Ferrari has launched a modified version of its Le Mans-winning hypercar, named the 499P Modificata, aimed at clients who want to experience a taste of the racing world.
Announced during the annual Finali Mondiali event in Mugello, the Modificata is a track car based on the 499P that won the historic race in 2023. This vehicle is an exclusive opportunity for Ferrari enthusiasts to participate in a sophisticated racing program, with a starting price of nearly $5.5 million before taxes.
Externally, the 499P Modificata resembles the hypercar that won at Le Mans, but its mechanics have been adapted to make the vehicle easier to maintain and more accessible to amateur drivers.
The vehicle features a lighter V6 engine and a 200 kW hybrid system that is not bound by the strict ACO rules for hypercars, meaning the Modificata can use hybrid power from a standstill, providing more traction and torque when exiting corners. The total power output reaches 858 hp, and a push-to-pass button offers an additional boost of 161 hp for seven seconds, similar to the system used in Formula 1.
The 499P Modificata offers a personalized experience for its owners, with custom-made Pirelli tires and an enhanced suspension system for improved drivability. Additionally, Ferrari has widened the driver’s seat to accommodate a more diverse range of drivers.
The car’s price includes track support for two years at events organized by Ferrari, with a team of mechanics and a track available for the owners of the Modificata.
