Highlights
Ferrari’s Extraordinary 499P Modificata
Derived from the Le Mans-Winning 499P, Victorious in Three Consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans, 2023–2025
Never Driven Beyond Factory Shakedown
Track-Only Hypercar Developing Up to 870 PS with “Push to Pass”
Ownership Provides Access to Ferrari’s Exclusive Sport Prototipi Clienti Program, with Factory Support at Dedicated EventsThe latest inductee to the pantheon of historic and victorious Ferrari racing cars, the 499P debuted to glory as the legendary marque’s first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 1965. Harkening back to the iconic 250 GTO, which was mainly campaigned by privateer teams and scored three consecutive World GT Manufacturers’ Championships for Ferrari (1962–1964), the 499P Le Mans Hypercar was made available to customers as the 499P Modificata. Following that inaugural 2023 Le Mans victory, the 499P went on to two more overall wins at Le Mans in 2024 and 2025, firmly re-establishing Ferrari’s 1950s to 1960s glory days in international sports car racing.Appropriately, the 499P was unveiled at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali, the season-ending world finals of the one-make Ferrari Challenge series, during the 2022 edition at Imola. Its racing number, 50, marked the half-century since Ferrari had last contested Le Mans in the top class, and Antonello Coletta, Head of Ferrari GT Sporting Activities, described the new prototype as “a tribute to our past and a manifesto for our future.” Its racing debut came at the 2023 edition of the 1,000 Miles of Sebring, the opening round of the 2023 World Endurance Championship.
At the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023, the centenary edition of the great French endurance classic, the 499P was co-driven to the overall win by Antonio Giovinazzi, Alessandro Pier Guidi, and James Calado. Antonio Fuoco had claimed pole position in Hyperpole qualifying, placing both 499Ps on the front row, and the winning No. 51 car completed 342 laps. This hard-fought and electrifying Ferrari victory also halted the five-victory streak of Toyota Gazoo Racing.

In 2024, Ferrari scored its 11th overall victory and its second straight Le Mans win, with the No. 50 Ferrari 499P piloted by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen, while 2023 winners Pier Guidi, Calado, and Giovinazzi finished 3rd in the No. 51. In 2025, the third consecutive 499P win at Le Mans was achieved by the privately entered AF Corse No. 83 car with Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson driving, the No. 51 Ferrari 499P again finishing 3rd.

The brilliant engineering of the 499P includes the chassis, designed by Dallara. The car’s sleek, purposeful body incorporates aerodynamics developed in conjunction with the Ferrari Styling Centre, headed by Flavio Manzoni, under the direction of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of Ferrari’s sports car engineering department. Displacing 2,992 cc, the 499P’s twin-turbocharged 120° V-6 engine shares its architecture with the road-going Ferrari 296 and the 296 GT3 competition car. This powerplant is used as a fully stressed structural member in the 499P, with various reinforcements for this crucial role, while an electric motor driving the front axle delivers semi-permanent all-wheel drive.

The 499P Modificata debuted at the 2023 Ferrari Finali Mondiali at Mugello as a non-competitive, unrestricted, track-only variant of the race-approved 499P. As the ultimate track-day car for Ferrari’s top clients, the Modificata was never intended for the road. Freed of the restrictions dictated by racing regulations, the 499P Modificata is more powerful and makes fuller use of its hybrid assistance than its competition namesake is permitted.

The stunning 499P Modificata’s specifications begin with a nominal combined system output of some 707 PS, drawn from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre DOHC V-6 in concert with a 272 PS electric motor driving the front axle. At the touch of a button, the “Push to Pass” function releases 163 PS for up to seven seconds at full throttle, lifting total maximum output to a mind-bending 870 PS. Pirelli developed bespoke tyres for the car, using a tread compound derived from Formula 1.

The Modificata’s principal distinction from the Le Mans-winning 499P is its freedom from competition regulations. In World Endurance Championship competition, the 499P may deploy its front-axle hybrid system only above 190 km/h; the Modificata deploys it at any speed, delivering all-wheel-drive traction from the moment the car turns a wheel. It also features a “Push to Pass” system, unavailable in competition. Bespoke Pirelli tyres replace the race car’s Michelins, while the suspension, electronic controls, and engine mappings have been recalibrated to take advantage of the freedom from Balance of Performance restrictions. The cockpit and ergonomics, however, remain unchanged from the race car.

Ferrari introduced the Sport Prototipi Clienti program in 2024 to enable 499P Modificata owners to drive their cars at circuits around the world with direct factory support. Through the program, Ferrari provides maintenance, logistical support, and trackside technical assistance at dedicated events held alongside F1 Clienti and the XX Programme, with charges varying according to the event and services involved. The program debuted at Italy’s Mugello circuit in March 2024.

Presented in its original red livery, this 2024 Ferrari 499P has not been driven beyond factory shakedown running. Offered publicly for sale for the first time by its original owner, it presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire Ferrari’s track-only derivative of the Le Mans-winning 499P.

As with other examples, this car is expected to remain at Ferrari’s facilities in Maranello through December 2028, except if otherwise agreed with Ferrari. During that period, its new owner will have access to the exclusive Sport Prototipi Clienti program, with Ferrari providing maintenance, logistical support, and trackside technical assistance at dedicated events, subject to the applicable costs. This extraordinary ownership experience offers the opportunity to explore the performance of a Le Mans-derived hypercar, free from competition restrictions, on some of the world’s greatest circuits – with the expertise of the factory behind it.

This Le Mans champion ignores race control

On November 8, Gooding Christie’s will auction a one-owner Ferrari 499P Modificata in Geneva. The track-day version of the prototype that returned Ferrari to Le Mans glory 58 years after its last overall win is free of regulatory shackles and produces up to 870 PS.

All informations about the auction HERE at Gooding / Christie’s

Few marques are as closely linked to the Circuit de la Sarthe as Ferrari, yet the Italians had last celebrated an overall victory there in 1965. Expectations were accordingly high when the Prancing Horse returned to the top class at Le Mans for the 2023 WEC season, for the first time in 50 years. Unveiled in late 2022, the 499P ended Toyota’s winning streak at the first attempt and went on to win three times in a row. For a select group of customers, Ferrari offered a variant called the 499P Modificata.

The example offered in Geneva will remain in Maranello until December 2028. During that time, its new owner will have access to the Sport Prototipi Clienti program, under which Ferrari takes care of maintenance, logistics and trackside support. The Modificata isn’t road-legal, but on track days it puts virtually everything else in the shade.

Its hybrid powertrain combines a mid-mounted 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, which shares its architecture with the engine of the Ferrari 296, and a 272-PS electric motor driving the front axle. Combined system output is 707 PS, and at the touch of a button, the Push to Pass boost releases a further 163 PS for up to seven seconds. While regulations only allow the 499P to deploy its hybrid power above 190 km/h in the WEC, the Modificata has all-wheel drive at any speed.

Chassis ZFFYR51B000127416

Estimate CHF 70,000 – CHF 90,000

Car Highlights

Factory-Built Competition Version Developed for Ferrari’s Challenge Series

One of Approximately 270 Examples Built

Fitted with Competition Safety Equipment and Digital Instrumentation with Data Acquisition

Previously Owned by Swiss Ferrari Specialist Kessel Racing

Eligible for a Wide Variety of Ferrari Events

Ferrari established its factory-backed Challenge series in 1993 with the 348, offering amateur and semi-professional drivers a single-marque racing program. Introduced for the 2000 season, the lightweight 360 Challenge shed the 360 Modena’s air-conditioning, sound insulation, and much of its interior trim. It gained competition safety equipment, data acquisition, revised suspension, and larger front brakes. Although its 3.6-litre V-8 retained the road car’s 416 PS output, a weight reduction of approximately 130 kg helped sharpen its performance on track.

One of approximately 270 examples built, this 360 Challenge was owned, prior to the consignor’s acquisition, by Swiss Ferrari specialist Kessel Racing and during that period reportedly received a new clutch and gearbox. In current ownership, documented by an invoice on file, the car received a service in 2020 by Ferrari Modena Cars SA, including timing belts, tensioners, and fluids, totaling just over CHF 4,000.

With its documented specialist ownership, this 360 Challenge is an approachable factory-built race car allowing for participating in a wide variety of exciting events.

For sale – 2006 Ferrari F430 GTC

Posted on by

All details and more pictures HERE

The name Ferrari is synonymous with success at the Le Mans 24 hours throughout history. Ferrari have a long and illustrious history at the great race, including many outright and class successes. Theirs were the cars to beat in both GT and prototype classes throughout the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. From the mighty 375 MM, to the iconic 250 GTO and the fearsome 512 S & M models.

Ferrari’s dominance at the great race is not only limited to the past, but evident in present day. Until 2023, Ferrari’s last outright victory at La Sarthe was in 1965 with the 250 LM, but a return to top flight racing in the WEC saw a car of the Prancing Horse take overall honours once again, and in the centenary edition no less. In only their first season as a Hypercar entrant, Ferrari managed to take home the grand prize of a Le Mans victory whilst also managing to take home a GT win as recently as 2022. Indeed it is in the GT classes where Ferrari have specialised in recent decades. This successful chapter in Ferrari’s history really began with the Ferrari 430 GTC in the 2006 Le Mans, because whilst the 360 predated it, the model never quite brought home the silverware.

With the arrival of the F430 in 2006, Ferrari was about to enter a brand-new chapter in GT racing. Where the 360 Modena was an adaptation of the Challenge model for the N-GT class, the F430 GT had been specifically developed for the GT2 category. The car was meant for teams to race in the FIA GT Championship, the Le Mans Series (ALMS, LMS, Asian LMS), and of course the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours.

The F430 GTC was developed and built by Michelotto Automobili for Ferrari Corse Clienti. This successful partnership had already produced iconic race cars such as the F40 LM & GTE, 333 SP, & the 360 GTC. Like the 360, the F430 is built on an all aluminium chassis. The F430 GTC gave clients a big step forward in performance, from aerodynamic and mechanicl grip, to engine performance, handling and reliability. To make efficient use of the FIA/ACO rules, the was cut to 4-litres (vs 4.3-litres for the road car) to take advantage of FIA/ACO air restriction rules.

The F430 GTC proved extremely successful across the globe, winning both the FIA Manufacturer & Drivers Championships in 2006 & 2007, ALMS Manufacturers and Driver titles in 2007, the Sebring 12 hours (2007, 2009, & 2010), Le Mans 24 hours (2008 & 2009), Spa 24 hours (2006, 2008 & 2009) and Petit Le Mans twice (2008 & 2009), just to name a few. The F430 GTC remains as the first purpose-developed modern GT coming from Ferrari, paving the way for the successful 458 GTC and 488 GTE models.

This chassis started life in 2006 as part of the FIA GT Championship as part of the JMB team setup. The drivers for the season would be British GT champion Tim Sugden alongside Iradj Alexander.  The first round of the season was held at the iconic Silverstone circuit for the Tourist Trophy. After a positive 4th place in qualifying, the race would not bring the result that was desired by the team as the car came home 11th in class. However, it would not be long until 2424 would be met with success.

The second round of the FIA GT championship was the 500km of Brno. An improved qualifying saw the team start the 500km race in 3rd position in class. The pair of drivers would bring home a class victory driving 2424 against fierce competition, with the other podium positions being filled by Emmanuel Collard in a Porsche 997 RSR and Jaime Melo in the works-backed AF Corse F430 GTC.

Midway into the season, 2424 would arrive at the Circuit De Spa Francorchamps to take on the famous 24 Hours of Spa. With Michel Martin and Stephane Daoudi added to the regular season lineup, they set their sights on trying to win the most prestigious GT race in history. After a strong 5th place in qualifying 2424 would unfortunately retire before the end of the race. The remainder of the season would reflect the success shown at the start. With podiums coming at Paul Ricard, Mugello and Adria. 2424 would close out the 2006 season with five top 5 finishes in the final 6 races which includes the 3 previously mentioned podiums. JMB would finish the season 4th in the team standings.

After it’s racing career was over, 2424 went to Michelotto Automobili for restoration. Now eligible for the following historic racing series: Endurance Racing Legends by Peter Auto (including Le Mans Classic), Masters Endurance Legends, Gulf Historic, plus also the Club Competizioni GT series at Ferrari Corse Clienti events. Not forgetting the popular Daytona and Sebring Classic events in the USA of course.

The F430 GTC remains as the first purpose-developed modern GT coming from Ferrari, paving the way for its successful 458 GTE and 488 GTE successors.

Chassis 2480 was delivered in May 2007 to Brazilian owners and run by the famous JMB Racing team. Later in the 2007 season, 2480 competed in the Interlagos 1,000km where the car was driven by 2x Le Mans winning Brazilian driver, Daniel Serra. After a tough 1,000km, 2480 finished 13th overall and 6th in the GT2 class.

Following its contemporary career, 2480 began to compete in historic racing in the Endurance Racing Legends series in 2025. Now prepared by ERA Motorsport, it is a superb example of race ready machinery. Its step 5 engine has completed only 8 hours of running since being rebuilt, whilst the gearbox, driveshafts and differential have only done one event since rebuild, with the seat and belts being new. On top of this, crack testing was completed in 2026 and the fuel cell also remains in date. 

2480 presents the perfect car for historic racing. It is highly eligible for Endurance Racing Legends, Endurance Icons and Le Mans Classic, where the F430 GTC has proven to be the car to beat in its class.
