The Forti FG03 was the car with which the Forti team competed in part of the 1996 Formula One season. It was driven by Luca Badoer and Andrea Montermini, both of whom were in their first year with the team.
The car was designed as a replacement for the slow, cumbersome "B" version of the FG01 that the team had used to limited effect in 1995. It was a major step forward in terms of downforce and sensitivity, but it came too late to save the team from financial collapse by the German GP.
The team was last in the Constructors' Championship, with no points.
