Ferrari has revealed a new car. It is called the 296<\/a> GT Modificata. It is only available to a special group of Ferrari customers, is limited in its production, and is \u2013 to be frank \u2013 largely unhinged.<\/p>\n

Because this is a Ferrari born from racing \u2013 spun off the 296 GT3 Evo and successor to the equally unhinged 488 Modificata<\/a> \u2013 but bins all the bits that makes that GT3 eligible for fair racing. Hence why this Modificata is now much more powerful: 720bhp versus the GT3 Evo\u2019s puny 590bhp. That\u2019s a very healthy, lightly scary increase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So scary in fact, it\u2019ll lap Fiorano<\/a> three seconds quicker than that GT3 car. Fiorano is a short, sharp track. Three seconds here is an eternity.<\/p>\n

Changes over the GT3 car include new interior componentry for the 2.9-litre V6\u2019s turbos, a new fuel system and additional low pressure pump, new exhaust, and new ratios for the six-speed sequential gearbox. So Ferrari.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There\u2019s more \u2018Ferrari\u2019 in the new 296\u2019s aero. This one gets new wings front and back, a new bonnet for better heat dissipation, plus more vents. And more powerful brakes. And an actual passenger seat to scare the wits out of your willing co-pilot. And many sensors to display many racing things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And of course the option to spend much more money on options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOver the years, the Maranello-based marque has chosen to create extreme versions of some of its existing race or production models; where these are intended for track use only, as they are not bound by the constraints of any technical or motorsports regulations, they can unleash their full potential for performance,\u201d said Ferrari.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, there have also been a number of road-going \u2018Modificata\u2019 models throughout the history of the Prancing Horse.\u201d This isn\u2019t one of those road-going models, because it\u2019s limited to the track and only for drivers in the Ferrari Club Competizioni GT. Which means buying this thing grants you access to 12 rounds\/two years of racing tracks around the world.<\/p>\n

Price and build numbers? Well, if you have to ask\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
