In compliance with FIA racing standards, the roll cage has been meticulously designed down to the last detail, using the most sophisticated computation technologies. The circular air con vents deliver an optimal flow to improve the occupant’s comfort and can be adjusted in all directions, while the seat, which is derived from the 293 GT3 was developed to further improve ergonomics, particularly in the head, shoulder and elbows areas.

The aim with the 296 Challenge's aero development was to use the knowledge built up the 296 GT3, to deliver unprecedented downforce figures for Ferrari's single-make series. The results are Unprecedented downforce figures! The 296 Challenge can generate 870 kg of downforce at 250 km/h with the spoiler at its maximum angle of attack. This is an 18% increase in downforce compared to the 488 Challenge Evo. The car's aero design focused not just on the pursuit of performance, but also on drivability.

The 296 Challenge is the very first car in the single-make series to feature a V6 engine. The hybrid powertrain featured in the production version was removed to reduce weight, while the power output was increased to 700cv, resulting in record specific power output for the segment - 234cv/l
