FERRARI 499P MODIFICATA - DRIVE THE LEGEND

Motorsport embodies the ideals of passion, determination and the pursuit of excellence that have always been the founding values of the Ferrari brand. Since its beginnings, motor racing has proved to be a formidable tool for building the brand, making a major contribution to creating a legend unrivalled anywhere in the world, while at the same time serving as a unique test bed for pushing back the limits of new technical solutions that can then be used in the world of production cars. There is no race or championship in which Ferrari has not left an indelible mark. In Formula 1, the Prancing Horse has won more titles than any other team and is the only one to have competed in every edition since the championship began in 1950. In sports prototype racing, epic battles with the giants of the motor industry and prestigious victories at the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans have also played a large part in building the Ferrari legend.

In 2021, Ferrari announced the launch of its development programme for a prototype in the LMH category, the top class of endurance racing. Two years later, history was made once again, with Ferrari winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the 499P presented that same year.

To celebrate this historic day, Ferrari set about developing one of the most exclusive cars to date: the 499P Modificata. The concept is clear: it is based on the 499P but with slight modifications designed to improve its handling and the driving pleasure of the gentlemen drivers who will have the pleasure of driving it. The 499P MODIFICATA is derived directly from a racing car, not a road-going supercar, so it is not in the same family as XX cars. It was therefore necessary to create a new category in the Corse Clienti range: Sport Prototipi Clienti.
