The 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano, a marvel of engineering and design, is set to make a grand appearance at the Kissimmee 2024 auction. This automotive masterpiece, with just 273 miles on the odometer, epitomizes the pinnacle of hybrid technology and Ferrari's innovative design ethos.
At the heart of this breathtaking machine lies a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V-6 engine, working in harmony with the MGU-K plug-in hybrid system. Together, they unleash a staggering 819 horsepower, propelling the car from 0-60 MPH in a mere 2.5 seconds, with 100 MPH reached in 4.8 seconds. The engine's "Hot-Vee" architecture, with its exhausts positioned inside the V and intakes on the outside, not only optimizes performance but also contributes to the car's distinctive Ferrari roar.
The Assetto Fiorano package, a $41,956 option, elevates the 296 GTB's performance with Multimatic shocks, a revised aerodynamic setup, and lightweight components. Its striking appearance is accentuated by an Argento Nurburgring stripe and a large central exhaust outlet. The car's speed-sensitive vertical spoiler and Brembo carbon ceramic disc brakes, with impressively sized front and rear rotors, ensure both high-speed stability and powerful stopping capabilities.
Internally, the 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano showcases a fusion of luxury and racing spirit. Its full Alcantara racing seats, extensive carbon fiber detailing, and a digital instrument cluster create an immersive driving experience. The steering wheel-mounted Manettino dial offers four driving modes, adapting the car's performance to the driver's preference.
This particular model, finished in Rosso Corsa with Scuderia shields and over $150,000 in optional extras, pays homage to the classic 250 LM. Its diamond-cut five-spoke alloy wheels, carbon-fiber instrument cluster, and Ferrari Manettino further contribute to its allure.
