Ferrari revealed its new race car at Maranello, Italy, today. The 499P will enter competition as a Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) type and represents Ferrari's return to the top tier of endurance racing some 50 years after the 312P's last run.
The 499P will make its debut in March at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, which is the opening race of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship.
The 499P cars will wear numbers 50 (for Ferrari's last works entry 50 years ago) and 51 ("one of the most successful racing numbers in our history").
The 499P derives its name in the Ferrari racing tradition, referencing the displacement of its 2992-cc twin-turbocharged V-6, which shares the architecture of the 296 GT3.
Ferrari executive chairman John Elkann calls the 499P "faithful to our tradition that sees the track as the ideal terrain to push the boundaries of cutting-edge technological solutions." It also looks great.
The car is built on a new carbon-fiber monocoque chassis.
The lower wing has a light bar and is intended to convey a "decisive yet minimalist" look.
As in the past, Ferrari will collaborate with AF Corse to manage the car on track.
Ferrari 499P's color scheme is based on that of the 1970s-era 312P.
Ferrari 499P's hybrid powertrain makes a total of 680 horsepower teamed with a seven-speed sequential gearbox.
