The Assetto Fiorano package is an optional track-focused upgrade for the 296 GTB. It includes Multimatic adjustable dampers derived from GT racing, carbon-fibre for the door panels and underbody elements, a Lexan rear window, and optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. The package reduces weight by around 12 kg (26 lb) and increases downforce at high speed. Cars with this spec can also be optioned with a two-tone livery inspired by Ferrari’s endurance racers, like the Ferrari 250 LM.
