Developmental Ferrari 296-Derived Car Spotted at Fiorano Test
Recent testing at Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit has revealed a new, undisclosed vehicle believed to be based on the 296 platform. This development car, captured in images and video, is expected to serve purposes beyond competitive racing, joining Ferrari’s successful Corse Clienti program.
Key Insights
- Purpose: Sources confirm that the car is designed strictly for track use and will not compete in races.
- Specifications: It does not resemble any road-legal competition variant, nor is it associated with the XX Programme initiated in 2005.
