The new Ferrari 296 Speciale is the most hardcore version of the 296 yet, with a lighter body, more power, and increased downforce.
It succeeds the legendary 458 Speciale, a car known for its pure, light, and beautiful design, as well as its spine-tingling naturally-aspirated V8 engine.
The 458 Speciale is one of the finest road cars Ferrari has ever built.
The 296 Speciale has a price tag of £359,779 and its name suggests a balance between road and track performance, unlike other Ferrari models like the Challenge Stradale, Scuderia, and Pista, which have a more overt track focus.
Visually, the Speciale has a mix of authentic race-bred details, but it stops short of being a direct competitor to the 992 RS.
Author's summary: Ferrari's new 296 Speciale is a hardcore version.
