Some cars are made to be driven. Others, to be remembered. The Ferrari 296 is both.

On April 26, 2025, Alfardan Motors – Ferrari Oman welcomed clients and prospects to a new chapter of Esperienza Ferrari, hosted at the elegant Piano Lounge at Shangri-La Al Bandar. The gathering brought together current owners, future drivers, and admirers of the 296—each drawn by the car’s blend of performance, emotion, and unmistakable Ferrari character.

Outside, the spotlight was shared between two 296 GTS and one 296 GTB, ready for test drives through the winding coastal roads of Muscat. Nearby, a certified pre-owned 296 GTB stood on display, offering a tangible glimpse into the world of Ferrari Approved ownership.

Inside, the Piano Lounge transformed into a reflection of Ferrari’s refined spirit. Red roses adorned each table, Ferrari cushions added warmth to every seat, and Cavallino centerpieces grounded the experience in heritage. It was understated, yet unmistakably Ferrari—where every detail spoke the brand’s language without saying a word.

As guests mingled and shared stories, the 296 quietly took center stage. Test drives weren’t just about speed; they were about connection. With every turn and every acceleration, the 296 revealed what makes it extraordinary: compact, powerful, and intuitive, it delivers an emotional response that only a Ferrari can.

Esperienza Ferrari is never just an event. It’s a moment where the line between admiration and ownership fades, and the Ferrari lifestyle comes into clear focus. For many, this day with the 296 marked a continuation of that journey.
