Could this be the first modified Ferrari 296 GTB?

We’re still yet to drive Ferrari’s new 296 GTB, but with a combined 819bhp on tap from a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 and a compact electric motor, we’re not sure it’ll be lacking in the speed department. 

German tuner DMC clearly reckons some owners will want a bit more, though, because it has already announced a tuning package that unlocks a quite unbelievable 888bhp. 

The electric motor has been left well alone, but the V6 gets a new ECU and the turbo boost is turned up slightly to add that extra 69bhp. Apparently 0-62mph should drop from 2.9 seconds to 2.8 seconds. Every tenth counts when supercar bragging rights are at stake, right?

There’s no word on top speed, but DMC will fit a couple of carbon aero parts including that large rear wing and the rather subtle-looking side skirts. 

What do we think, Internet?
