Rent a Ferrari 296 GTB in Lisbon

The 296 GTB pairs a V6 with electric assistance to produce 830 hp, and the difference shows immediately in how the car picks up through the mid-range — a shove that feels closer to a naturally aspirated V12 than a turbocharged six. In Lisbon this makes the car particularly suited to roads with elevation change and long sightlines: the climb out toward Arrábida, where the N379 opens into cliff-top curves, lets the hybrid system's instant torque do work that a heavier GT would need more room to deliver. It is a two-seat car, built for a driver and a passenger rather than a touring party, and that focus carries through the cabin — tight, low, everything oriented toward the road. We carry one 2023 296 GTB, available from €1700 per day, and treat it as a car for people who want to drive rather than be driven. Handover can be arranged at the airport, at a hotel on Avenida da Liberdade, or at a private residence, with our team briefing toll setup for the A2 and A5 and talking through deposit and insurance terms before the keys change hands. Given the car's power and its low ride height, we also flag where Sintra's parking fills early and where Lisbon's older streets suit a slower pace — practical notes that matter more with 830 hp underfoot than with a standard rental.
