Held during the Ferrari Tour of Rajasthan, hosted by Select Cars, guests got a glimpse of the mid-rear engined plug-in hybrid spider. The car joins the Scuderia Spider 16M, the 458 Speciale A, and the 488 Pista Spider, an ultra-exclusive dynasty of special versions of Ferrari’s berlinetta-derived spiders, and aims to become the new benchmark of the range - as well as the market - in terms of top-down driving thrills.

The 296 Speciale A adds the retractable hardtop (RHT) to the coupé’s incredible qualities of agile handling, responsiveness and stability, qualities that, together with the additional appeal of being able to drive in the open air, make it unrivalled. This special version not only multiplies the already extraordinary performance of the 296 GTS but also introduces a sense of predictability and intuitiveness that makes this a car unlike any other.

Conceived for the Ferrarista who demands an unrivalled driving experience, the 296 Speciale A represents the new pinnacle for this model type and is dedicated to owners in search of that special feeling of being at the wheel of a car with extraordinary performance.

The 296 Speciale A looks set to be launched in India soon following its special preview. The car was presented at the Ferrari Tour of Rajasthan as part of Select Car’s 10-year anniversary milestone celebrations which brought together a group of Prancing Horse owners for an exclusive five-day journey through Rajasthan’s royal landscapes, experiencing its rich heritage in true Ferrari style.

Adding more prestige to the Tour were the Ferrari 12Cilindri and the 296 GTB, giving guests the opportunity to experience the thrills of test driving both cars throughout the journey.
