Dusseldorf-based tuner, DMC, laid its hands on the Ferrari 296 GTB, extracting 888 HP from the hybrid, and fitting it with many other goodies!<\/p>\n

DMC is a specialized German tuner with a handful of creations under its belt involving Porsches<\/a>, Mercedes-Benzes<\/a>, and Lamborghinis<\/a>. Notably, the brand became an instant hit after showcasing the striking ‘Molto Veloce’ edition of the Aventador<\/a> in 2012. In an effort to be impartial, DMC also took on Ferrari’s<\/a> hybrid supercar, the 296 GTB.<\/p>\n

The 296 GTB marked a significant change in the Modena outlet by introducing a brand-new hybrid engine layout. It comprises a 3.0-liter twin-turbo 120\u00b0 V6 combined with an MGU-K and a single electric motor (167 hp) to generate a mighty 818 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, it comes with an 8-speed F1-inspired DCT for super-quick shifts.<\/p>\n

However, DMC decided it wasn’t enough and chose to go the extra mile. Firstly, it bumped up the power to a sweet figure of 888 hp via an engine tune<\/a>. Notably, it fitted the GTB Squalo with an updated electronic control module, altering the ignition and injection and boosting the turbo. The change allows it to sprint from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0-124 mph in 7.4 seconds, and reach a top speed of 192 mph!<\/p>\n

DMC also equipped the Ferrari 296 GTB Squalo with a shark-inspired aero package. The front-end retains the classic Ferrari design with a turtle-snap-like bumper and carbon fiber lip sections below for higher downforce.<\/p>\n

Manufactured using lightweight and high-performance CF parts, the add-ons accentuate the sportiness; the side skirts attach to the car’s existing body panels and give it a lower stance, while the rear features an inverted airplane wing and lip to aid in downforce. Customers also can choose between 21-inch and 22-inch forged alloys from PUR Wheels to top off the overall design.<\/p>\n

Other enhancements include the fitment of DMC Sport springs that stiffens the suspension set-up and lowers the 296 GTB Squalo by 35 mm for a better feel. Meanwhile, the interior uses a combination of leather and Alcantara, but customers can also personalize using other exotic materials.<\/p>\n

Prices are yet to be disclosed, though you could opt for a 3D digital NFT online if the real deal is out of budget (most likely)!<\/p>\n
