Riyadh’s certified pre-owned market currently features two standout examples from Ferrari’s 296 range, both offered directly through the Ferrari dealer in Riyadh showroom on Northern Ring Branch Road, and both sharing the same 830 cv V6 hybrid-derived architecture while differing in body style, colour, and remaining maintenance coverage.
The 296 GTS: A Targa-Style Berlinetta With Full Documentation
The first unit is a 2023 296 GTS with just 2,573 km on the odometer, finished in Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior, priced at SAR 2,200,000. This example carries a factory maintenance package valid through 15 November 2029, meaning a new owner inherits several years of covered servicing alongside the car itself.
Technical Specifications at a Glance
| Specification | 296 GTS (2023) |
| Power output | 830 cv |
| Engine | V6, 120°, turbocharged, dry sump |
| Top speed | Over 330 km/h |
| Combined fuel consumption | 6.5 l/100 km |
| Combined CO2 emissions | 153 g/km |
| Maintenance coverage until | 15 November 2029 |
This particular unit also comes equipped with the Fiorano Package Extended, carbon fibre racing seats, a carbon fibre steering wheel with integrated LEDs, forged wheels in a gloss Brilliant Silver finish, and “Scuderia Ferrari” shields on the fenders, all of which point to a buyer who specified the car with track-inspired options rather than a base configuration.
The 296 GTB: A Fixed-Roof Alternative With F1 Transmission
The second unit is a 2024 296 GTB with 3,556 km on the odometer, finished in Verde Medio Metallizzato over a Cuoio interior, priced at SAR 1,600,000. This car carries maintenance coverage through 10 July 2031, giving it several additional years of factory-backed servicing compared to the GTS example.
Comparing the Two Units Side by Side
- Body style: The GTS offers a removable roof for open-air driving, while the GTB is a fixed-roof coupe
- Price gap: The GTS commands a SAR 600,000 premium over the GTB, reflecting both the retractable roof and its additional track-oriented options
- Maintenance runway: The GTB’s coverage extends nearly two years further, given its newer registration date
- Transmission: The GTB is explicitly listed with an F1 dual-clutch 8-speed transmission, the same gearbox architecture used across the 296 line
Where to View These Cars in Riyadh
Both vehicles are held at the Fast Auto Technic showroom on Northern Ring Branch Road, Exit 2, Al Nakhil, Riyadh, reachable at 8004400001. The showroom operates Monday through Thursday and Saturday through Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00 and again from 17:00 to 22:00, with the showroom closed on Fridays.
What Buyers Should Ask About Before Visiting
- Whether the remaining factory maintenance coverage is transferable to a new owner without additional cost
- Full documentation on any optional equipment fitted, since packages like the Fiorano Extended affect resale value
- Availability of a private viewing appointment outside standard showroom hours if needed
Why the 830 CV Figure Matters for Both Cars
It is worth noting that despite their different body styles and price points, both the GTS and GTB share an identical 830 cv power output from their turbocharged V6 architecture, meaning the primary difference in driving character comes down to roof configuration and options rather than raw output. This makes the buying decision less about which car is objectively faster and more about which ownership experience, open-top or fixed-roof, suits the buyer’s driving habits in Riyadh’s climate and road network.
Exploring the Broader Certified Selection
For buyers who want to compare additional options beyond these two units, browsing the full range of Ferrari pre-owned in Riyadh listings gives access to the complete certified inventory currently held by the dealership, filterable by model, year, and mileage.
In the End
Between a track-optioned GTS and a longer-covered GTB, Riyadh’s current certified lineup offers two genuinely different ownership propositions within the same 296 family. Which factor matters more to you: the open-top driving experience, or the extra years of factory maintenance coverage?
