Ferrari 296 GTB / Nordschleife 6.58,70 min / First Sub 7 Ferrari / HOT LAP sport auto 

Misha, that isnt the full lap right? 200m missing. But its a really good One, congrats to Ferrari.

@@12345678939218 Sport Auto configuration is 20.6 km.

Misha what is your personal record and on what car?

Seems like the sf90 you drove was much more stable overall on the track and much faster accelerating out of the slow corners and had no such understeer - it was probably due to the fact that the sf90 has awd, wider tires front and rear and more aero. Or maybe the suspension alignment on this 296 was off as on all Ferraris from factory

One hell of an ugly looking Ferrari! Shame on you, Ferrari!

And that's just the gtb when the special version comes out it'll be mental

@@clkgtr12 Even more mental is what the LaFerrari successor will be.

That's because they're tiny and pedals only adjust so much.. Ever see a 6 year old child steering while seated on someone's lap? (I don't know if that's true, but, what the heck).

@@Fester_ nope, it's because sitting upright and close to the steering wheel gives you the most control.

The basic rule is thumb is you stretch your arm with your shoulder touching the seat and your wrist should touch the top of the steering wheel.

@@Fester_ sorry mate, not right there at all.

Have you seen the height of the driver in the end! That's why he is so close. Thank me later!

Wouldn’t say that, look at how much steering lock and tyre squeal there’s so much understeer there. Ferrari and McLaren always do this put skinny front tyres on makes the car understeer more for the average buyer. Still an impressive lap though.

@@jpracing893that’s because of engine layout… and skinnier tires give more steering feel, more finesse let’s say. Those cars have inherently great balance and don’t need very wide front tires

⁠@@poltorakmdracing4595but clearly less grip. There’s a reason the lap record holders ( Porsche and AMG) use 265+ tyres because they actually perform. Ferrari , Lamborghini, McLaren all use 235/45 because they know the majority of owners won’t know how to drive so understeer is safe. GT3 Ferrari 296 for example use 300MM front because they actually perform. Feel is nothing when all you feel is understeer which from this lap is abundant mid corner.

At least 5-7 seconds faster than the GTB

yeah, the 296 i has a very good platform.the car looks dope with rear spoiler, hope they bring it in the sportiest version

probably wont call it the pista. they always change names

​@@defnotatrollwish they just made a 296 gt3 stradale or some sort. That car was crazy good in 24 hr nurburgring

That thing is an overweight whale

Because hes dont have rear wing and big tires.

I’m surprised, how is this car faster around the ring than the SF90?

The acceleration of this car is insane. 296GTB was faster than SF90 and 765LT from a roll.

@@beanapprentice1687 what are you talking about? The sf90 was never clocked even slightly properly around the NR. Around the small Fiorano the sf90 is the whole 2 sec quicker than a 296gtb. And if you’ve seen Misha’s lap in the sf90 with a passenger, it was much more stable and faster out of the slow stuff than this one due to awd, wider tires front and rear and more aero

@@Luke-cb3ly it’s marginally faster in a roll, not a big deal, they all run 100-200 in a 4.3 area depending on the conditions. I’ve seen a stock 765lt was measured 4.0sec with Draggy on a colder weather. But in the real life streets and out of slower stuff the sf90 is definitely faster due to awd

I wouldnt say its not a track car. Its a Ferrari, Ferraris arent daily cars, they are cars meant to be driven like this. What is a GT, or a daily car is just a Ferrari way to distinguish their cars from each other. Although to be fair, Ferraris track cars are not street legal cars, like the 599XX.

@@emiliospowerballer1441 It depends on the ferrari model we are talking about. The 296 in this form is not a track oriented car. Its is meant more as a daily gran turismo driver rather than a track focused one. Which is why Ferrari will release the "Pista" version of it in due course like it did with other models. Even these Pista ones are not hardcore track cars like the McLaren Senna for example. Ferrari doesnt use rear wings and big spoilers etc, not often at least. It prefers a clean design. It is indeed impressive for that 296 gtb with RW drive to manage such a time. And I would argue that the time could be better as there were a few occasion where there were small errors.

@@elwingy I see your point, but personally, it's just something that I disagree with, for a few reasons. 1) Ferrari produces high end sports cars. So the justification that they are not 'track' enough seems absurd to me. But I do, absolutely agree with you that the cars they test on the Nurburgring can be a lot more 'track focused'. But if you consider that the 296GTB produces 830PS, while its slower than a Lamborghini Huracan, it seems to me that Ferrari doesn't do enough to be competitive. Rather, because it sells 'exclusivity' it focuses more on sales volume than competitive performance 2) For an 830PS sports car, the 296GTB is relatively slow. However, I'm certain just like you, that if Ferrari cherry picks a few things including the driver, a 6:50ish isn't unreliastic. But also keep in mind, the flag sports car of the Ferrari, the SF90 has not been tested on the Nurburgring. I reckon it probably could beat the Lamborghini Aventador. I get what you are saying, but beyond 700PS, a car just can not be a normal daily, or even a GT car. I love Ferrari, I know everything there is to know about Ferrari, but I can see through their BS sometimes. Their marketing department is really good, but in reality, they only sell exclusivity with the idea that if you dont like our products, go somewhere else

​@@emiliospowerballer1441 You have a very free definition of a track car. By your definition every fast sports car is a track car. That's like putting a Porsche Turbo in the same brackets with the GT3 rs. Yes, turbo is also fast on track, but it's not a track car. Also, why did you pick 700 hp as a boundary? Would an 800 hp bentley not be a gt car? It's a track car because it's powerful? Can't be driven daily because it's powerful? Or driven gently on long trips? Cmon man have some common sense. This Ferrari is not a track car, it's a supercar that's fast on track. Like many other supercars which are not track cars.

@@emiliospowerballer1441 I am sorry but I do not understand why you seem to contradict yourself. Let me explain: 1) You say 296GTB is slower than a Huracan... yet you seem to forget that you are not talking about the Normal Huracan version, but the Performante one. And you specifically use Nurburgring as the only metric here, which is also not correct. You seem to judge cars basis a simple number, horsepower. It doesnt work like that. Its not just horsepower. Its power to weight ratio, its set up of the car, its tyres, its gearing ratio, its aerodynamics its a ton of things. 2) This is the normal 296gtb version. It is absurd to call that car slow. It is of course usable on track and it offers a great experience, but it is not track FOCUSED car. Permormante is a track focused version of the Huracan. I mean it is literally marketed as such... you are comparing apples to oranges. Other than that the 296gtb is a crazy fast car, in terms of straighline acceleration it is one of the fastest cars out there. But this version is not the "track" version. Even track version of these cars like the Pista or Performante are a joke compared to actual PROPER track versions of these cars like the Huracan GT3 evo or the 296 GT3. Hell an old ferrari 430 gt3 will absolutely destroy the Performante and the 296 pista version on any track out there...

It has a Ferrari press car package.

@@AP13PAF package isn’t a full blown performance package though. Subtle tweaks. Imagine a 296 PISTA or speciale whatever with ACTUAL aero tweaks

Should be out in 2025, but it'd be more "pista" than GT3

The GT3 RS did a 6.54,99 min lap time in Sport Auto, with the same driver. This is less than 4 seconds quicker than the 296 GTB, which is a base version of the entry level Ferrari.. Being so close to the most hardcore, track-focused Porsche, in their home turf, is quite an accomplishment!!

@@zix_zix_zixentry level Ferrari? No. This car is a lot more expensive than a GT3 RS too, and has 330 more HP. They are two totally different cars, and shouldn’t really be compared

@@mikemoggerson6651 Yes, they're different. And yes, the 296 GTB is more expensive but I would say it is fairly priced for a Ferrari, given that it is a completely new platform which is loaded with innovations and new technology, that costed a lot of money to develop. I am not sure that I can say the same about the GT3 RS.. no matter how quick it is at the racetrack.. Moreover, IT IS the entry-level Ferrari model and, in specific, the base version of that model. Ferrari will no doubt develop other more track-focused versions of the 296 in the future. Then, there's their flagship model, the SF90; a track-focused version of that model (probably named "SF90 LM") will be unveiled in a few months. I am pretty sure all those cars will be a lot faster than the 296 GTB on the racetrack.

@@zix_zix_zix the Roma is the entry level Ferrari. Not the 296 LMFAO. A simple google search would fix your confusion

@@zix_zix_zixwill be unveiled tomorrow…

Yes but slowly than Aventador which was made 10 years ago, and gt2 rs

​@@Maximilian745yeah but this did it without any aero at all, no wings plus this isn't a track focused version, this is just the regular GTB and a magazine did it not the manufacturer itself which makes it more impressive :)

@@Maximilian745 Not slower than the GT2 RS; in Sport Auto testing, with the same driver, the two cars had roughly the same lap time. And the Aventador was an SVJ (i.e. most track-focused version of their flagship model) and it was a factory official test, not a Sport Auto test. The SVJ debuted in 2019 btw; not 10 years ago.

Gt3 6min 55, gt3 rs 6min 45 avec moins de puissance. La 296 gtb n est pas impressionnante.

​@@mugen2401 "La 296 gtb n est pas impressionnante"??? First of all, the lap times you mentioned are from official Porsche conducted tests - NOT Sport Auto tests. In Sport Auto tests, the 296 GTB is FASTER than the GT3 and very close to GT 3RS in lap times. Actually the 296 GTB was even faster than the GT3 MR in Sport Auto's Nordschleife lap (GT3 MR did 6.59 mins).

You can always compensate for lack of corner speed with MOAR POWAH which is what's happening here. The minimum speeds in faster corners are extremely low, below regular people driving boring GT3s but then it accelerates so quickly it still does a good lap time.

@@JCviggen1 As Enzo Ferrari said: "Aerodynamics is for people who don't know how to build engines"

@@AndrewLewer90that sounds American before all else. All straights no corners.

Frikadelli, Frikadelli....🎉

der "schlägt" nicht durch sonder schleift nur etwas

Überzeugt mich nicht. Das schafft heutzutage jeder Porsche (ab Carrera aufwärts) und der 918 vor 10 Jahren ebenso.

@@SuperGeronimo999 oh....weiß das Ferrari? Sie werden den Verkauf wahrscheinlich umgehend einstellen.... Wie Schade 😦

@@SuperGeronimo999Und La Ferrari hat dein 918 schlafen gelegt!😂😂😂

488 Pista was already capable of well under 7 min judging by how its laptimes compared to other car on other tracks. It was over 3 seconds per lap faster than a 911 GT2 RS at Magni Cours F1 track driven by the same GT3 pro race driver on the same day and same exact tires. Over 5 seconds faster than 911 GT3 RS and 4 seconds faster than Huracan Performante. Ferrari just doesn't care about bragging about lap times because they realize it's irrelevant since most owners can't drive the cars to anywhere near the limits and they tune their cars to be fun to drive on the road, which is why they're so soft. But they're still extremely capable on track, in fact, they're kind of a benchmark for others.

ferrari just better

It has 830 HP for 1470 KG Its kinda normal

@@AB-fr2ei this isn’t a track focused car though like some of the other competitors

@@AB-fr2eiweight is more. The figure is dry weight

Its normal

Low center of gravity was definitely very important. It also helped the 296 GT3 to win the 2023 24 Hours of Nürburgring and the 499P to win the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.

I think it can easily go below 6:50

​@Tuatara Aggressor that's the track oriented stock model, there'll be a specials version

Sf90 is slower than gtb and heavier for the track

@@alekosalekadis6095 nah man sf90 just better than 296

@@emirkaracaoglu go watch carwow 296gtb vs sf90. Then kiss me.

Not the first Ferrari but the first road legal Ferrari with a lap time of under 7 min at Nordschleife.

Тихие украинцы, наконец, освободят вас от тех мафии, которая командует вам, так что вы можете насладиться тем, чего никогда не пробовали, свобода, и вы наконец -то можете увидеть Ferrari

The GT3 of this car won the 24h of Nurbungring ❤

The AF package comes with fixed DSSV multmatic dampers like the Camaro zl1 1le and ford GT as well as many race cars. These dampers however are not actively adjustable/adaptable like the magnetic dampers so many Ferraris use and thus wouldn't have the bumpy road mode. Edit: wow yeah it does bottom out pretty hard esp at the 4:35 mark.

@@memememine1 It seemed to have slight understeer but then later the car bottomed out, it undloaded the rear wheels and he had snap oversteer. It would be interesting to see what the standard car would do on bumpy road setting and perhaps traction control off, but leaving stability control on. Not me driving it obviously ...

​@@zakelwethey use small front tires compered whit other car

Shmee did a full lap of the Nordschleife in qualifying mode in his 296 and had full battery left.

Wenn man es anschaut weiss man auch warum!

The Lamborghini Huracán Performante did a 7.07,99 min lap time, in the Sport Auto test, with the same driver. The only faster lap time was an official Lamborghini conducted test, during which it did a 6:52 min. Therefore, the 296 GTB is faster.

@@zix_zix_zix Then say the same for the aventador hahaha
