RETURN TO THE WEC TOP CLASS
499P is the name of
the new Le Mans Hypercar with which Ferrari will tackle the FIA WEC in the top
class from 2023, a name evoking the history of the Prancing Horse manufacturer.
The Ferrari 499P is a
manifesto to our commitment to endurance racing.
The four-wheel drive
prototype complies with the technical regulations and requirements of the
hybrid-engined Le Mans Hypercar class, delivering a maximum power of 500 kW to
the wheels and with a minimum weight of no less than 1,030 kilos.
In defining the 499P,
the company has drawn on the vast resources of technical, professional and
human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management
to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the
technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge
of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars.
