Ferrari 296 GTB
Why 5.3: 654 turbo horsepower plus 122 electric, more than an F8 makes on gas alone, wrapped around a battery pack and brake-by-wire hardware that blunt exactly the feedback the badge promises. Ferrari's first series-production hybrid, and the template for every V8 replacement still to come.

The long version
Ferrari built genuinely quick hardware here, launch numbers that embarrass the F8 it effectively replaces, but the V6-plus-battery formula asks buyers to trust a powertrain architecture with none of the marque's V8 or V12 heritage behind it. Early resale has tracked close to sticker on raw demand alone, with no settled verdict yet on whether hybrid Ferraris hold value the way naturally aspirated ones eventually did. The battery pack's story after a decade of charge cycles, and its eventual replacement cost, are still unwritten, and that uncertainty already shapes how these get bought and sold as much as anything under the rear glass.
