The Ferrari 499P Modificata: An Exclusive Track-Only Sports Prototype

 Ferrari introduces its latest limited-edition sports prototype, the Ferrari 499P Modificata. Crafted for track use only, this car pays homage to the iconic Ferrari 499P, a titan of endurance racing during the 1960s and 1970s that claimed victory in nine out of the 10 24 Hours of Le Mans races. The Ferrari 499P Modificata celebrates the racing legacy of the Prancing Horse while shining a spotlight on its cutting-edge technology and engineering brilliance.

The Standout Features of the Ferrari 499P Modificata 

The Ferrari 499P Modificata carves out a niche of its own. It's neither a road car nor a racing car. Rather, it's an exclusive breed designed for Ferrari's most dedicated and discerning clientele who crave the exhilaration of piloting a high-performance prototype on the track. The car's foundation is the Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo, a participant in the FIA GT World Challenge. However, it has been enhanced and customized, incorporating features from the Ferrari 488 GTE and the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

The Ferrari 499P Modificata sports a lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork which enhances its aerodynamics. Its unique front splitter, large rear wing, and diffuser generate substantial downforce. The vehicle is powered by a V8 twin-turbo engine, boasting over 700 horsepower, the most potent V8 ever installed in a Ferrari sports car. This engine pairs with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensuring rapid and seamless gear shifts. A cutting-edge hybrid system recovers energy during braking, utilizing it to amplify acceleration and performance.



This Ferrari model incorporates an advanced electronic control system that synchronizes the engine, gearbox, traction control, and brake-by-wire system. A manettino switch located on the steering wheel allows drivers to switch between various driving modes, including Wet, Dry, Qualify, Race, and Hotlap. A digital dashboard provides all essential information and data, such as speed, lap times, tire pressure, fuel level, and battery charge.

For safety, the Ferrari 499P Modificata comes with a roll cage, a fire extinguisher system, and a six-point harness. The racing seat can be adjusted to accommodate different drivers, and an optional passenger seat can be installed, enabling the owner to share the exhilarating driving experience with a friend or instructor.

Securing Your Spot for the Ferrari 499P Modificata

The Ferrari 499P Modificata, a limited-edition sports prototype, is anticipated to be produced in scarce quantity. This prestigious vehicle is available solely for Ferrari's dedicated clientele who are part of the Corse Clienti program.

In addition, the program hosts special events and activities for its members, including track days, races, rallies, and touring experiences.

The price tag for the coveted Ferrari 499P Modificata remains undisclosed at present. However, given its rarity and exclusivity, a steep price is expected. Speculation suggests the car could fetch around $2.5 million USD, potentially earning it a place among the most expensive Ferraris ever manufactured. But for those with the means, the Ferrari 499P Modificata is more than a vehicle. It's a slice of history, a masterpiece on wheels, and a dream realized.



The Significance of the Ferrari 499P Modificata

XEV begins serial manufacturing of its YoYo electric car

Image
  The IAA was once the stage for major Italian brands, at whose stands fans and customers flocked to be amazed: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat will be absent from the IAA Mobility in 2021. But another Italian holds the position. With the Yoyo, the young company has developed an electric city vehicle that is built in China. A steel frame serves as the basic structure around which the body is then assembled with parts from the 3D printer. With a length of 2.53 meters, the two-seater XEV Yoyo picks up on the original idea of ​​the Smart, and as "half a car," is, therefore, primarily at home in narrow city traffic. The Yoyo, which weighs only 450 kilograms without batteries, is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 15 kW (20 hp). The continuous output is given as 7.5 kW (10 HP). That should be enough to accelerate the Yoyo up to 75 km / h. Depending on the licensing requirements, it can also be designed as a light vehicle w

Audi activesphere joins the sphere family of concept vehicles, using an electric motor and quick-charging technology

Image
 The Audi activesphere is a flexible boundary crosser that blends opposites in perfect harmony, with a drive system and suspension that make it equally adept on and off the road. The steering wheel and pedals enable the driver to actively operate the vehicle while providing autonomous driving for a more pleasant driving experience. It is a coupé with standard dimensions and lines that changes into a pickup for hauling top-class sports gear in only a few seconds - there is even enough space in the cargo bed for two e-bikes. The concept automobile was conceptualized and designed at the Audi Design Studio in Malibu, just a short distance from the famed Pacific Coast Highway. The project's creative minds are studio manager Gael Buzyn and his staff. "The activesphere is unique," he says of the project's concept. It's a new kind of crossover that cleverly combines the elegance of an Audi Sportback, the utility of an SUV, and true offroad capability." The Audi activ

Ford Puma STline X EcoBoost Review

Image
 Put it this way-this may be the last crossover review you must read. The Ford Puma is like a golf or 3 series station wagon. It is one of the cars that makes everyone very satisfied.   What is even more surprising is how long it took Ford, the most popular car manufacturer in the UK, to make a good crossover. How long has the Nissan Juke been around, nearly ten years? By this time, the tall hatchback had become the new, uh, hatchback. But Ford has had a great time and has had some tragically failed attempts to catch up.   Ford produces very good cars. Not waste time. Carnival, Fox, SMax, even Mondeo; may not be exciting, but they are hard to choose.   On the other hand, Ford has an impressive cross-border track record. EcoSport is so bad, Edge is so bad that Ford gave it up (this must be one of the only cases where an SUV was pulled off the shelf in these 4x4 obsessions), and only Kuga has shown any talent, but he's just about to do so. Be replaced by its dated cabin, but for now

The new Audi electric SUV uses the MEB platform of the Volkswagen group, thus sharing

Furion M1 - hybrid motorcycle - performance and fuel consumption

Image
The problem with hybrid vehicles is that two engines take up a lot of space, and because of this the French from Furion opted for a Wankel engine, which produces 125 horsepower and 105Nm of torque. Also with which they plan to put to work an electric motor capable of another 55 horsepower and 100 Nm. A simple estimate indicates a superbike power, 180 hp along with a torque of 205 Nm, which would make a KTM 1290 Super Duke R, a reference in this chapter, envious. This is because Super Duke R offers only 144 Nm. Fortunately or unfortunately, Furion is just a start-up in the crowdfunding phase - what does that sound like, and I can't help it, but it has done enough to hope for something concrete. This is also because, despite its performance, the Furion M1  hybrid motorcycle  will consume around four litres of petrol and since the M1 can be operated exclusively in electric mode, the French are talking about 480 kilometres in urban areas! Otherwise, the motorcycle is quite common, with

The new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport from 3.2 million euros

Image
 It would seem that two years ago, Bugatti had already released the Chiron Super Sport 300+ - a special version close to the record car , which was able to develop more than 300 miles per hour (483 km / h) in tests, which is reflected in the index. It is assumed that commercial vehicles with special training and a disabled limiter could repeat this achievement, but only 30 of them were made for 3.5 million euros without taxes. And now the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport coupe is presented - already without the "300+" prefix. And in fact, this is not a new version, but just an additional edition. Like two years ago, the supersport Chiron has a body with a modified profile of the sidewalls and a stern lengthened by 25 cm. Such a tail plays the role of a stabilizer for air flows, and a large diffuser also increases downforce, so that the hidden wing leaves on command of the electronics only if necessary, and is not used during races at maximum speed. The nine holes in each front fen
