What's new for the Ferrari 296 Speciale?
A new era of aerodynamic innovation begins with the introduction of the Medium Downforce (MD) active spoiler position, maximizing rear-end stability while preserving peak velocity. A newly engineered rear diffuser, meticulously paired with an optimized underbody, accelerates transverse airflow expansion to boost both efficiency and grip. This aerodynamic suite is further refined by a high-performance aero damper, derived from the 296 Challenge designed to maintain exceptional balance and precision through high-speed corners and intense braking zones.

Features of the Ferrari 296 Speciale
296 Speciale Engine Features
A Formula 1 derived knock control system has enabled the 296 Speciale to achieve a 7% increase in combustion chamber pressure over the 296 GTB, resulting in heightened responsiveness and thermal efficiency. At its core is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, seamlessly integrated with an MGU-K dual-rotor electric motor and a 7.45 kWh high-voltage battery. This advanced setup delivers a combined output of 880 horsepower, offering instantaneous torque and razor sharp throttle response that redefines Ferrari’s mid-engine hybrid performance.
Ferrari Speciale Weight-Savings
Multimatic single-rate shock absorbers sourced from the 296 GT3 deliver consistent damping and razor-sharp handling, even under extreme conditions. Lightweight titanium springs reduce unsprung mass, amplifying agility and precision across both road and track environments. Extensive use of titanium and forged engine components including a lighter turbocharger, reduced-mass crankcase, and the elimination of excess material contributes to significant weight reduction and enhanced performance. Strategic application of carbon fiber throughout the interior and exterior further trims mass while reinforcing the car’s motorsport-focused design.
Ferrari 296 Speciale Aerodynamics
Among the most distinctive elements at the rear of the 296 Speciale are its integrated side wings, an aerodynamic fusion of the FXX-K’s lateral flaps and the outer bumper profile of the 296 Challenge. This single design element enhances both airflow management and visual aggression. A completely revised active spoiler management system shortens transition times between aerodynamic configurations, while a new Medium Downforce (MD) setting boosts rear stability without compromising top speed. Vortex generators on the rear undertray have been optimized to split airflow more effectively, increasing rear downforce over the 296 GTB. Additionally, aero damper ducts now channel underbody airflow toward the upper surfaces, delivering more consistent downforce across varying speeds. The side bumper’s outer profile maximizes the outwash effect, generating additional rear downforce and improving the evacuation of heat from the radiator vents.
