Designed for downforce
4 Vehicle Dynamics
Engineered for confidence
The dynamic development of the 296 GTB aimed to increase the car’s performance, provide top-of-class driving fun, and improve the usability of its performance and hybrid layout. A range of new components or features has been developed, such as the first-ever ‘ABS evo’ controller and grip estimator integrated with the EPS. The usability of performance is critical on the 296 GTB: for example, electric driving in eDrive mode enables the car to reach a speed of 135 km/h without the aid of the internal combustion engine.
In the Hybrid position, the internal combustion engine supports the electric motor only when higher performance is required. Stopping distances on dry surfaces have been significantly shortened by the new ‘ABS evo’ and its integration with the new 6w-CDS sensor, ensuring greater repeatability of the braking action.

7 ASSETTO FIORANO
Inspired by racing
Customers wishing to make the most of the car’s dynamic characteristics, especially during track days, can select the 296 GTB in the exclusive Assetto Fiorano set-up, achieving performance improvements thanks to its aerodynamics and weight reduction. These include Multimatic dampers derived from GT racing, carbon fibre aids on the front bumper, and the use of lightweight materials such as carbon fibre.
The structure of some components has been totally redesigned to save more than 12 kg. Also available, only for the Assetto Fiorano set-up, is the ultra-light rear screen in Lexan® and a livery inspired by the 250 LM. This starts with the front bumper, whose background embraces the central grille and outlines its contours, continuing first on the bonnet and then longitudinally up to the roof and rear spoiler.
