Ferrari unveiled "296 Speciale" with the specification of "Piloti Ferrari" at the 24 o'clock endurance race eve event. This vehicle is the latest in the Ferrari TaylorMade program, a special model designed to commemorate achievements at the FIA World Endurance Championships (WEC) and to pay tribute to Ferrari customer racing drivers.

The Philotti Ferrari 296 Spechiale made its official debut at the French "La Sart Circuit," where the competition took place, to highlight its symbolic connection to the Le Mans 24 o'clock endurance race. This unique specification is designed exclusively for customers (including competition and non-competition) who participate in Ferrari's official motorsport activities, and is inspired by the 499P, which won the overall Le Mans 24:00 in 2023 and 2024 in the hypercar category.



The vehicle's special livery (appearance style that represents the vehicle's identity) and finish contain the identity of the customer racing driver community who want to experience Ferrari's DNA firsthand on the track.

The Philotti Ferrari 296 Spechiale is available in four racing-inspired colors: Rosso Scuderia (bright and vivid red), Blue Tour de France (metallic navy blue), Nero Daytona (metallic black), and Argento Nurburgring (metallic silver). Appearance livery finished with 499P-inspired Gialo Modena (Strong Yellow).

The hand-drawn WEC logo, the Italian flag on the front bumper, and a custom number for customers to choose from were added. The model unveiled in Le Mans bears the number "51," the number Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi drove during the 2023 championship. For reference, 2023 was the year Ferrari officially returned to the top endurance race stage and the 100th anniversary of 24:00 Le Mans.

The interior was equipped with a racing seat finished with a thermal black alcantara (a high-end black artificial suede finely molded using high temperature pressure), with the same flameproof material used in official driver suits as a partial finish. The interior carbon fiber is also emblazoned with the Liberi number, and the footwell (floor part with pedals) surface of the functional metal material can be customized according to customer request. Personalization options also include a car registration number plaque made of carbon fiber and a carbon fiber door sill for engraving dedicated stationery.






The 296 Spectiale is a special version of the Ferrari midfielder engine Berlinetta, a model that has taken the joy of driving to the next level by evolving the 296 GTB to the extreme. A plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 120-degree twin-turbo V6 engine and an electric motor produces a total of 880 horsepower (cv). The internal combustion engine became lighter and more powerful by applying parts derived from F1 technology.



Ferrari's fast shift strategy was applied to the 8-speed DCT transmission, maximizing electric torque and enhancing speed and reactivity of the shift. The vehicle weight was reduced compared to the existing 296 GTB, and the aerodynamic downforce was increased by 20%. The chassis has been improved for more agile and precise track performance, and is equipped with a new Extra Boost software system to provide maximum power for high-performance lap driving. Bold technical solutions such as rear gamma wing, lower splitter, and expandable diffuser combine with compact body and design to complete an intense style reminiscent of a racing car.



499P is a hypercar that Ferrari put in in 2023, returning to the top class of the FIA World Endurance Championship for the first time in 50 years. Designed in accordance with the hypercar regulations, this model features a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a double wishbone suspension. The hybrid powertrain combines a 3-liter twin turbo V6 engine that serves as a structure to support the body's load and an electric motor at the front to produce an output of about 680 horsepower.



In addition, active four-wheel drive is operated above 190 km/h, and the electronic unit also performs a regenerative braking function. Aerodynamics is optimized to provide efficiency and stability in all kinds of circuits. The 499P is the 51st and 50th vehicles of the Ferrari AF Corset team and 83rd vehicles of the AF Corset team, making a spectacular return to the world's most prestigious endurance race stage, winning three consecutive Le Mans 24-hour endurance races in 2023-2025.



Ferrari TaylorMade is a Ferrari-specific program designed to fully customize every element of the vehicle to the customer's taste. Customers will be fully supported by a dedicated designer who will respect Ferrari's aesthetic standards and carefully interpret their wishes, as well as a team of experts centered on him.



The range of choices is virtually endless, and you can experience Ferrari's world of originality, elegance, and differentiated quality through three collections: Classica, Inedita, and Scuderia.
