As promised a few weeks ago, March was the month in which Ferrari would show us what its new GT3 would be like.
In Maranello they were speaking and the sketches of the 296 that we will see on the track as soon as the construction is completed by the men of the Prancing Horse and the Oreca collaborators can only leave you speechless.
For now, the Ferrari Red leaves room for an even more aggressive black, but there is no doubt that this racing car equipped with a 6-cylinder engine (but not with the electrical system that the 296 road bike brings with it) will have a very difficult task.
Yes, because from 2023 the newborn car of the Modena-based company will have to replace the 488 GT3, which has reached Evolution 2020 and with many triumphs and titles posted on the bulletin board from 2016 to today.

“This model takes up the legacy of the 488 GT3 which, in its standard and Evo 2020 configurations, has so far obtained 107 titles from the debut race, with 429 wins out of 770 starts, extraordinary numbers that make it the most successful car in history. of the Prancing Horse “, reads the official note.
There will also be great curiosity about the 296 GT3 knowing that it is the car with which Ferrari will be able to race in the most important GT categories and races, including the 24h of Le Mans from 2024.
And here we await, with equal anxiety, to know what Ferrari’s Hypercar will be like, which in a few months will begin development tests for the return to competition of the prototypes.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy the 296 GT3 with all the features of the racing car that make it even more beautiful and interesting, hoping to be able to achieve as many joys as was the 1963 250 LM, which inspired the production GTB.
“This car achieved important successes such as that of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965 (the last overall victory of the Maranello company in this race), also enjoying great success among the private teams”.
Once the model is completed at the Oreca headquarters in Signes, the first tests for development and debut in the championships will start.
