Ferrari 296 GT3 - FIRST LOOK (Technical Analysis) 

all that aero around the wheel arches looks so aggressive, i love it

I did not expect such a modular design. Which makes sense looking at the changes in GT racing for WEC (GT3 coming)

prolly the best looking car ferrari have made since the 458. hope its as fast as it looks

My son was (still is) the Crew Chief for the 296 GT3 fielded by Risi Competizione in the 24 Hours ofDaytona. Unfortunately, they only made it halfway through the race due to damage to the floorboard after one of the GTD cars collided with the #62 car. I have to agree with others that this is one of the cleaner looking designs Ferrari has put forth in the GT classes in a while. Let's hope that is all the bad luck they will experience this year.

can'r wait to see what AF Corse, Iron Lynx, and Risi can do with these new machines

In my opinion ferrari is clearly making this car to be a really good endurance car for the new gt3 category for the wec. Do you think other gt3 manufacturers will be giving updates to their current cars or build a new car in this style?

Another thing about this car is that the transmission is transversally located unlike in the road 296. Edit: you already said it at 4:20 i just realized

Its wicked. More compact and the 6 cylinders are perfect. Aim to win!

5,000 psi is impressive for a gas engine. That’s just at or below most modern diesel engines idle rail pressure.

Interesting to see a racing car with a focus on something that doesn't really affect lap time, which makes sense considering it's an area not regulated by BoP. (to my knowledge at least)

So much better than the previous GT3 designs. Well reviewed.

Great analysis as always. A hot-v V6 is a very elegant and compact engine layout - also see the McLaren Artura. Originally, Aston Martin also planned to have this layout (TM01 engine). It's a pity there will be no serial production at Aston Martin.

A pretty looklike Ferrari LM 250 design, a noble V6, aluminium shape, the many smart technical aspects you describe, my favorite GT3 car.

Engine architecture is very similar to early 80’ F1 engine (126c) down to the turbo’s in the vee

2:50 I bet these blanked squares will be replaced by additional endurance lights for night races.

Making one in a game, very helpful learning some of the intricacies. Design is pretty interesting and didn't know the center of the front splitter was raised for better airflow. Very interesting.

Thanks for the nice content.

I think it looks like a very modern car design, and other manufacturers will be wanting to catch up. I imagine the BOP will have to handicap it highly, considering most cars are evo's on the grid. I'm sure Ferarri produced the 296 with the sole aim of a new GT3 platform for the next few years.

Are you sure about the direction of the vortex rotation on the dive planes and splitter side plates?

I still like more old 458 GT3,more smooth design and insane engine sound.

Why are all car manufacturers not making cars this modular?

This is a gt1/hypercar in disquise

What about the electric engine and batteries of the 296GTB ?

Should sound and perform as good as it looks.

Wow wow wow

#BSporte!🚘

So Ferrari is recycling the same engine setup they used on their 126C F1 engine from the early 1980's, hopefully they built it with a stronger block that that engine had.

the engine being perfectly balanced it proly has no fly wheel either right?

0:22 the true successor would be the F8 Tributo, that yhey choose to not use

A Ferrari racing car with a transversal gearbox (EDIT from "engine")? Where have I heard that before ;) ?

I’m too dumb for this

Im wating for mercedes come back in wec race

GT3 car going to be down 300 hp to the road car

When you say Ferrari you mean Oreca??

Car looks like a more beefed up version of the 4C Gr.3 in GT7

doesnt it look like the amg one?

I like the thoughts that went into the car. But I do miss the 488 look and the 458 sound. Both, in looks and sound, I'm rather disappointed in the 296.

hoping they stay away from the matte pink color used on their F1 cars

Shame it went to a V6
