Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS, a groundbreaking mid-engine marvel in the Prancing Horse lineup, has redefined hybrid supercar performance. Now, DARWINPRO's IMP-PERFORMANCE (iMP) pushes the boundaries further with a bespoke carbon fiber aerodynamic kit designed to seamlessly blend striking aesthetics with track-proven performance.
Aesthetic Inspiration from Gothic Architecture
The IMP-PERFORMANCE design team drew inspiration from the intricate structures of Gothic architecture for the Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS aero kit. Gothic design is renowned for its sharp spires, intricate flying buttresses, and fluid sculptural elements—all of which are reflected in the kit’s aggressive yet dynamic aerodynamic enhancements.

“Art On Rolls” – The IMP Design Philosophy
The 296 GTB/GTS aerodynamic kit is introduced under IMP-PERFORMANCE’s new slogan—“Art On Rolls”. Inspired by African-American pianist Memphis Slim’s track Paris On Rolls, this philosophy captures iMP’s approach to design: flowing artistry in motion, where engineering meets aesthetic refinement.
This ethos extends beyond the 296 GTB/GTS and into every IMP-PERFORMANCE creation. Following the successful release of the Ferrari 488 NWB last year, iMP continues its commitment to sculpting cutting-edge aerodynamic solutions for Ferrari’s next-generation models.
Honoring the Prancing Horse Legacy with Aerodynamic Evolution
IMP-PERFORMANCE’s Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS aero kit is not just about visual enhancement—it’s a tribute to Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of innovation. As the successor to the Ferrari 488, the 296 GTB/GTS already represents a new era in automotive engineering, and IMP further refines its essence by injecting bold aerodynamics and artistic sophistication.
From wind tunnel simulations to real-world track testing, every IMP component undergoes extensive validation to ensure peak performance in high-speed scenarios, sharp cornering maneuvers, and extreme driving conditions.
Final Delivered Vehicle Showcase:
IMP-PERFORMANCE is more than just an aerodynamic tuner—it is an automotive sculptor of performance art. The Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS equipped with the IMP carbon fiber aero kit isn’t just a supercar—it’s a rolling masterpiece!
