Description
The 296 Special is our latest evolution, directly derived from the acclaimed 296 PRO, but refined with a series of key improvements in both design and craftsmanship.
Inspired by the button box layout of the most iconic Italian GT3 car in the world, the 296 Special is not just an upgrade — it is a tribute to precision engineering and motorsport heritage. Unlike the 296 PRO, which was produced using a sandwich construction, the 296 Special is carved from a single solid piece, then meticulously hand-finished through a dedicated sanding process and a premium carbon hydro-dipping treatment. This approach ensures maximum strength, an ultra-clean surface, and a more authentic racing feel.
Primarily designed to complement our 296 Cockpit, the 296 Special integrates seamlessly when mounted to the right side of the chassis, enhancing both ergonomics and immersion for professional sim-racers.
Built with attention to detail and true racing DNA, the 296 Special is the perfect fusion of craftsmanship, performance, and Italian GT3 inspiration.

Build Quality
Each 296 Special is not a mass-produced item, but rather a piece of precision craftsmanship — hand-built one by one, with meticulous attention paid to every single detail. This artisanal approach ensures not only a unique product, but also a level of refinement and durability that industrial manufacturing cannot match.
Unlike conventional button boxes that rely on standard PCBs, the 296 Special is engineered with a modular electronic design. This means that even after years of use, in the unlikely event of a malfunction, there is no need to replace the entire PCB. Instead, a single button or component can be quickly and cost-effectively replaced. This philosophy keeps maintenance costs to a minimum, even outside of warranty, while ensuring maximum reliability over time.
The result is a product designed for endurance, serviceability, and uncompromising performance — built to last as long as your passion for racing.
