2026 Ferrari 296 Speciale

The Ferrari 296 Speciale is the track-optimised derivative of the 296 platform, taking the already extreme GTB architecture and reducing weight while adding a dedicated aerodynamic package developed in close collaboration with Ferrari's GT racing programme. This 2026 example arrives in Launch Specification — a curated factory configuration reserved for the earliest production allocations — finished in Yellow, one of the more visually arresting choices in Ferrari's current palette and one that suits the aggressive bodywork particularly well.

Powered by the now-familiar 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 working in concert with an axial-flux electric motor mounted on the rear axle, total system output reaches 880 bhp with a 205 mph top speed. The Speciale's engineering focus, however, is lateral rather than linear: the aerodynamic load, the recalibrated chassis, and the reduced kerb weight are designed to transform lap times rather than top-speed runs. With just 20 delivery miles recorded, this is effectively an unregistered car — a 2026 (26-plate) machine that remains functionally new.

First UK-bound allocation examples are genuinely scarce; Ferrari's approach to limited derivatives has always been heavily managed through its dealer network, and the Speciale is no exception. Offered here at £499,990 as a single-owner car arriving in June, this represents a viable route to securing an early example without the extended wait that has characterised allocations for every comparable Ferrari in recent memory.
