Cornes Turf Dealer Roadshow
The other dayI ran Hakone Turnpike with Ferrari 296GTBA few days later, I visited Mr. Cornes Shiba, a Ferrari dealer.
The first thing that greeted us was the 296GTB Asset Fiorano Package.
No matter how many times you look at it, it's still cool.
However, the main event of the day was this particular car that was enshrined in the back of the 296GTB.
hmm what? what?
what model is it? (Please ignore the blog title and the model name written on the wall behind this photo (laughs))
First of all, Mr. Yuya Sakamoto, a professional racing driver, explained this car in front of this model before it was unveiled.
I've been seeing Sakamoto-san a lot lately, so I was so happy when he appeared on this day that I even waved my hands. I'm sorry (laughs).
As you can see, this car is the Ferrari model that I met for the first time on this day, "Ferrari 296 GTS" which is an open car version of 296 GTB.
After a detailed explanation by Mr. Sakamoto, a promotional video for the 296GTS was played...
It's finally Enver!
Oooh. splendid!
The 296GTB was also super cool, but what's more, it's open.
I like the look of this front.
This sharp coolness sticks out! !
This part (the part made of carbon) called the “tea tray” is installed on the sharp front.↓
It is said that this shape generates aerodynamic vortex and creates downforce.
It's called a tea tray, so I'm starting to feel like I have to try tea here someday (no).
Let me put you in the driver's seat.
Yeah, it's basically the same as the 296GTB.
However, there is a switch for opening and closing the roof in this part between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, so it is different from the 296GTB.
It looks like this when you open the armrest part ↓
In addition, it seemed that just by placing a smartphone on the place beyond the cup holder at the end of the armrest, it would be charged.
However, when I put my smartphone on it, it didn't fit in, so it wasn't charged (laughs).
When I circled it in yellow, you can see that the bottom part of the smartphone is floating and it doesn't fit in.↓
My phone is android galaxy series. This feature may only work on smaller smartphones.
Looking at the back seat direction from the driver's seat, it looks like this ↓
Of course, there is no rear seat, but there is a space where you can put a little luggage. Practicality changes greatly depending on whether there is such a space.
Next, I'm going to go around to the passenger side.
Get in.
Of course, the logo in front of the passenger seat is also 296GTS instead of 296GTB.
The view from the side mirror is this intake.
Although the shape is different, somehowThe view from the F8 side mirrorI remembered
When opening the door from inside the car, press this button as in Rome etc. ↓
This is convenient because it doesn't require any force when it's working properly, but if an error occurs where this button doesn't work, I'm a little worried that I won't be able to open the door.
Is it because old people feel relieved to have a physical door handle?
The scenery when turning around from the passenger seat is like this.
It may be hard to see in the photo, but there is a glass window deflector that can be adjusted in height.
The 296GTB seen from behind is too sexy.
This makes it look very wide, but the actual width is 1,958 mm.
I forgot to look at the engine room properly, so this is the only picture I have... ahhh.
Anyway, just looking at the 296GTS is so beautiful that I'm full.
What's even more amazing is that the other day I was able to ride this closed version of the 296 GTB, so I've already experienced how good the sound is and how "Fun to drive" it is, and this time it's even more there. With the addition of this open Ferrari, which is an intensely beautiful form, there are no words.
When I saw Rome for the first time, I felt like I had completely lost my love for it.It was so cool that it moved me as much as I did.
It's a model that you can't imagine that ordinary people can use all the performance of this 296 GTB / GTS, but this open car 296 GTS says, "I don't have to speed anymore, so I'm happy just by riding. I thought that it was a model that made me think ^^
Finally, this is not the time of running, but it will be the engine sound.
Mr. Shiba Cornes, thank you very much for allowing me to meet such a wonderful Ferrari 296 GTS!
