The non-Assetto Fiorano cars are arguably some of the best driving, if not the best driving, supercars currently on the market in terms of actual ride quality. One of the very few performance cars that are made for real roads - they all roll, pitch and dive and have a delicacy and finesse to their chassis tuning you simply can’t find anywhere else apart from the Alpine and Lotus cars. The steering rack is a bit too quick for my taste but feel-wise it’s definitely better than in the F8 and 488 GTB.

The AF car with its Multimatic dampers is a different story but I would say it still feels at least 10% less stiff compared to something like a 992 GT3. So if you are fine with the ride quality of the current GT3, you can also handle the 296 with AF option.

You are right about the UX, it’s absolutely terrible. The same applies to the lack of real buttons. There is also an emotional factor to this - pressing the start button on a Ferrari should be a great experience- it isn’t with the 296.

This is all subjective but I don’t agree with the argument about the carbon racing seats. I’ve had them in 3 cars and find them comfortable enough not only to do long distance drives but also to daily drive the car.

Lovely looking thing.

The size of the diffuser as well as the central shark fin are incredible and completely unique for a 911. If you had told me 10 years ago that a street-legal 911 would look like this, I would have laughed at you.

Thanks to everyone who buys these Macans!
