The Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo Design Preview

Three years after its presentation at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 2022, Ferrari has chosen the same race, the most important on the GT calendar, to unveil the new 296 GT3 Evo.

The car builds on the experience gained with the 296 LMGT3 (which will compete in the FIA WEC from the 2024 season) and the 296 GT3, which, since its debut, has won five titles, including Drivers' and Team titles in the Pro class of the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup – the benchmark championship for GT3 cars – as well as victories at the Nürburgring 24 Hours and the 24 Hours at Daytona. The statistics take the tally to 140 victories, 405 podiums and 56 pole positions in 343 races.

Client feedback and racing experience have led to the development of the 296 GT3 Evo, the result of targeted and concrete actions aimed at creating an even more competitive car in all conditions, while maintaining the concept of “modularity” that has made the 296 GT3 a true benchmark, especially in terms of ease of maintenance and set-up.

Engine and gearbox. The V6 combustion engine of the 296 GT3 Evo remains unchanged from the previous version. It retains the 120° V configuration with the turbochargers positioned inside the V, which offers significant benefits in terms of compactness and weight reduction, helping to achieve extremely high levels of power. Versatile, reliable and high-performing, the engine has always been appreciated for for its power delivery and torque since its debut.
