Ferrari Sport Prototipi Clienti: the first 499P debuts at Mugello

The strictly limited series car developed for non-competitive track use, derived from the winning Hypercar of the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, will run on the 5,245 kilometer track – where the model was first unveiled during the Ferrari World Finals 2023 – with reserved sessions on Thursday 14th, while on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th March it will share sessions with the F1 Clienti single-seaters.

Furthermore, over the three days, the cars of the XX Program will also take to the track.

Sports Prototypes Customers

Among the ups and downs of the Tuscan circuit, as anticipated, for the first time a Modified Ferrari 499P will make its appearance in the context of an event organized specifically by the Prancing Horse.

Compared to the racing Hypercar used in the FIA ​​WEC, the 499P Modified introduces some substantial changes.

Not having to respect the limits of a technical-sporting regulation, the driver can take full advantage of the hybrid powertrain which, by combining the V6 combustion engine on the rear axle and the front electric unit, reaches a maximum power of 640 kW (870 HP), by activating the “Push To Pass” system available for a limited period of time during the fast lap.

Furthermore, all-wheel drive is also available at low speeds, allowing the level of confidence and safety to be raised to offer gentlemen drivers maximum enjoyment on the circuit.

The tires were developed specifically by Pirelli using a tread compound that derives from the technology used in F1.

F1 Clienti and XX Programme

Numerous driving shifts will see customers taking part in the event with other cars. Among these seven single-seaters from the F1 Clienti program including a Ferrari F138 – the last model equipped with a V8 combustion engine, used in the 2013 season, before the advent of the hybrid era – and two F2007s, the 53rd single-seater designed by Ferrari which in 2007 brought in Maranello the Drivers' (with Kimi Räikkönen) and Manufacturer's titles.

Furthermore, the XX Program will be under the spotlight in Tuscany thanks to 17 examples of the cars, not approved for the road and dedicated to non-competitive use on the track, which take cutting-edge technological solutions to the extreme.

The most represented model, with 11 entries, is the Ferrari FXX-K Evo, powered by a 6.2-litre V12 engine and an electric motor capable of delivering a total of 1050 hp (772 kW) with a maximum torque of 900 Nm.
