A Ferrari in Fortnite: the battle royale welcomes its first real car today to drive in style

Epic Games teams up with the Maranello team to add the Ferrari 296 GTB to the game.

Have you always wanted to drive a Ferrari? Well now you can fulfill your dream … in Fortnite . Yes, the game par excellence of Epic Games welcomes today its first licensed vehicle: a Ferrari 296 GTB with which you can travel the island of Fortnite as rampant as the horse on its shield, while you destroy the enemies in the battle royale free .

While Epic Games is no stranger to collaborations in its game, the arrival of a Ferrari to Fortnite is special for several reasons. Mainly because it is the first “real” car the game receives , but also because, until now, its collaborations have always been limited to fictional characters, real celebrities and sports superstars such as Neymar Jr. and, more recently, LeBron James with motif of Space Jam 2 .

Come on, Fortnite collaborations had so far focused on the world of entertainment, unlike Roblox, which is more given to promoting specific brands and products on its platform. So Epic Games may be looking for more promotions of the style in the future. Back to the vehicle, the new Fortnite car is this Ferrari 296 GTB that the Maranello manufacturer announced in 2021, and that will go on sale in 2022 starting at 300,000 euros .

Of course, in Fortnite it will be enough for you to find it on the island and ride it. As the official Ferrari account on Twitter anticipates, the car will be available today in the battle royale, so do not hesitate to jump into it this afternoon. We remind you that Season 7 of Fortnite Chapter 2 continues, and that it has characters such as Superman and Rick Sánchez , from Rick and Morty.
