With a time of 6:58.7, the Ferrari 296 GTB becomes one of just 15 cars to ever (officially) lap the Nürburgring in less than 7 minutes car auto cars
, Ferrari does not frequently lend its vehicles out for hot laps like these, meaning that there is no lap time for, say, the SF90, which could conceivably go even faster than the V6-powered 296 GTB.is no slouch. Thanks to its hybrid system, it makes a whopping 819 hp . That helps the rear-wheel-drive monster hit 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 205 mph .
Meanwhile, the Assetto Fiorano handling package adds no horsepower, but it does equip the car with Multimatic dampers, carbon body parts, a composite rear window and the Michelin tires. Those mods amount to a weight saving of 27 lbs . A further 15.4 lbs can be removed with the carbon fiber wheels, which appear to have been fitted here.
It’s hardly a surprise, then, that the Ferrari 296 GTB is capable of setting an amazing lap at one of the most famous tracks on earth. We only hope that this will encourage Ferrari to send more of its cars round the legendary circuit.
