2025 Ferrari 296 Speciale Piloti: Track-Only Precision for Ferrari’s Inner Circle
The 2025 Ferrari 296 Speciale Piloti isn’t available to the public. It’s a limited-edition, track-focused evolution of the 296 GTB, engineered exclusively for Ferrari’s client-racing drivers. This model celebrates Ferrari’s recent dominance in endurance championships and draws direct inspiration from the Le Mans-winning Hypercar.
Ferrari didn’t just tweak the 296 GTB. It re-engineered it.
Engine: 3.0L 120° twin-turbocharged V6
Electric Motor: Rear-mounted axial flux motor
Combined Output: 868 hp
Torque: 557 lb-ft
Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch (DCT) with fast-shift logic
0–62 mph: 2.8 seconds
Top Speed: 205 mph
Electric Range: 15.5 miles via 7.45 kWh battery
The hybrid system uses a revised control strategy to deliver instant torque and maximum boost during high-load corner exits. The power management software unlocks full output during time attack conditions.
The 296 Speciale Piloti weighs 3,109 lbs, shedding over 77 lbs compared to the standard 296 GTB. Key reductions include:
Carbon fiber door panels and underbody
Lightweight lithium-ion battery
Forged carbon wheels
Stripped infotainment and comfort systems
The chassis features stiffer springs, recalibrated magnetorheological dampers, and a revised rear subframe for improved torsional rigidity. The result: sharper turn-in, reduced understeer, and better mid-corner stability.
Aerodynamic downforce is up 20% over the 296 GTB. The aero package includes:
Fixed rear wing generating 220 lbs of downforce at 155 mph
Enlarged front splitters and underbody vortex generators
Brake cooling ducts styled after open-wheel racing
Rear gamma winglets for high-speed stabilization
Color schemes include Giallo Modena, Rosso Scuderia, Blu Tour De France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nürburgring. Each unit features a competition-inspired racing number, tricolore graphics, and special badging.
The cabin is stripped to racing essentials:
Seats: Thermoformed Alcantara with fireproof material
Trim: Matte carbon fiber on dash, door cards, and console
Footwell: Bare-metal with optional personalized finish
Identification: Engraved sill and carbon-fiber serial plate
No infotainment screen. No driving modes. Just a focused layout, telemetry-ready instruments, and GT-style steering.
This car isn’t for collectors. It’s for racers. Access is restricted to:
Active Ferrari Challenge drivers
GT and endurance competitors
Proven Ferrari Piloti customers with competition credentials
Only one confirmed unit has been completed. While there’s no disclosed cap, fewer than 50 units are expected globally.

The 296 Speciale Piloti is street-legal, but only technically. Its racing suspension, Cup2R tires, and stripped interior make it uncomfortable for public roads. Owners are expected to run it on private circuits.
The Ferrari 296 Speciale Piloti is a purpose-built machine. No chrome. No comfort. Just racing hardware calibrated for a single mission—lap time.
It’s for professionals who’ve earned their place behind the wheel. If that’s not you, Ferrari won’t build one.
