Product Description:
The Carbon Fibre Rear Engine Lid Centre Insert is a premium aerodynamic and aesthetic refinement for the Ferrari 296 GTB. Positioned prominently on the rear engine deck, this insert replaces the standard factory plastic trim with high-grade naked carbon fibre. It is designed to bridge the visual gap between the glass engine cover and the rear active aerodynamics, providing the "Piccolo V12" hybrid with a more technical, motorsport-inspired rear profile.
Technical Integration: This component is a precision-molded insert that replaces the central section of the rear lid. It adds a sophisticated carbon fibre spine to the car’s rear deck, drawing the eye toward the mid-mounted V6 engine.
Autoclave Curing: Manufactured using pre-preg carbon fibre and cured in an autoclave at high temperature and pressure. This process ensures an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio and a flawless, uniform weave pattern that meets the standards of Maranello’s flagship models.
Surface Finish: The part is finished in a high-gloss clear coat (90 gloss), specifically formulated to be UV-resistant. This prevents the carbon from yellowing or fading despite constant exposure to direct sunlight and the extreme heat rising from the engine bay.
Thermal Stability: The 296 GTB generates significant thermal energy from its "hot V" turbocharger configuration. Utilizing aerospace-grade carbon fibre ensures the insert maintains its structural integrity and remains dimensionally stable, unlike standard plastic which can warp over time.
Lightweight Construction: By replacing the OEM composite part with carbon fibre, this insert contributes to the vehicle's overall weight-saving mission, reducing mass at the highest point of the rear deck.
Optimized Airflow: The smooth, mirror-finish surface helps maintain clean laminar airflow as it travels over the rear deck toward the active "Laaf" spoiler, ensuring the vehicle's aerodynamic balance remains uncompromised.
Application: Ferrari 296 GTB (Coupe). Note: This specific part is not compatible with the 296 GTS (Spider).
Material: 100% High-Tensile Carbon Fibre.
Weight: 0.8 kg.
Fitment: Direct replacement for the OEM central lid insert; utilizes factory mounting points for a "zero-gap" integration.
Precision Fit: Developed using 3D laser-scanning technology to ensure a seamless fit against the surrounding paintwork and rear glass.
Professional Recommendation: To ensure the correct alignment and to maintain the integrity of the rear lid seals, professional installation by a specialist workshop is highly recommended.
