Ferrari has taken the 296 GT3 Evo and removed one of the biggest constraints placed on any racing car: the rulebook. The new 296 GT Modificata is a track-only, two-seat machine developed for the Club Competizioni GT programme, with production limited to an extremely small number of cars. It continues the philosophy of the 488 GT Modificata, introduced in 2020.
Freed from the need to comply with motorsport technical regulations, Ferrari has been able to extract considerably more from the 2,992cc, 120-degree twin-turbo V6. Output rises to 730cv, or 537kW, at 7,500rpm—130cv more than the 296 GT3 Evo produces under Balance of Performance regulations. Torque stands at 800Nm, while specific output reaches 244cv per litre. The cranktrain, camshafts, induction system, intercoolers, and turbochargers have all been revised, with a six-speed sequential gearbox and carbon clutch completing the drivetrain.
The aerodynamics have also been extensively reworked. The front gains a new slotted splitter and unique bonnet, together with additional openings to improve cooling. At the rear is an entirely new wing featuring a single central pylon, structural endplates inspired by the 499P and a larger 5mm Gurney flap. New ventilated steel front brake discs and revised cooling ducts are designed to maintain more consistent braking performance during prolonged track use.
Despite its competition-derived character, the Modificata retains two seats. The passenger seat allows an instructor to accompany the driver during track sessions, with a dedicated footrest and integrated intercom supporting real-time coaching. Data acquisition, video recording, and tyre-pressure and temperature monitoring are also fitted as standard.
Ferrari says the changes give the 296 GT Modificata the potential to lap Fiorano three seconds faster than the 296 GT3 Evo. The purchase also includes two years or 12 rounds of Club Competizioni GT participation, with the 2027 calendar visiting circuits including Jerez, Misano, Fuji, Indianapolis, Paul Ricard, and Spa-Francorchamps.
