Ferrari has unveiled the 296 Speciale, a high-performance, hybrid sports car that hopes to take driving excitement to a whole new level.
It's based on the 296 GTB, but packs more power and unique features to make it stand out.
Here’s what makes it unique:
- Powerful Hybrid Engine: It has both a turbocharged V6 engine and an electric motor, working together to deliver 880 horsepower. That’s 50 more than the regular 296 GTB.
- Aerodynamic Design: The car is built to handle air better, increasing downforce by 20% compared to the GTB. This helps the car stick to the road during sharp turns and high speeds.
- Lightweight Materials: Ferrari shaved off 60 kilograms by using materials like carbon fibre and titanium, making the car lighter and faster.
- Extra Features for Thrills: It has special tweaks like a lower suspension, advanced brakes, and new driving tech designed to make it feel predictable yet exciting when you push it to the limit.
Simply put, the 296 Speciale isn’t just fast — it’s designed for those who love the thrill of driving. With upgrades inspired by Ferrari’s racing experience, it’s a car meant to impress both on the road and track.
