Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale debuts at Le Mans

To celebrate the successes the brand has achieved in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), and to honour its customer-racing drivers, Ferrari has developed the 296 Speciale with the Piloti Ferrari configuration. The latest expression of the Tailor Made programme debuted at the Circuit de la Sarthe, home of the legendary Le Mans 24-Hour endurance race which is on this weekend.

Inspired by 499P
The unique specification, reserved for customers involved in Ferrari’s official sporting activities — both competitive and non-competitive — is inspired by the 499P, overall winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 and 2024 in the Hypercar category.

The Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale is offered in 4 racing-inspired colours: Rosso Scuderia, Blu Tour De France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nurburgring. Designed for those who live the track firsthand, the special livery and finish reflects the identity of a community of client-racing drivers who actively contribute to Ferrari’s racing legacy.

The exterior livery features a hand-painted WEC logo, the Italian flag on the front bumper, and a customizable number chosen by the client. The model unveiled at Le Mans bears the number 51, with which Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi claimed victory in 2023 — the year of Ferrari’s official return to top-tier endurance racing and the French race’s centenary.

The cabin features racing seats upholstered in thermoformed black Alcantara, with inserts made from the same fireproof fabric used for the official drivers’ suits. The livery number is also reproduced on the interior carbonfibre, while the technical metal footwell surface can be customized upon request. The personalisation is completed by a carbonfibre identification plaque and a carbonfibre door sill with an exclusive customizable dedication.

The 296 Speciale
The 296 Speciale is a special version of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined berlinetta that represents the extreme evolution of the 296 GTB. The plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a 120-degree twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 880 ps.

The chassis has been revised for even more responsive and precise track behaviour; the new extra boost software strategy delivers full power during high-performance laps. Its compact dimensions and design integrate radical technical solutions—such as rear gamma wings, suspended splitters, and an enlarged diffuser evoking a racing aesthetic.
