BLISTERING PACE! First Nurburgring Laps in My Ferrari 296 GTS

It's go, go, go at the Nürburgring with my new Ferrari 296 GTS! For the first time, I'm at the Green Hell with the hybrid V6 supercar from Maranello, a car that I recently bought and has been in need of the legs stretching. Well, now is exactly the time to do it, come with my for the first laps!

Every Shmeemobile comes to the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife to be officially welcomed into the collection, so of course the 296 GTS was going to follow in the steps of the SF90 Stradale, and even my GTC4Lussos and FF before. However, you could argue it's not the right car for the purpose given it's a convertible (with higher weight) and not the Assetto Fiorano (with track suspension), but with 830hp there's plenty of power to have some fun.

The track is busy, but that isn't going to stop the fun even during a first sighting lap and then a second one to really up the pace and get some of the excitement that this car has to offer.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Ferrari definitely knows how to make a V6 sound amazing
In general Italian V6 Engines all sound great
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

I love how you were smiling about 99% of the whole video and 100% of the time u were driving

[the_mcmartin]

Honestly the 296 sounds superb when driven in anger. For a V6, very very nice.

[deltasigma]

I think the 296 is the only truly amazing modern Ferrari. Don't get me wrong I know the SF90 and the Purosangue are cool but I think the 296 is just so well done and so chimed in. It holds its own much better than its modern siblings.

[narainmanickam]

This spec is one of the better ones I’ve seen because it’s not too much, but it works so well. This and the Triple F collections 296 are just stunning!

[PulsePersonalTraining]

The second lap was much better both in commentary and driving quality because you were more race-focused. That "talking through your actions" was great.

[HJW]

I'm loving the switch up from the cold openings to the warm openings of the video. Subtle change but it does give the videos a fresh feeling.

[migselv]

I drove the 296 GTB yesterday, and the power this thing has is absolutely mindblowing. I understand Tim’s reaction 100% 😂

[teamvigod]

I test drove the 296 in Scottsdale recently. Fastest car I’ve been in. Just keeps pulling hard even to 140mph++. Recalibrated my sense of speed.

[MatthewCornish]

Love seeing how your laps have gotten faster and more confident. Thanks for sharing as always.

[Kukisan]

Been watching your uploads for many a year Tim. Your enthusiasm, your quality uploads are a pleasure to watch, but more importantly is your humbleness. Thankyou 🙏

[DiscoR]

That last lap you were in the zone, you had extra presence of mind when to back off. Spectacular indeed.

[Shxroyuki]

I’m so excited to see the spec of the SF90 XX, but I’m pretty sure my favorite Ferrari spec of yours has to be this 296

[garybowen]

Your confidence driving this track is inspiring, vastly improved, loving it!!!

[lloydbellis]

That car is epic.
The speed it holds as a road spec and not racing spec.
It was a smily day for Shmee.
Thank you
😎😎😎👍👍👍

"It's always exciting when you take a new Ferrari for its first laps" -- so relatable 😄

[markopolo]

Love the whooshing and turbo flutters coming from the engine with the back window open, sounds great.

[Grasshopper]

Very impressed with how smooth you were on all controls !
With that kind of input, speed will follow and you will become a very competitive driver !
Good job !

[ChrisRuzin]

Love this car! Love the sounds it makes, the speed it carries, and the smiles it generates. Also loved the sound of that NSX!

[JT-nkgv]

forgot how much power this has being the entry level Ferrari what a machine!
