riding with ya.

For me it sounds closer to a Nissan 370Z (not modified) than the RB engines!

It's unreal, raindrops persistently sticking to the bonnet, but a real good review by James. In the whole picture, there is a tiny bit missing: the freedom to use its astronomical potential as a road car. Never mind the mildly moist conditions. Correlation? does it have any potential in long term storing value, as an investment?, I mean. Who is going to service it in 40 years time? Another dream car with a multi level potential to turn into a nightmare absolutely certainly? It's for one in a million, so who cares? another useless comparison: Beluga Caviar by weight is 25 times more expensive and you cannot eat a whole car neither that much Caviar. Moderation most certainly would give us more quality and pleasure. Economy does the trick.

Lovely car shocking colour spec though!!!!!

Buy a Corvette C8 Z06, slap twin turbos on it and call it a day! 10x more reliable also. Or wait for the ZR1 or Zora. You're welcome! 😉

That was a nice Ford P100

I got mine in Blu Pozzi without AF pack, Blu Medio bucket seats with some yellow inserts. The exterior in my mind looks hideous so better hide it with a dark colour.
