Ferrari 296 Challenge Says No To Hybrid, Yes To 700 Horsepower

The Ferrari 296 Challenge is based on the 296 GTB but without the hybrid assistance while the uncorked V6 engine produces 234 horsepower per liter.

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 700 horsepower and 546 pound-feet (740 Newton-meters) of torque. In the race 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.

It's the perfect new Ferrari Gr4 car for GT7.

That’s way too spicy for Gr.4. It would work better in Gr.3 IMO if we somehow got it over a Ferrari GTE/3 car.

Ferrari themselves doesn't seem to have anything that would fit into GT4/Gr.4 class short of nerfing their latest road cars (or their older Challenge cars like the F355 or 360 Modena). I did think of them using their front-engine grand tourers but these are as powerful as their midship sportscars.
