On the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ferrari unveiled the 296 Speciale with the Piloti Ferrari configuration, the latest expression of the Tailor Made programme. This exclusive configuration was designed to celebrate the successes achieved in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and to honour Ferrari client racing drivers. The official debut fittingly took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe, home of the legendary French endurance race scheduled for this weekend. The unique specification, reserved for clients involved in Ferrari’s official sporting activities — both competitive and non-competitive — is inspired by the 499P, overall winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 and 2024 in the Hypercar category. Designed for those who live the track firsthand, this special livery and finish reflects the identity of a community of client racing drivers who actively contribute to Ferrari’s racing legacy.
The Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale is offered in four racing-inspired colours: Rosso Scuderia, Blu Tour De France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nürburgring. The exterior livery, inspired by that of the 499P and finished in Giallo Modena, features a hand-painted WEC logo, the Italian flag on the front bumper, and a customizable number chosen by the client. The model unveiled at Le Mans bears the number 51, with which Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi claimed victory in 2023 — the year of Ferrari’s official return to top-tier endurance racing and the French race’s centenary.
The cabin features racing seats upholstered in thermoformed black Alcantara®, with inserts made from the same fireproof fabric used for the official drivers’ suits. The livery number is also reproduced on the interior carbon fibre, while the technical metal footwell surface can be customized upon request. Every detail is designed to reflect the driving experience and sense of belonging shared by those passionate about competition. The personalisation is completed by a carbon identification plaque and a carbon-fibre door sill with an exclusive customizable dedication.
