Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari 296 GTB and 296 GTS each manage three separate cooling circuits: one for the engine, one for the high voltage battery, and one for the inverter. Each circuit carries its own distinct fluid capacity, reflecting the thermal management demands of a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
  • Engine cooling capacity on both the 296 GTB and 296 GTS is listed at 20.26 liters when the high voltage heater is absent. A higher voltage heater adds volume to the circuit, raising the engine cooling system capacity to 22 liters on both variants.
  • The 1.74-liter difference between the two engine cooling capacities corresponds directly to the presence or absence of the high voltage heater component, which is integrated into the same cooling loop rather than served by a dedicated separate circuit.
  • The high voltage battery cooling circuit holds 3.5 liters on both the 296 GTB and 296 GTS. A dedicated battery cooling loop of this size is consistent with the thermal regulation requirements of a high-capacity lithium-ion traction battery operating under performance conditions.
  • The inverter cooling circuit carries 2.5 liters across both variants. The inverter, which converts DC power from the battery to AC power for the electric motor, generates significant heat under load and requires its own isolated cooling volume.
  • All six cooling circuit entries across both variants share a single check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The time-based threshold of 12 months means the interval applies even when annual mileage falls below 20,000 km.
