The Ferrari 296 CORSSO by VENUUM introduces a radical widebody interpretation of the Italian supercar. Sculpted exterior proportions and exposed carbon-fibre detailing give the 296 a more aggressive character while preserving its recognisable silhouette. CORSSO brings the VENUUM design philosophy into focus: distinctive bodywork, carefully considered finishes and an unmistakable visual identity.
Limited to 25 vehicles worldwide, the CORSSO programme offers a more individual expression of the Ferrari 296, with the configuration of each transformation defined through its project specification.
Ferrari 296 CORSSO: Carbon-Fibre Widebody by VENUUM
Italian character. A more radical expression.
CORSSO begins with a clear ambition: give the Ferrari 296 a presence that feels as intense as the emotion it inspires.
The Ferrari 296 CORSSO Widebody by VENUUM explores the contrast between flowing bodywork and more pronounced proportions. Its design direction is assertive without abandoning the elegance of the original silhouette.
This is a project for owners who appreciate the 296’s character but want their vehicle to express something more personal. A different stance. A stronger outline. Details that invite a closer look.
The 296 is the foundation. CORSSO makes a statement of its own.
Ferrari 296 Widebody Design
The CORSSO design is approached as a complete vehicle, with each exterior element contributing to the same visual direction.
The front establishes the attitude. The extended bodywork carries that character through the profile. The rear completes the shape with a corresponding sense of width and purpose.
Our intention is to create a balanced transformation, not simply the widest or most elaborate interpretation possible. The relationship between the upper silhouette, the wheel arches and the lower bodywork matters more than any single component.
For owners seeking a Ferrari 296 widebody kit, CORSSO offers a design centred on that relationship: a more muscular appearance that remains connected to the car beneath.
A Coordinated Ferrari 296 Body Kit
VENUUM’s published Ferrari 296 body-kit set brings together a front bumper, body extensions, side skirts and a rear bumper. These components form the basis of the exterior programme, with the final CORSSO configuration defined for the individual vehicle.
Within the design, the body extensions establish the broader appearance, while the side skirts connect the front and rear along the lower profile. The bumper designs give both ends of the vehicle a distinct expression within the same composition.
Colour and finish then determine how those forms are revealed. A closely matched treatment can emphasise the complete silhouette; contrasting details can draw attention to specific surfaces.
Every component has a role. Every finish changes how the design is seen.
Exposed Carbon Fibre and Sculpted Surfaces
Exposed carbon fibre forms part of the published CORSSO design direction, contributing to its distinctive exterior appearance.
For VENUUM, the material is also a visual choice. Its contrast with painted bodywork can emphasise a contour, define an edge or introduce depth into a recessed surface.
The finishing approach should support the shape rather than obscure it. A dark specification can create a more restrained interplay between paint and carbon, while a brighter body colour can make those contrasts more pronounced.
The aim is an exterior that works at two scales: a strong silhouette at a distance and carefully resolved details up close.
VENUUM Forged Wheels
VENUUM’s wheel programme includes custom forged wheels in different designs and constructions, providing a separate area of personalisation alongside the exterior bodywork.
For CORSSO, the wheel configuration is considered in relation to the widebody proportions. Design and finish should complement the surrounding surfaces, giving the vehicle a cohesive appearance from the side as well as from three-quarter views.
The exact wheel dimensions, fitment and tyre specification are established for the individual build. Their inclusion is detailed in the project proposal rather than assumed to be part of every body-kit package.
Bespoke Interior Personalisation
The wider VENUUM offering includes bespoke interior work, personalised upholstery, colour combinations and selected trim treatments. These services allow the creative direction to extend into the cabin when specified as part of the project.
For CORSSO, the interior can complement the exterior without simply repeating it.
A restrained cabin can balance an expressive body colour. Contrasting upholstery and carefully selected detailing can introduce another dimension when the doors open.
The objective is a connected experience: a vehicle that feels distinctive when approached and personal when occupied.
A Modern Ferrari Foundation
The factory Ferrari 296 GTB combines a turbocharged V6 with a plug-in hybrid system, providing the technical foundation for an already distinctive driving experience.
CORSSO’s defining contribution is its exterior design and personalisation. Its visual intensity is not, by itself, a claim of increased power, reduced weight or improved aerodynamic performance.
The transformation focuses on how the vehicle is seen and experienced as a design object—its proportions, finishes and individual character.
1 of 25 Worldwide
The VENUUM CORSSO programme is limited to 25 vehicles worldwide.
The edition defines the scale of the project. Personalisation gives each specification its own expression within that shared design.
CORSSO is conceived for owners and collectors who value that distinction: a recognisable VENUUM creation, shaped by individual choices rather than a standard combination of colours and accessories.
An edition of 25. A design that stands apart.
