The New Ferrari 296 Speciale V6 (2026) - Interior, Sound and Drive

The 2026 Ferrari 296 Speciale arrives as a more special version of the Ferrari 296GTB and along with increased power, Ferrari meticulously shaved weight and added downforce to create the Speciale. It “only” has a V-6, but this is the most powerful rear-wheel-drive road car Ferrari’s ever built.

The plug-in hybrid architecture is unchanged from that of the regular 296, but the 3.0-liter V-6 and e-motor mounted between the engine and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission now produce a combined peak total of 869 horsepower, an increase of 6.2 percent, with the steering wheel’s Manettino switched to Qualify mode. That’s down to a 13-hp increase in the output of the e-motor, which now produces 177 hp (torque remains the same at 232 lb-ft) and bumps of 37 hp and 15 lb-ft in the output of the internal combustion engine, which now produces 691 hp at 8,000 rpm and 557 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm.

The Speciale engine also uses a new F1-derived knock-control system that is claimed to do a better job of keeping combustion closer to the maximum without risking engine meltdown. The knock, by the way, is sensed using the ionization current used by the spark plugs rather than by knock sensors mounted on the engine.

All told, these changes produce 959 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. That's a huge increase from the roughly 650 pounds of the base 296GTB and over 20 percent more than the 794 pounds with the Assetto Fiorano package. And this is achieved with basically no drag increase.

The Speciale will arrive in the U.S. in coupe form during the first quarter of 2026, with the Spider version coming about a quarter later. Our prices won't be announced until closer to availability, but in Italy, the base price is about $130K more than the regular 296. Ferrari has also said that it will absorb the 25 percent import tariff on this and other lower-cost models. We expect a base price around $500K.

Of course, if you want a Speciale, you're out of luck, because they are all sold out. Only existing Ferrari clients—defined as people who have purchased a new or used Ferrari in the past five years—were allowed to order one, and they all got the word via the jungle drums before we did.
