What engine is in the 296 GT3?

As tradition dictates, the engine is the beating heart of every Ferrari. The 296 GT3 Evo is no exception, powered by a 2,992 cm³ twin-turbo V6 delivering 600 Cv (447 kW), paired with a six-speed transverse sequential gearbox. Derived from the 296 GTB, the 296 GT3 was a purebred race machine that shed the plug-in hybrid system of the road car, relying solely on a 600-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 engine.While the 488 GT3 is its forerunner, the 296 GT3 borrows from history by reintroducing a mid-rear-mounted V6 engine like the 246 SP that won the Targa Florio in 1961 and repeated the feat the following year.
