This is the new Ferrari 296 Speciale, the lighter, more powerful, more focused version of Ferrari’s mid-engined supercar.
How powerful and light? How does 868bhp and 1410kg (dry) sound? That’s 49bhp more and 60kg less than the regular 296 GTB. It’s the most-powerful rear-drive model the company currently makes.
This £360,000 supercar’s 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 makes 690bhp even without hybrid assistance, which it gets to add urgent initial throttle response and top end power.
