BMW Z4 Vs Ferrari 296 GTS FAQs

The BMW Z4 M40i starts at around ₹87.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

This is a car for the driver who wants attention, style, and performance—someone who doesn’t need four seats, wants the wind in their hair, and doesn’t mind paying more for smiles per kilometre. Entrepreneurs, professionals, or luxury-car lovers who treat their car like an experience, not just transport.

Length: 4.324 meters (≈ 14.18 ft), Width: 1.864 meters (≈ 6.11 ft), Height: 1.304 meters (≈ 4.28 ft), Ground Clearance: ~ 114 mm, Boot space: 281 litres. Seats: 2. So no space for “uncle + aunty + kids” plus luggage; more for “me, my mate, and weekend bags.”

1. Engine: 3.0-litre inline-six petrol, turbocharged, producing about 340 hp and 500 Nm torque. 2. Drive: Rear-wheel drive (RWD) 3. Transmission: 8-speed automatic (torque converter) in most variants. Some variants with manual control / paddle shifts.

ARAI-claimed mileage: ≈ 12.8 kmpl for the petrol Z4 M40i. Cost per km considering Petrol at INR 102: ₹7.97/km

The Ferrari 296 GTS is priced at around ₹6.24 crore ex-showroom, India. With Ferrari, price is not the hook, it is the exclusivity. Buyers are not just purchasing a car, they are buying entry into a very limited circle.

Top speed is well over 330 km/h, and the 0–100 km/h dash takes just 2.9 seconds. Numbers aside, what excites enthusiasts is how the hybrid system adds torque instantly, eliminating turbo lag. This is a Ferrari that uses electric motors not to save fuel, but to make the car even angrier.

On paper, it returns about 15.6 km/l, thanks to the hybrid system. In reality, Ferrari buyers ask this question only to laugh at it later. But here is the twist: it can actually drive silently in pure electric mode for about 25 km, which means sneaking back home without waking the neighbours is now possible.

The GTS comes with that retractable hardtop and a reworked rear deck to accommodate it. The loss of a fixed roof does not compromise stiffness, thanks to Ferrari’s monocoque construction. The appeal is simple: GTB for the purists, GTS for the extroverts.

It combines a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 with a 167 hp electric motor. Together, they make 830 hp and 740 Nm of torque. It is the first Ferrari road car in decades to have a V6, but the hybrid system ensures it punches harder than old V12s.

It sits low at around 120 mm, but Ferrari equips it with a front-lift system. That means speed breakers in India are not instant heartbreaks.

It signals Ferrari’s new era. Enthusiasts once feared hybrids would mute the brand, but the 296 GTS proves the opposite. It is sharper, louder, and faster. More importantly, it lets you experience Ferrari noise without a roof muffling it.
