Summary
- Ferrari reveals 296 GT3 Evo at Spa for 2026 debut
- Features upgraded aero, cooling, and suspension
- Available as an upgrade kit for current 296 GT3 owners
Ferrari has revealed the 296 GT3 Evo, an evolution of its successful GT3 and LMGT3 platforms, set to race in the 2026 season. The car was unveiled at Spa-Francorchamps, three years after the original 296 GT3 made its debut at the same circuit.
Developed from two years of racing data and customer feedback, the Evo improves aerodynamic stability, setup flexibility and component reliability. It retains the same 3L twin-turbo V6 but gains a revised gear ratio setup for better torque delivery. The bodywork has been overhauled to reduce sensitivity in turbulent air and enhance cooling, particularly for the front brakes.
A key visual update includes dual bonnet intakes and a redesigned rear wing with a quick-adjust system. Suspension kinematics have also been reworked to improve handling and simplify pit setups. The cockpit benefits from a stronger air conditioning system to aid driver comfort in endurance conditions.
Ferrari plans to offer the 296 GT3 Evo as an upgrade kit for current 296 GT3 owners, underlining its modular design ethos. The model builds on a platform that has already claimed over 140 wins and 405 podiums across 343 races. The 296 GT3 Evo is positioned to push Ferrari’s GT program even further in global competition.
