296 VS

Coupé looks better than the Spider at the 296 GTB and GTS it was the other way around. Nothing was changed at 296 speciale Spider at the rear window and engine cover, said.

 

Video doesn’t work unfortunately. Also new design element, it seems like the engine cover is all carbon? So you can’t see the engine at all?

 

Best side skirts I’ve ever seen.

 

video works perfectly: 880hp -60kg 0-100, 2,8, 0-200 7,0
Name: Speciale and SpecialeA

 

It’s amazing from the rear. Lol. It’s hugely different from standard.

 

I like it!

 

I think it's beautiful, Manzoni did not dissapoint.

 

I like it a lot! Not sure about the winglets but everything else is pretty much perfect!

 

I think it’s incredible. Bravo.

 

Have to say wish the clear engine cover was an option

 

Like it actually. Departure from the duck tails of the 458 Speciale and pista but incorporating element from the fxx. Definitely improved and sportier than the regular car. Also seems like the aperta has the option of the fixed buckets that the sf90xx has?

 

Haha no

 

Speciale: > 400.000 €
Speciale A: > 460.000 €

 

I allready saw the prices. If they are correct I am happy with my 296 GTS. Round about 35 percent more.

 

So $600-700k with options. Crazy expensive. Performance warrants.

 

So the lap time around Fiorano is 1:19 which means it has the same time as the SF90 Stradale but is it just me or I find that slightly hard to believe? I just kinda feel like this is some sandbagging because Ferrari doesn’t want to allow the 296 to outperform the SF90, if we actually look at some of the lap times the standard 296 was actually quicker but who knows.

-60kg compared to standard or to assetto pack?

 

I don’t love the rear wing but I love everything else. Performance numbers are great. Sweet car

 

The 296 GTB is already so beautiful that it's hard to get excited by the looks of this Speciale. Feels visually busy to me (understanding it is all functional). I'd be happy with the standard model — plenty fast.

 

Apparently another variant is being announced next month. The “Piloti”.

 

Is there any details, beside the horsepower gain, like new tech regarding suspension, transmission etc..?

 

but both of those reported numbers are slower than magazines and people have gotten from the regular 296. This
will be faster than Ferrari has just said, but I don’t think Ferrari wants to upset SF90 on the official stat line.

 

You would have to go back to around page 20 or so but a member (maybe it was day355??) said there would be the VS version and the Mugello version. That was years ago so I’m going off memory but to be accurate if what you are saying is true.

 

interesting the weight saving is so bad, 1/3rd less reduction than the cs, 458spec or pista

the styling change is much more subtle than I thought it'd be tbh
