Ferrari 296 Speciale Unveiled: A New Benchmark In Driving Thrills And Performance
The Ferrari 296 Speciale, a new special edition model, has been introduced. This mid-rear engine plug-in hybrid berlinetta is designed to offer unmatched driving excitement. It features a hybrid powertrain with an impressive 880 cv output. The car's aerodynamic enhancements boost downforce by 20% compared to the 296 GTB, while weight reduction and a unique suspension setup enhance driver engagement.
Ferrari's engineers have fine-tuned the electronic control systems, suspension setup, and tyres to ensure predictable performance at the limit. The 296 Speciale includes the latest ABS Evo dynamic control system for improved braking precision. The car rides 5 mm lower than the 296 GTB, reducing roll angle by 13% during cornering.
The heart of the 296 Speciale is an evolved V6 engine from the Ferrari lineup. This engine works with an electric motor in a plug-in hybrid system. The combined power output reaches an astounding 880 hp, which is 50 cv more than its predecessor, the 296 GTB. This increase is achieved through innovative engine management and boost strategies.
The internal combustion engine of this model retains its distinctive sound while delivering class-leading performance. With a peak power of 700 cv, it sets a new record for specific power in its class at 234 cv/l. Weight-saving measures include titanium connecting rods and a lightened crankshaft.
The aerodynamics of the 296 Speciale have been significantly enhanced. It generates 435 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, which is a notable improvement over the previous model. Innovations like an aero damper integrated into the front bonnet and vertical fins on the rear bumper contribute to this increased downforce.
The exterior design reflects influences from closed-wheel racing Ferraris. The front features a scalloped bonnet with contrasting surfaces, while the rear showcases protruding side wings for improved aerodynamics. A new five-spoke forged wheel design adds to its contemporary look.
Interior and Features
Inside, the design philosophy focuses on simplicity and weight reduction. Carbon fibre and Alcantara are extensively used to create a race-focused cabin environment. A specific door panel made from carbon fibre enhances this theme, incorporating speakers directly into its structure.
The centre tunnel is entirely carbon fibre with controls set into it, including an iconic 'shift gate' element inspired by past Ferrari models. This feature draws attention as the focal point of the interior design.
Advanced Technology
The electric motor complements the internal combustion engine by providing additional torque and power while enabling full-electric driving mode up to 25 km range. The MGU-K electric motor between the V6 and gearbox offers up to 180 cv in extra boost mode.
This advanced system includes a clutch for decoupling components during different driving modes and manages energy flow efficiently through various settings selected via eManettino on the steering wheel.
