Ferrari 499P Modificata for auction

Gooding & Co. will auction a 2024 Ferrari 499P Modificata, chassis number 21, which is nearly new. The car is estimated to sell for slightly less than 8 million euros, though the final price may be higher due to additional costs.

Race history of the 499P

The 499P is based on the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three consecutive times in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The first victory in 2023 ended Toyota's five-year winning streak, and subsequent wins were achieved by different drivers and teams.

Modificata differs from the race car

The Modificata version of the 499P is not the actual race car. While it uses the same architecture, it is designed for clients who want to drive it without the strict regulations of official competition. It is not road-legal and cannot be used in official races.

Power and performance features

The Modificata combines a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with an electric motor on the front axle, producing approximately 707 horsepower. A Push to Pass button can add 163 horsepower for seven seconds, increasing total power to 870 horsepower.

Design and technical specifications

The Modificata features a fully electric all-wheel drive system that works at all speeds, unlike the race version, which only activates the front hybrid axle above 190 km/h. Other changes include revised tires, suspensions, electronic aids, and engine maps, allowing for greater performance freedom.

Ownership and usage conditions

Purchasing the Modificata grants access to Ferrari's Sport Prototipi Clienti program, which allows driving on international circuits during dedicated events. However, the car must remain in Ferrari's Maranello workshops until December 2028 unless a different arrangement is made.

Target audience and value

The car is likely to appeal to a small group of wealthy collectors who see it as a piece of sporting history. For others, it may serve more as a conversation piece than a practical possession.
