296 VS

Where I live roads are often damp and average temperatures rather low, unfortunalety.. :-(

 

Question for guys outside the UK, were you told by Ferrari that you had to keep your existing 296 until your Speciale turned up as we have been told in the UK.

 

My understanding is that you have to continually have to have a car in the garage until the speciale comes. It’s not clear if u can get out and into a new car during the time frame (assume that is okay )or have to maintain the same car that you have before this year end. It can be any ferrari but continuous ownership is required

 

At the beginning I had to keep my 296, now it is ok as long as there's min. 1 Ferrari in your garage.

 

Same here (EU).

 

E-Vortex the new track is now completed - ending road tests and spy shots.
Wasn't a fan of open road tests with pieces of blue tape but cool to see customer specs.
Made the long wait for cars like VS interesting, especially if your spec was caught on spy shots.

 

Very interesting and good way.
"An average of four new car launches per year planned between 2026 and 2030"
@day355 did you know what new models we see in 2026?

 

New non hybrid car with NA V8?

 

EV, 296M, SP4, Amalfi Spider.

 

And in 2027 a new NA V8 Car?

 

And carbon tub with manual shift option would be lovely

 

I haven't heard of such a model, but that might just be me who's out of the loop

What do you think the SP4 will be?

 

My guess is a 12C based V12.

 

Would love to see one based on the 12C - I hope you are correct!

(I would love some day to qualify for one of these SP variants. But that is probably not in the works for me )

 

wasnt there speculation of a modern day F40?

 

As far as I remember, day355 said that the one that would be made based on the 12C is the SP5.

 

Does anyone know when Verde Costeria (Amalfi Launch colour) might be available to order for 296 Speciale? Right away, or does Ferrari keep it for Amalfi only for a while?

 

That's also what my memory tells me.

 

You can order "Verde Costiera" for the 296S in the Atelier program.

 

Thanks, good to know. The more I see it, the more it looks like a budget friendly Verde Menthe/Verdo Wojo !

 

A beautiful surprise is being prepared

 

Icona model or something else?

 

@day355 Do you know when delivery of the 296 Speciale Aperta will begin and how long production will last, one year or longer?
Do you really need three Ferraris in stock for the Aperta, and do dealers only get such small quotas?
