Ferrari has revealed the 499P Modificata Hypercar, a Le Mans racecar that you can buy – but not race
Ferrari already has a reputation for bringing its wealthiest, most valued customers right into the fold, but it’s just taken things up a notch with this; the 499P Modificata. Just revealed at Finali Mondiali, Ferrari’s annual bash in Mugello, it’s a track-only racecar heavily based on the 499P that wonearlier this year. Simply put, it’s a €5.1 million ticket into one of Maranello’s most sophisticated racing programs.
While the racecar proper can only deploy its hybrid power beyond speeds of 190km/h to achieve performance parity with LMDh cars, the Modificata can power the front axle from a standstill. That gives it increased traction and torque out of corners and a smoother power delivery. The suspension system has been overhauled too; the Modificata will still use a state-of-the-art pushrod solution but it’ll now be more drivable and predictable. After all, this isn’t designed to be a race car, but a taste of what a 2023 Hypercar can do.
