The 296 GTS Spider trades the closed coupé's tension for something more immediate: a retractable hard top that drops in seconds and a V6 hybrid drivetrain tuned to make every gear change felt through the seat, not just heard. This is a car that rewards roads with real elevation and camber change, where the front end stays planted through a tightening bend and the electric torque fills in before the turbo has fully spooled. On the open stretches of southern Germany's mountain routes, or along flatter coastal-adjacent roads further north, the 296 GTS shifts character noticeably with the roof down, wind noise low enough at speed to hold a conversation, engine note louder and more present than in the coupé.
We run two 296 GTS Spider variants across the 2024 and 2025 model years, both kept mechanically current and cosmetically tight rather than held for display. Differences between them are largely in trim and colourway rather than performance, so the choice comes down to preference on the day. Rates start at €1,900 per day, reflecting the car's position as one of the more track-capable convertibles in a fleet built around genuine performance rather than badge alone.
Handover is arranged directly with the renter, whether that means collecting the car from our base or having it delivered to a hotel, private residence or airport within Germany — a detail worth confirming at the time of booking rather than assuming. The Spider suits drivers who want the hybrid V6's responsiveness without giving up open-air feedback on a good road, and equally suits a single standout day: an anniversary drive, a client visit that calls for something sharper than a saloon, or simply a weekend where the weather and the road both cooperate. Insurance terms, mileage allowance and deposit details are set out at booking, so there's clarity before the key changes hands.
