Ferrari presents the new 296 GT Modificata, a model developed exclusively for track use during the non-competitive events of the Club Competizioni GT program, reserved for Ferrari customers.

Presented during the Ferrari Racing Days event in Budapest, Hungary, the 296 GT Modificata is a very limited-production two-seater model that draws inspiration from the track experience gained with the 296 GT3 Evo, which debuted at the start of the 2016 season, and combines it with the technology and know-how developed not only in competition, but also for the Maranello brand's sports models.

A car that carries on the legacy of the 488 GT Modificata presented in 2020, created to offer a pure track driving experience with a V6 engine producing 730 hp (537 kW) at 7,500 rpm, for an astonishing specific output of 244 hp/l, and sophisticated aerodynamics with a true racing pedigree.

 

 

Two-seater cockpit. This car is designed with two main objectives: for drivers to hone their driving skills and to share the experience with a passenger. Modifications to the roll bar have allowed the 296 GT Modificata's cockpit to be equipped with a second seat, enabling a passenger to share the dynamic onboard experience.

Extreme performance. The key characteristics of the project are clear from the name chosen for this model: the "296" designation refers to its 2.9-liter displacement and its 6-cylinder architecture, as it is the latest version of Ferrari's 6-cylinder engine family, which has successfully powered both production and racing models.

Engine and transmission. The heart of the 296 GT Modificata is the mid-rear mounted, 2992 cc, 120° V6 internal combustion engine, which maintains the same architecture and design as the engine in the 296 GT3 Evo from which it is derived, but introduces a series of modifications to maximize performance.

Aerodynamics. Tailor-made aerodynamic solutions have been developed for two areas in particular: the front, which features a redesigned wing and a specific front hood design, and the rear, with a completely new wing architecture.

Extreme performance. The 296 GT Modificata's engine develops 730 hp (537 kW), 130 hp more than the 296 GT3 Evo (subject to Balance of Performance regulations) at 7,500 rpm. It also sets a new benchmark for specific power output with 244 hp/l (179 kW/l).

Racing DNA. The new Ferrari was designed to give its owners direct access to the track and the opportunity to participate in the Club Competizioni GT program, organized by the Maranello-based brand. The 296 GT Modificata comes standard with numerous features that are only offered as options on the 296 GT3 Evo.

Personalized features. While the 296 GT Modificata comes generously equipped as standard, owners can further personalize it with optional features that can be ordered as original equipment.

“Modificata”: history. Much more than just a word, the designation “Modificata” is part of Ferrari's tradition and embodies a philosophy centered on extreme performance and cutting-edge technology.

Over the years, the Maranello-based brand has chosen to create extreme versions of some of its racing and production models. When these models are intended exclusively for track use, free from the restrictions of any technical or motorsport regulations, they can unleash their full performance potential. This is part of the history of the Prancing Horse.

 

 

Club Competizioni GT. The 296 GT Modificata is designed exclusively for track use and participation in the events of the Ferrari Club Competizioni GT, the program created to offer Ferrari customers an exclusive members-only experience at some of the world's most prestigious racetracks. The purchase of the 296 GT Modificata includes participation in this program for two years (or 12 rounds), giving owners the opportunity to experience a unique adventure on a selection of circuits with different layouts and technical characteristics.

The 2027 Club Competizioni GT program calendar consists of seven events: Jerez de la Frontera (Spain), Misano Adriatico (Italy), Fuji (Japan), Indianapolis (USA), Paul Ricard (France), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), and the closing event at the Finali Mondiali Ferrari, the venue and dates of which will be announced soon.
