This is the first Ferrari road car to possess a rear-wheel drive hybrid system, and the electric motor, communicating with the internal combustion engine via a new TMA actuator, boosts the maximum power to a category-topping 830cv, increasing the car’s usability in everyday driving and driving fun, thanks to the instant throttle response. Electric driving in eDrive mode enables the car to reach a speed of 135 km\/h without the aid of the internal combustion engine. The 120° vee configuration of this new engine has allowed Ferrari’s engineers to install the turbos centrally, reducing the unit’s overall dimensions and improving optimisation maximising the fluid dynamics and efficiency of the intake and exhaust line ducts. Sound-wise, the 296 GTB harmoniously combines two characteristics that are normally diametrically opposed: the force of the turbos and the harmony of the high-frequency notes of a naturally aspirated V12.

When the top is down, it is the peerlessly elegant epitome of the open-air hybrid concept. Its unprecedented architecture for a spider, in fact, opens a whole new chapter in the marque’s story. The 296 GTS’ team of designers retained the 296 GTB’s main characteristics, minimising the impact of any modifications on the exterior bodywork. The result is impeccably clean, simple architecture seems the work of a single pencil stroke. There are neither artificial optical effects nor stark colour contrasts. Instead, it has a unique identity that rewrites the entire rulebook by rediscovering the most authentic principles of Italian car design. Its clean forms and interlocking volumes enhance the uncompromisingly sporty character of the worthy heir to a philosophy that can be traced back to the very roots of Ferrari tradition. Its modernity references 1960s’ Ferraris, which made simplicity and functionality their signatures. The 250 LM from 1963, in particular, provided great inspiration through elements such as the design of the B pillar, the rear wings, and Kamm tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 296 GTS breaks into the mid-engined spider sports car segment with radical and innovative aerodynamic choices, marking a reversal in the aerodynamic thinking at Maranello: on the 296 GTB, an active device is not there to manage drag, but to generate additional downforce.

The competitors’ progressive improvement in quality and competitiveness meant that the 296 Challenge development team were able to make even more radical modifications to the original model than would have been the case in the past, fully leveraging Ferrari’s unparalleled experience in the motorsport world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest change over the 296 GTB, in line with the development of the 296 GT3, is that the hybrid powertrain was removed to reduce weight and complexity. The electric motor and high-voltage battery were also eliminated , while the power output was increased to 700 cv, largely contributed to by the development of a more linear exhaust line in the upper part of the engine compartment, , resulting in a record specific power output for the segment - 234 cv\/l. In terms of aerodynamics, the Challenge car adopts the extreme solutions of the 296 GT3, yielding unprecedented downforce figures. The braking system has also undergone a complete overhaul, redesigned with the first-ever adoption of new CCM-R PLUS discs, which use technology derived from the most extreme track applications. The introduction of this innovation, together with the circuit-specific evolution of the ABS EVO Track used on the 296 GTB, has delivered previously unimaginable braking performance and repeatability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 296 Challenge showcases an impressive ability to generate 870 kg of downforce at 250 km\/h when the spoiler is set to its maximum angle of attack. This is an 18% increase in downforce compared to the 488 Challenge Evo. The car’s aero design focused not just on the pursuit of performance, but also on driveability. To achieve both of these goals, the car’s sensitivity to variations in downforce and the aero balance to the car’s ground clearance, yaw and roll were minimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 296 Challenge is equipped with all-new Pirelli tyres, developed over a year-long rigorous a design phase that involved the use of advanced simulation technologies and a variety of different verification loops on international circuits. The use of a wider front wheel with an 11” channel allowed Pirelli to develop a tyre geared towards better turn-in grip, lower wear, and greater consistency over the course of a race. The focus on performance extends to the cockpit, where the central tunnel has been reimagined with a new control layout, ensuring that the vital functions are always within easy reach for the driver. A notable enhancement can be seen in the rear bumper, which, unlike the 296 GTB, now features an optimised vertical exterior profile to reduce drag. Two vents have been strategically added at the sides to channel air out of the rear wheel arches and into the car’s wake, optimising the efficiency of the rear underbody and reducing overall drag, thereby boosting overall aero efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine scale model of the Ferrari 296 Challenge at 1:8 scale has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

With design DNA reminiscent of the 250 LM, the car redefines the idea of driving fun, providing excitement not only on the racetrack, but in everyday driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car’s power unit is rooted in Ferrari’s unparalleled racing history: the double Targe Florio-winning 246 SP, the 156 F1 ‘Sharknose’, 1982’s 126 C2, and all Ferrari Formula 1 cars since 2014 have been fitted with V6 engines, the latter with plug-in (PHEV) hybrid architecture that directly translates to the 296 GTB. This is the first Ferrari road car to possess a rear-wheel drive hybrid system, and the electric motor, communicating with the internal combustion engine via a new TMA actuator, boosts the maximum power to a category-topping 830cv, increasing the car’s usability in everyday driving and driving fun, thanks to the instant throttle response. Electric driving in eDrive mode enables the car to reach a speed of 135 km\/h without the aid of the internal combustion engine. The 120° vee configuration of this new engine has allowed Ferrari’s engineers to install the turbos centrally, reducing the unit’s overall dimensions and improving optimisation maximising the fluid dynamics and efficiency of the intake and exhaust line ducts. Sound-wise, the 296 GTB harmoniously combines two characteristics that are normally diametrically opposed: the force of the turbos and the harmony of the high-frequency notes of a naturally aspirated V12. This Ferrari’s soundtrack matches its performance, creating a sense of unprecedented involvement for the driver, and marking a new page in Maranello’s berlinetta history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the 296 GTB redefines the identity of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined berlinetta, giving the car a compact, modern and original line, with muscular mudguards, a visor roof, flying buttresses, a brand-new vertical rear screen and a truncated tail that incorporates enclosed lights and an integrated spoiler. Its 50mm shortened wheelbase and monolithic appearance make it the most compact berlinetta from Maranello in the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 296 GTB breaks into the sports berlinetta segment with radical and innovative aerodynamic choices, marking a reversal in the aerodynamic thinking at Maranello: on the 296 GTB, an active device is not there to manage drag, but to generate additional downforce. Ferrari engineers also developed a range of new components for use in the 296 GTB, including the TMA actuator and 6w-CDS body sensor, plus features such as the first-ever ‘ABS evo’ controller and grip estimator integrated with the EPS. Meticulous attention was paid to reducing weight to ensure the car’s balance and delicacy of handling, and the results are strong: the 296 GTB possess a class-leading overall weight-to-power ratio of 1.77 kg\/cv.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis fine scale model features the 296 GTB in a Nero Daytona exterior paint scheme with Giallo accents.
