capturing the glory of a third consecutive Le Mans: ferrari 296 Speziale Filotti for ‘real drivers’

following the recent unveiling of the hardcore track version of the 296 Speziale, Ferrari has unveiled an even more exclusive, limited-edition model at the 24 Hours of Le Mans: the Ferrari 296 Speziale Filotti. not just for supercar collectors, but for “real drivers” who push Ferrari to its limits on the circuit, this model symbolizes the brand’s racing DNA.

Celebrating WEC and Le Mans domination, something not just anyone can buy

the inspiration for this model is the brand’s three consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans wins from 2023 to 2025 and its dominant performance in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). ferrari’s customization division, the “Tailor Made” program, was responsible for its development, and its availability is extremely limited.

in order to purchase one, you must be a customer who actually participates in an official track program organized by Ferrari, such as the Ferrari Challenge or the Corse Clienti. Simply attending a track day does not qualify, and fewer than 1,000 customers worldwide are known to have qualified, adding to its rarity.

the design language of the race car: an homage to the 499P

the exterior pays homage to Ferrari’s racing history. the four available base colors (Rosso Scuderia, Blue Tour de France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nürburgring) are complemented by yellow accents and Italian flag graphics inspired by the Le Mans-winning racecar, the ‘499P’. customers can have their own racing number engraved on the bodywork, and the first model to be unveiled features ‘#51’, the number of the 2023 Le Mans-winning car.

the interior is even more hardcore. black Alcantara bucket seats are accented with the fire-resistant fabric used in the racing suits of real Ferrari factory drivers, while racing numbers and Italian flag emblems are scattered throughout to emphasize the track-only model’s identity.

performance: 880 hp hybrid and the ‘Speziale’ name

the technical specifications are identical to the outgoing 296 Speziale. 3.the 0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine and hybrid system combine to produce a total output of 880 hp, an increase of 50 hp over the base 296 GTB. In addition to this, the Speziale model also features

• aerodynamic performance: 20% more downforce thanks to FXX-K-style fixed winglets and a three-stage active rear spoiler
• lightweight: approximately 60 kg less than the outgoing model
• chassis tuning: optimized settings for track use, including a 5mm lower body, faster gearshift speeds, etc

the Ferrari 296 Speziale Filotti is more than just a limited edition, it is a model that embodies the pride of the brand and its commitment to racing. as a true heir to the legendary 458 Speziale, it will go down in history as another dream car for Ferrari enthusiasts.
