Why mess with what already works? Its compact design and low mounting position keep the centre of gravity down and the chassis sharp. Ferrari has tweaked the gearbox ratios based on two seasons\u2019 worth of data to improve torque delivery across the rev range\u2014especially where it matters most: corner exits and high-speed straights.<\/p>\n<p>Aerodynamic changes are at the heart of the Evo&#8217;s transformation. While the overall downforce levels remain within GT3 regulations, Ferrari focused on making the car more stable in dirty air\u2014like when you&#8217;re tucked behind another car at 180 mph. The front splitter, underbody, diffuser, and bodywork have all been revised for cleaner airflow and improved load consistency. You&#8217;ll notice a redesigned rear wing with a slick quick-adjust mechanism (borrowed from the LMGT3), and a pair of new air intakes on the bonnet that not only add attitude but improve brake and cabin cooling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-888798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-3-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of cooling\u2014track performance doesn\u2019t just rely on downforce. Ferrari has redesigned airflow to increase front brake cooling by over 20%, thanks to revised ducts and dynamic bonnet intakes. Even the steering pump benefits from better airflow, with new NACA ducts underneath helping to manage temps during long stints. Some upgrades come straight from the 296 LMGT3, Ferrari\u2019s FIA WEC contender. The rear wheel arches are reshaped to accommodate a wider range of tire types, while the mirrors\u2014often overlooked\u2014have been refined for better visibility and reduced vibration. It\u2019s all about making the car more adaptable across the global GT racing landscape.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-888800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-5-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Evo features updated suspension geometry front and rear, aimed at improving reliability and delivering a more connected feel between axles.

Existing 296 GT3 teams won&#8217;t be left behind\u2014Ferrari is offering a full upgrade kit, so everyone can benefit from the Evo&#8217;s improvements without a full chassis swap. The 296 GT3 Evo isn\u2019t a revolution\u2014it\u2019s a smart, aggressive evolution of a proven winner. By refining airflow, sharpening response, and leaning on feedback from real-world racing, Ferrari has made one of GT3\u2019s best cars even better. Expect to see it leading the pack, again, when it hits the grid in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-888801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ferrari-296-GT3-Evo-6-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three years after the original 296 GT3 debuted at Spa-Francorchamps, Ferrari has returned to the iconic Belgian circuit to unveil its next evolution: the 296 GT3 Evo.
