- Ferrari debuts the track-only 296 GT Modificata for select clientele.
- Unrestricted twin-turbo V6 makes 720 HP without hybrid assistance.
- The supercar laps Fiorano three seconds faster than the 296 GT3 Evo.
Ferrari has unveiled the most extreme version of the 296 yet, dubbed the GT Modificata. The track-only model is based on the 296 GT3 Evo racecar but throws out the motorsport rulebook offering unrestricted performance. Production will be limited for members of the Club Competizioni GT programme, serving as a successor to the 488 GT Modificata from 2020.
Visually, the 296 GT Modificata looks very similar to 2025’s 296 GT3 Evo, following the original 296 GT3 from 2022. Key differences include more subtle front bumper canards, a more pronounced splitter, tweaked intakes, custom tailpipes, and a redesigned rear wing with larger endplates inspired by the 499P.

The track-only model retains the dramatic gills on the fenders, the vented hood and the nose-mounted LEDs from its racing counterparts, as well as the 18-inch alloy wheels shod in slick tires. The show car also gets a unique livery combining yellow, silver and white graphics with exposed carbon fiber bits. A cool touch is the diagonal lines on the rear fenders extending on the rear wing. Of course, owners will be able to personalize the appearance with the help of the Ferrari Design Studio.

The stripped-out interior and the bucket seat with racing harnesses are also derived from the GT3 car, although Ferrari has managed to add a passenger seat by tweaking the integrated roll cage. This enables owners to share the experience with another person or participate in track days with an instructor on board.

The cabin also features an intercom system, safety nets, special controls on the yoke steering wheel and center console, a digital instrument cluster an additional telemetry monitor, and loads of exposed carbon fiber. Finally, options include a rear radar, which warns the driver of cars approaching from behind at higher speed.

At the heart of the 296 GT Modificata is a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, doing without the hybrid system of the roadgoing 296 GTB and 296 Speciale. The unit shares its design with the racing engine but it has been upgraded further as it doesn’t need to comply with GT3 regulations. Changes were focused on the cranktrain, camshafts, induction line, intercoolers, turbochargers, fuel system, transmission, and exhaust.

As a result, the V6 generates 720 hp (537 kW / 730 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission equipped with a carbon clutch and revised gear ratios. This makes the GT Modificata 128 hp (96 kW / 130 PS) more powerful than the GT3 Evo, although it can’t match the combined output of 868 hp (647 kW / 880 PS) from the electrified setup of the road-legal 296 Speciale.
Still, with a dry weight of 1,330 kg (2,932 lbs), the GT Modificata is 80 kg (176 lbs) lighter than the lightest version of the Speciale. Furthermore, it get a much sharper chassis setup and more aggressive aero components tailored for track use.

According to Ferrari, the 296 GT Modificata can lap the Fiorano track three seconds faster than the 296 GT3 Evo. While we don’t know the exact figure, it most likely beats the 1 minute and 19 seconds of the 296 Speciale.
Ferrari has not disclosed pricing for the 296 GT Modificata, but it’s not like everyone has the right to buy it. The track-only supercar is exclusively available to select clientele of the Club Competizioni GT programme. Each buyer gains access to two years of competition and track-side support, including 12 rounds at famous circuits around the world.
