Ferrari 296 GTS gets unexpected treatment from a JDM tuner

DarwinPro’s take on the flamboyant Ferrari 296 GTS is certainly an acquired taste, as it makes the car look cheaper than OEM.

It consists of what looks like gloss-black plastic parts – a front apron with a splitter, side sill extensions and a rear diffuser with integrated taillights. It can be argued that the plasticky sheen detracts from the splendor of a Ferrari Fed body, and those dual-five-spoke wheels don’t help much.

The power is still sourced from a V6-based hybrid system capable of 830 PS (819 hp / 610 kW) and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque. The 296 GT Spyder only needs 2.9 seconds to throw itself from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph).
