A NEW BENCHMARK
The 296 Speciale is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a 120° V6 internal combustion engine, which produces 700 cv in this guise, and an electric motor installed between the internal combustion engine itself and the 8-speed DCT gearbox, for a total output of 880 cv. An additional clutch decouples the engine and electric motor to allow for full-electric driving mode.
The weight-saving measures introduced for this car included new solutions for castings, connecting rod/piston assemblies and fasteners, drawing extensively from Ferrari’s experience in racing. The result is a weight reduction of approximately 9 kg for the engine of the 296 Speciale compared with the 296 GTB. The 296 Speciale features the extra boost control strategy, which takes full advantage of the capabilities of the electric drive system to deliver a performance boost for a limited period of time.
The purpose of the extra boost function, which is only available in the ‘Qualify’ eManettino setting, is to deliver a power boost when exiting corners to help reduce lap times. A dedicated version of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyre has been developed for the 296 Speciale, which benefits from experience gained with the F80.
The 296 Special is equipped with Multimatic® single-rate shock absorbers derived from the 296 GT3 and titanium springs to minimise overall weight. The 296 Speciale generates a total of 435 kg downforce at 250 km/h, 20% more than the 296 GTB. This has been made possible by incorporating aerodynamic concepts developed for race cars such as the 296 Challenge and 296 GT3.
Derived from the 296 GTB and working in synergy with the side wings, the active spoiler has a completely revised actuator management strategy which minimises transition times between different configurations. The strategy allows for four positions: Low Drag (LD), with the wing fully retracted; a new intermediate position, which partially deploys the wing so that it is ready to transition rapidly to the maximum downforce position while still remaining flush with the bumper; the new Medium Downforce (MD) position, which increases rear end stability without penalising top speed; and High Downforce (HD), which is employed in case of high lateral acceleration or under hard braking.
SPORTY, THRILLING SOUL
The design of the 296 Speciale has very clear links with closed wheel racing Ferraris. The front view leaves no doubt as to the potent performance capabilities and expressiveness of the car. The front bonnet appears more scalloped, a result of the contrasting positive and negative surface effect achieved by paring away volume.
The lower zone is characterised by a splitter and a front intake which is more extreme in style than the 296 GTB to reveal all the power and aggressiveness of the 296 Speciale, and is larger to create the impression of a trimaran shape. The influence of the motor sports world, and of the 296 Challenge in particular, is also immediately recognisable at the rear.
The most distinctive features here are two all-new side wings fixed to the outermost edges of the tail to frame the tail itself. The tailpipe of the 296 Speciale is set between the tail and the diffuser in a solution differing completely from the model it is derived from: inspired by the F80, this feature has clean, very technical forms emphasising the performance of the car.
The flying bridge theme already seen on the 296 GTB and 296 GTS is further accentuated on the 296 Speciale by the dark colour finish of the roof, which gives the greenhouse an even more aggressive look. The interior style exudes the hallmark ambience of special-version Ferraris, with an extensive use of carbon fibre and Alcantara©. A specific door panel was created for this car consisting of a single block of carbon fibre with a minimalist design. The grab handle consists of a raised section of a functional zone which terminates in a distinctive, clean-cut surface and incorporates the speakers of the Hi-Fi system.
