The new Ferrari 296 Speciale has been engineered to deliver one of the most advanced aerodynamic packages ever seen on a rear-wheel drive road car from Maranello, generating 435kg of downforce at 250km/h, a 20 per cent increase over the 296 GTB Coupe .

Speaking about the development of the 296 Speciale's aero package, Ferrari Aerodynamics Performance Engineer Marco Milanetti said the goal was not only more grip, but greater confidence.

"We managed to give 20 per cent more downforce to this car," he said.
