Last month, Ferrari revealed the lighter, more powerful version of its entry-level mid-engined supercar. The 296 Speciale is powered by an upgraded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. It not only makes more power, but it even sounds a lot better than the standard 296 GTB.
@varryx_ got a chance to get up close with the 296 Speciale. He has shared a video of the Ferrari V6 firing up and revving. It has the typical sound of a turbocharged engine. It has a deep, bassy note but also pops and crackles.
The revised engine features titanium con rods, new pistons and a lighter crankshaft. The internal combustion engine churns out 690 hp, while the upgraded electric motor puts out 177 hp, taking the combined output from 818 hp to 867 hp.
How much I loved hearing the Ferrari 296 Speciale roar to life! The deep, bassy notes and exhilarating pops and crackles truly showcase the engineering marvel behind its upgraded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. It’s a symphony for car enthusiasts that underscores Ferrari’s commitment to performance and sound.
