At Maranello, the passion for racing is not only lived out on the racetrack: it is also embodied in ultra-exclusive editions, such as this brand-new Ferrari 296 Speciale Piloti,<\/strong> unveiled at the Le Mans 24 Hours 2025. But don't expect to add it to your collection if you're just a lover of fine luxury cars. This Ferrari<\/a> is intended only for drivers involved in the brand's official sporting activities.<\/strong>. You don't have a racing license? Get moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tribute to customer drivers... and endurance victories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This unique model pays tribute to Ferrari's involvement and victories in the FIA World Endurance Championship, notably with the 499P, victorious at Le Mans in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The Speciale Piloti proudly bears the number 51, the number of the car driven by Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi when Ferrari returned to Le Mans after a 50-year absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the 296 GTB<\/strong>the Speciale Piloti sports a resolutely racing livery. Four colors are offered: Rosso Scuderia, Blu Tour de France, Nero Daytona and Argento N\u00fcrburgring, all enhanced by Giallo Modena accents, a hand-painted Italian flag on the front bumper and the WEC logo. The race number can be customized to suit the customer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the racing atmosphere is omnipresent. The black Alcantara bucket seats are made from the same flame-retardant fabric as the drivers' racing suits. Customized carbon door sills, metallic floor inserts, a steering wheel with an Italian flag in the center: every detail is reminiscent of the world of motorsport, right down to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still the V6 hybrid pushed to 880 hp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beneath this racetrack-ready exterior lies the heart of the 296 GTB: a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, combined with an electric motor for a combined output of 880 hp. The result? A 0 to 100 km\/h time of 2.8 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 330 km\/h. Electric range reaches 25 km, proving that performance and technology can go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferrari insists: this 296 Speciale Piloti is not intended for sale to the general public, or even to the usual wealthy customers. Only drivers active in Ferrari racing programs will have access.<\/strong> A way for the prancing horse brand to reward its most loyal ambassadors, those who wear its colors on circuits the world over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
