Ferrari unveiled the track-only model "Ferrari 296 GT Modificata (296 GT Modificata)" through its Ferrari Racing Days event held in Budapest. This model is a two-seater vehicle produced in extremely limited quantities exclusively for the Club Competizioni GT, a non-competitive track driving program.
The new car was developed based on the 296th GT3 Evo and is characterized by its disregard for motorsport regulations, with performance pushed to the limit based solely on Ferrari's own judgment. The 2,992cc 120° V6 turbo engine mounted in a rear midship configuration delivers a maximum output of 730cv (537kW) at 7,500rpm and a peak torque of 800Nm. This represents a 130cv increase compared to the 296th GT3 Evo, a race model subject to performance balance (BoP) regulations. The transmission features a new six-speed sequential gearbox equipped with a carbon clutch. For reference, "130cv" stands for Cavallo Vapore, a unit commonly used in Europe equivalent to metric horsepower (PS), meaning 130cv is approximately 130 horsepower (hp).
To maximize aerodynamic performance, the front features a slotted splitter, a dedicated hood, and auxiliary air intakes for brake cooling. The rear is equipped with a new center pylon, a 5mm garnish flap, and a rear wing combining endplates inspired by the 499P. Through these enhancements, the vehicle has secured the potential to reduce lap times by three seconds compared to the 296th GT3 Evo on the Fiorano Circuit.
The braking system enhances reliability by applying steel front discs with improved cooling efficiency and optimized cooling ducts. Additionally, an improved roll bar structure enables a two-seater cabin equipped with a passenger seat and an integrated intercom system, allowing the driver and passenger to share the driving experience. Various racing specifications, including data acquisition systems, VideoBox Premium, and IRTPMS, are standard equipment. Buyers of the 296th GT Modificata will be granted participation rights in the Club Competizioni GT program, which consists of a total of 12 sessions held over the next two years.
