Ferrari 296 Speciale A

The Ferrari 296 Speciale A reaches 60 mph in 2.51 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 9.78 s, tripping the lights at 146.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.63 s and the eighth mile in 6.41 s, reaching 100 mph in 4.78 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 296 Speciale A

The 2026 Ferrari 296 Speciale A is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,460 kg with 868 bhp, which works out at 594 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 594 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.63 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 71st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 6th quickest of the 81 Ferraris here. Its 146.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ferrari 296 Speciale A is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
