When a name carries the weight of history, expectation is inevitable. For Ferrari, the “Speciale” badge has always signified something extra: a sharper chassis, lighter weight, stronger performance—and, above all, a driving experience that stirs the soul. The new Ferrari 296 Speciale delivers all of that and then some. Legacy: Why “Speciale” Matters The “Speciale” moniker is reserved for Ferrari models that push harder than the everyday car—think aggressive aerodynamics, race-bred hardware, and a focus on driving purity. With the 296 Speciale, Ferrari has taken its mid-engine hybrid platform and refined it for the enthusiast who wants more than just…
And the results are all positive. The latest Performance is the most sophisticated Model Y yet in the chassis department; body roll is well contained through the corners, with just enough to make the driver aware of what’s going on in the sweetly-balanced chassis. Grip is excellent and while the stability control system can be a little restrictive, a new ‘Reduced’ mode allows for a little more slip. This means that if you get greedy with the throttle at the exit of a corner, that 454bhp is not averse to pushing the car from its rear axle – even in…
They’ll more likely be cooing over the quality of the interior. The finish is first-rate; the S uses more Alcantara than previous models to go along with its more driver-focused theme, although a full leather seat option can still be chosen if customers prefer. The front seats are superb, with a driving position that feels more like a jacked-up Vantage than a traditional SUV, yet there’s still a great view out. By modern standards, the touchscreen seems refreshingly modest, too, while the centre console is festooned with physical buttons that, with a little acclimatisation, can be found by feel. For…

Then there’s the dual-clutch gearbox, which is one of the very best of its type we’ve tried. In terms of its responsiveness when pressing on and the smoothness when shuffling around at low speeds, it feels not far off the sophistication of a Ferrari 296’s ’box, which is the slickest dual-clutch system we’ve experienced. Even the carbon brakes – often a set-up that can seem grabby and short of feedback – felt great here. The pedal is firm and reassuring, and delivers superb stopping power. We’d need to sample the E-Ray on faster, more challenging roads or a racetrack to…

Safety on the other hand has long been a Citroen strong point, but this model is still too new to have an official Euro NCAP rating.

Italian automaker Ferrari has unveiled its newest bespoke masterpiece — the Ferrari SC40. Created for a single client through the brand’s exclusive Special Projects division, this one-off supercar fuses cutting-edge hybrid performance with design cues that pay homage to one of Ferrari’s most celebrated legends: the 1987 F40. Heritage Meets Innovation Ferrari describes the SC40 as “a model with its own distinct personality” rather than a literal remake of the F40. Still, visual cues abound: the long low nose, short overhang, high fixed rear wing, smoked-Lexan louvres over the engine bay, and prominent intercooler intakes—reimagined versions of the classic NACA ducts…
