Ferrari has taken the 296 and freed it from GT3's regulation book entirely, building the GT Modificata as a race car with no class to satisfy and no homologation box to check. That freedom is the point: without a rulebook dictating its limits, the car is built purely for the owner who wants to drive it hard, not campaign it for points. It lands as a serious track day machine aimed at collectors who already have the garage for it.
