Recently, Ferrari unveiled the 296 GTB, a twin-turbo V6 hybrid supercar that previews the Prancing Horse’s electrified future. Now, a virtual version of the car will be available to drive in popular battle royale video game Fortnite.
The announcement comes after a teaser on the game’s twitter account from Wednesday, which showed a cryptic image of a Ferrari fender badge with some in-game scenery in the paint’s reflection and “Fortnite” lettering on the tires.

As part of the game’s weekly Epic Quests, players can pilot the 296 GTB in a series of different events, such as time trials, top speed runs, and driving through the game’s storms. There will also be special in-game accessories to buy for your character in the store as part of what’s called the “Road Ready Ferrari Bundle.” The bundle includes the Modena Icon and Maranello Racer outfits, as well as the Ferrari Turbo Back Bling.

The real life 296 GTB is powered by a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine, which is mated to an electric motor. The electrified powertrain delivers a combined 819 hp (830 PS / 611 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque through its eight-speed gearbox, 654 hp (663 PS / 488 kW) of which comes from the gasoline engine alone. All in all, it allows the car to go from 0-100 km/h (0-96 mph) in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of over 210 mph (338 km/h).
The 296 GTB and Road Ready Ferrari Bundle are both currently available to Fortnite players as of July 22, and you can check out the trailer for yourself below.
