Ferrari has unveiled the 296 Challenge, which will make its debut in the 2024 season of the Ferrari Challenge, at the Mugello Circuit during the Finali Mondiali. The new car is the ninth model fielded by Ferrari in the history of its single-make championship, which is now in its 32nd season.

At the heart of the 2024 Ferrari 296 Challenge is the familiar twin-turbo, 3.0-liter engine that does away with the hybrid component, much like the 296 GT3 launched for the 2023 season. By not having to abide by strict rules mandatory for road cars, the engineers uncorked the V6, and it now pumps out a massive 690 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. In the road car, the six-cylinder mill churns “only” 663 hp but the overall output is much higher thanks to the electric motor, providing a combined punch of 830 hp.

With 234 horsepower per liter, Ferrari is proud to say the engine delivers record power for its segment. The new 296 Challenge is the first race car to use a 120-degree V6 in the history of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli. With great power comes great responsibility, which is why the track-only machine boasts carbon-ceramic brakes, an upgraded ABS system derived from the 296 GTB, and new Pirelli 19-inch tires specifically developed for this application.

Then there’s the aerodynamic package, helping the 296 Challenge generate more than 870 kilograms of downforce at 155 mph, a record number for a race car developed for the single-make series.

Ferrari will show off its latest track beast in Italy at the Mugello Circuit between October 24 and 30 when the Finali Mondiali is scheduled to take place.
