Front and rear suspension: double wishbone, tubular steel suspension arms, aluminum uprights
If the 296 GTB was developed around the concept of driving pleasure and enjoyment, the GT3 version had to accentuate these characteristics, translating them into racing. The 296 GT3 has a longer wheelbase than its road-going counterpart, within the regulatory limits, and a different suspension design to the 488 GT3, with dedicated kinematics and structures. The double wishbone a new double wishbone suspension design have been made in order to increase the handling of the car without penalising tire wear, performance and consistency.
The suspension, like the anti-roll bars, features the widest possible range of settings providing drivers with the best possible setup. The braking system was also revised and upgraded, with newly designed callipers and discs (now 400 mm at the front). However, the forged wheels of the 296 GT3, developed and homologated exclusively by Rotiform for this model, are entirely new.
