Ferrari 296 Speciale A
Autocar says the Ferrari 296 Speciale A (for Aperta) has gone on sale in parallel with the equivalent Speciale berlinetta, and is ostensibly a 'speciale' version of the Ferrari 296 GTS convertible, with a departure price just over £400,000, which can rise north of £500,000 with optional spend, as it did on Autocar's test car. Evo says the 296 Speciale Aperta was launched as the only other convertible to wear the Speciale name since the 458, giving it seriously big boots to fill, and calls it undoubtedly one of the best road cars on sale today, adding that it should be, given its lineage. The Drive says the 2026 Ferrari 296 Speciale Aperta offers mind-bending speed and a unique personality, making it a standout in Ferrari's lineup.
