[@coolguy_2997]

Seems like the sf90 you drove was much more stable overall on the track and much faster accelerating out of the slow corners and had no such understeer - it was probably due to the fact that the sf90 has awd, wider tires front and rear and more aero. Or maybe the suspension alignment on this 296 was off as on all Ferraris from factory

Wouldn’t say that, look at how much steering lock and tyre squeal there’s so much understeer there. Ferrari and McLaren always do this put skinny front tyres on makes the car understeer more for the average buyer. Still an impressive lap though.

[@poltorakmdracing4595]

[@jpracing893]

⁠@@poltorakmdracing4595but clearly less grip. There’s a reason the lap record holders ( Porsche and AMG) use 265+ tyres because they actually perform. Ferrari , Lamborghini, McLaren all use 235/45 because they know the majority of owners won’t know how to drive so understeer is safe. GT3 Ferrari 296 for example use 300MM front because they actually perform. Feel is nothing when all you feel is understeer which from this lap is abundant mid corner.

[@MarMPB]

Sensational video! That Supertest is very important after the victory of the 296 GT3 on the 24H Nurburgring race. That’s an excellent performance for a sport car with such clean and subtle aerodynamics (no enormous rear wing, front spoiler, canards, extractors, etc.). The 296 GTB design is very elegant and streetable. As it is, it’s not a track car. I think that with some set up improvements it can do even better! 🏆

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

I wouldnt say its not a track car. Its a Ferrari, Ferraris arent daily cars, they are cars meant to be driven like this. What is a GT, or a daily car is just a Ferrari way to distinguish their cars from each other. Although to be fair, Ferraris track cars are not street legal cars, like the 599XX.

[@elwingy]

@@emiliospowerballer1441 It depends on the ferrari model we are talking about. The 296 in this form is not a track oriented car. Its is meant more as a daily gran turismo driver rather than a track focused one. Which is why Ferrari will release the "Pista" version of it in due course like it did with other models. Even these Pista ones are not hardcore track cars like the McLaren Senna for example. Ferrari doesnt use rear wings and big spoilers etc, not often at least. It prefers a clean design. It is indeed impressive for that 296 gtb with RW drive to manage such a time. And I would argue that the time could be better as there were a few occasion where there were small errors.

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

@@elwingy I see your point, but personally, it's just something that I disagree with, for a few reasons. 1) Ferrari produces high end sports cars. So the justification that they are not 'track' enough seems absurd to me. But I do, absolutely agree with you that the cars they test on the Nurburgring can be a lot more 'track focused'. But if you consider that the 296GTB produces 830PS, while its slower than a Lamborghini Huracan, it seems to me that Ferrari doesn't do enough to be competitive. Rather, because it sells 'exclusivity' it focuses more on sales volume than competitive performance 2) For an 830PS sports car, the 296GTB is relatively slow. However, I'm certain just like you, that if Ferrari cherry picks a few things including the driver, a 6:50ish isn't unreliastic. But also keep in mind, the flag sports car of the Ferrari, the SF90 has not been tested on the Nurburgring. I reckon it probably could beat the Lamborghini Aventador. I get what you are saying, but beyond 700PS, a car just can not be a normal daily, or even a GT car. I love Ferrari, I know everything there is to know about Ferrari, but I can see through their BS sometimes. Their marketing department is really good, but in reality, they only sell exclusivity with the idea that if you dont like our products, go somewhere else

[@MyRealName]

​@@emiliospowerballer1441 You have a very free definition of a track car. By your definition every fast sports car is a track car. That's like putting a Porsche Turbo in the same brackets with the GT3 rs. Yes, turbo is also fast on track, but it's not a track car. Also, why did you pick 700 hp as a boundary? Would an 800 hp bentley not be a gt car? It's a track car because it's powerful? Can't be driven daily because it's powerful? Or driven gently on long trips? Cmon man have some common sense. This Ferrari is not a track car, it's a supercar that's fast on track. Like many other supercars which are not track cars.

[@elwingy]

@@emiliospowerballer1441 I am sorry but I do not understand why you seem to contradict yourself. Let me explain: 1) You say 296GTB is slower than a Huracan... yet you seem to forget that you are not talking about the Normal Huracan version, but the Performante one. And you specifically use Nurburgring as the only metric here, which is also not correct. You seem to judge cars basis a simple number, horsepower. It doesnt work like that. Its not just horsepower. Its power to weight ratio, its set up of the car, its tyres, its gearing ratio, its aerodynamics its a ton of things. 2) This is the normal 296gtb version. It is absurd to call that car slow. It is of course usable on track and it offers a great experience, but it is not track FOCUSED car. Permormante is a track focused version of the Huracan. I mean it is literally marketed as such... you are comparing apples to oranges. Other than that the 296gtb is a crazy fast car, in terms of straighline acceleration it is one of the fastest cars out there. But this version is not the "track" version. Even track version of these cars like the Pista or Performante are a joke compared to actual PROPER track versions of these cars like the Huracan GT3 evo or the 296 GT3. Hell an old ferrari 430 gt3 will absolutely destroy the Performante and the 296 pista version on any track out there...

I compared the lap against the GT3RS. The GT3RS takes middle long corners about 30km/ph faster then the 296. Just before the straight part, the 296 is about 10 seconds behind. But it takes some much back at the straight. Where it can stretch it legs a bit, it is just crazy fast. With a bit of arrow this car is an absolute weapon. On the other hand: it doesn't need it. It's more then fast enough with a playfull caracter. Great job from Ferrari!

The GT3 RS did a 6.54,99 min lap time in Sport Auto, with the same driver. This is less than 4 seconds quicker than the 296 GTB, which is a base version of the entry level Ferrari.. Being so close to the most hardcore, track-focused Porsche, in their home turf, is quite an accomplishment!!

@@mikemoggerson6651 Yes, they're different. And yes, the 296 GTB is more expensive but I would say it is fairly priced for a Ferrari, given that it is a completely new platform which is loaded with innovations and new technology, that costed a lot of money to develop. I am not sure that I can say the same about the GT3 RS.. no matter how quick it is at the racetrack.. Moreover, IT IS the entry-level Ferrari model and, in specific, the base version of that model. Ferrari will no doubt develop other more track-focused versions of the 296 in the future. Then, there's their flagship model, the SF90; a track-focused version of that model (probably named "SF90 LM") will be unveiled in a few months.

[@AB-80X]

Go drive both, and you quickly realise what the SF90 can do that this can't. The SF90 would absolutely obliterate the 296 on a track. I have a Pista, an SF90 and an F8. I have driven the 296 on both track and road, in all versions. I hate the lazy throttle response of the 296 and its threshold lag. And the numb steering does nothing for me. If you are not above 5500 rpm absolutely nothing happens and while the steering is fast and light, it offers nothing in terms of feedback, much less than the SF90. And the F8, Pista and SF90 has some edginess to them where putting your foot in it even at 120+ kph results in tyre smoke, it's hard to break the tyres loose in the 296 even in second gear. It's the same old story of the motoring press. Someone says something and then that becomes gospel, and nobody has an opinion of their own.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

@AB-80X you're the lone opinion on that then, seems everyone else I've talked to has absolutely loved it. And remember.... throttle and power improvement is just a simple ECU tune away in the 296. Regardless, IMO, the 296 in a better design than the SF90, and sounds miles better (especially with sports cats)

It was the correct answer to install a super wide bang engine. It is true that the advantage of having a low center of gravity led to this time.

Even though I hate that every manufacturer is going to these soft sounding V6's for their performance cars, this one sounds SUPERB!!!

[@minimaus2935]

Klasse gefahren und selber geschaltet... So muss das

Witzig, das Video ist 9:11 lang.

The GT3 of this car won the 24h of Nurbungring ❤

[@alexluke84]

Love this mini supercar 💪💪💪

[@Mehmet-papa]

Excellent lap. But i wish has the carbon fiber chassis and naturally aspirated engine but besides that this car both beatiful and scary fast.

Delivery as it's best , awesome machine(s) !! ☝️👏🤘🏁😘

Damnn ~ Thats a FAST Ferrari ~ without being a special edition ~!!

[@mikelelvira7764]

Ich muss ehrlich sagen ich bin etwas enttäuscht. Diesmal ist nichts von der Sonnenblende gefallen, Scheibe nicht beschlagen oder Ähnliches 😆. Jetzt im Ernst, geiles Video, könnte ich 1000 mal anschauen. Wie schnell ist das!!!

[@jayjayDrm]

tbh the car seems to behave like a widowmaker. i can see why the driver was careful and lifting in some corners.

[@911gt333]

Plz tell me 4:33 what happened there?!?!?

[@sebo8872]

Bottoming out, suspension hits bumprubber and suddenly tires are overloaded giving up side force.

Amazing A pillar Lap

Wow, it turns... And the driver - balls.

Der beschleunigt ja übelst gut .An Motorpower fehlt es nicht !!!

[@rikkiseddo]

What the hell is that low droning noise during cornering? You can hear the during cornering along with the tyre squeal from the fronts. Is it the stability and side slip control applying the brakes?

[@Fastvoice]

Driving over the curbs makes such noises.

[@lukasalves2161]

"Aerodynamics is for those who don't know how to build engines" Well done, sub 7 without a giant spoiler

[@Oli_swiss_mk7r]

Liebe Sportauto lieber Christian... Wieso?!? Immer noch diese Audio Aussetzer am Anfang der Runde? Wiiiiiesooo?!? 🤨🤔🤨

[@maxhofer3223]

all about power on the straights, difficult handling in corners…respect to the driver….!!!!

[@guillaumesandmayer7053]

Sub 7 minute time from something that can be purchased from a showroom and then run on premium pump gas. Madness.

[@kholbekkholmuminov9438]

what happened at 4:34?

[@roletnabih]

That was odd its just suspension bottomed out.

[@81masomaso]

😂😂😂😂

[@dr.deekhounds5339]

I followed this corner by corner with a GT3. It's cornering speeds are 7-15 km/h slower at each corner. And it's not even a GT3 RS with a huge wing. It manages to pull through straights maintaining a 20-30 km/h advantage. Nordschleife is a particularly difficult track. On something like a Grand Prix circuit (or most other tracks for that matter, all of them with loooong straights and not so tight corners), the 296 would be much faster than a GT3. Still I'd pick a GT3. Unless you have the patience to make frequent visits to a Ferrari service center.

[@deltas4764]

Almost clips every apex. Masterpiece .

[@chijen2010]

This is the best production car in the world right now. I’m not counting the Koenigseggs, which probably can’t even do this time. Can’t wait for the Hybrid 911’s to come out.

[@Gabgena]

Hermoso como suena ese V6 ❤

[@apexglide3191]

Still waiting for the SF90 Stradale setting a time on nordschleife

[@Astons_Martin]

Not sure it will be faster....😬🤷

[@Tom_22]

Sf90lm will have a huge wing, waiting for that…

[@ForTheDailyRide]

congratulations great driving.

full lap or shorter 20,6km?

[@therealconfidentiality7526]

I love it even tho is very soft. Well done mate.

[@ang9222]

Too expensive to do full send? 500hp GT3 RS did 6.54🤔

[@samuelele]

It‘s astonishing how much more power this car has and still is 9 seconds slower than a porsche gt3rs

[@mikemoggerson6651]

Gt3 cars “only” have 500 HP but around a circuit would obliterate just about any road car. Downforce and then power to weight ratio are the two most important things for most circuits. High powered cars, if they aren’t setup for the track, will usually be beaten by lower powered, lighter cars with a track setup. Considering this car’s aero and lack of wing, this time is extremely impressive

[@stxdrago]

you see that you don't know much about cars. except it's not 9 seconds. moreover, this is a car for road use, not a track-ready car like the gt3rs which has a spoiler behind it to put all my mum's ironing. when ferrari makes the track version of this 296 then we'll talk about it again, apart from the fact that this track is very anomalous in the sense that if you take the 296 gtb vs porsche gt3 rs most of the normal circuits ferrari plays them heavily. 

[@AndrewLewer90]

That's because, as the name suggest, the 296 GTB is a "Gran Turismo Berlinetta" not a track-focused car like the GT3RS. If anything, the GT3RS lap time will be smashed if the 296 GTB had any aero.

[@amarjit_singh_]

@@ID_GAF1 👌🏻Not everyone understands the difference between a magazine lap and a factory lap even though experts like Misha explained them multiple times.

[@maximborodyuk3773]

it's astonishing how people still thinks nurburgring times made in insanely different conditions (driver, amount of tries, setup, which amplifies on this length track tremendously) are relatable at all. Also, to hell with power, 3rs have 6 cm total more tire width on the front and 4 cm on the rear. And like gazillion times more downforce. And 200 kg lighter. And it's cranked to the not even eleven, but like 999 - the point it hardly could be driven on the street. So sub7 sandbagged lap from german-only magazine is somewhat good. I bet in the hands on non-german magazine it would easily do 3+ seconds faster in the same conditions, lol
