Rent the Ferrari 296 GTS Spider 2024 in Lisbon

The Ferrari 296 GTS Spider pairs a plug-in hybrid V6 with 819 hp, a combination that gives it sharper, more immediate throttle response than older naturally aspirated V8 Ferraris while still delivering the open-top theatre a Spider is built for. With two seats and a retractable hard top, it is built for a driver and a passenger who want the car itself to be the reason for the trip, not just the way of getting somewhere. Low-speed manoeuvring around Lisbon's older streets asks for attention given the car's width and ride height, but on open tarmac the chassis balance and the roof-down soundtrack are what this car is actually for.

This is a car suited to clear-morning coastal driving, where the road opens up and the roof can come down without hesitation — the kind of run toward Cascais and Estoril along the A5 that rewards a car this responsive. It is not the natural choice for cramming a week of errands or family logistics into one itinerary; it fits a single standout drive, a photograph-worthy arrival at a hotel on Avenida da Liberdade, or an afternoon booked purely around the car. Drivers who want outright presence and a hybrid V6 that still sounds and pulls like a Ferrari should look here before the V8 spiders in the fleet.

At €1900 per day with a €15,000 security deposit, this rental sits at the upper end of the range and is booked by clients who already know they want a 296 GTS specifically, not just a fast convertible. Handover can be arranged to hotels on Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon Airport, or a private residence, with the car delivered in its standard specification and no added equipment beyond what is listed. Anyone planning a coastal run or a single dedicated day with the car should confirm timing and toll setup for the A2 or A5 ahead of collection, since Lisbon's older districts and Sintra's narrow lanes are better suited to a smaller car if the 296 GTS is not the day's main purpose.
