Want to own a piece of Ferrari history? Now you can with the Ferrari 499P Modificata.
Ferrari took their first overall win at Le Mans 2023 for over 50 years with the 499P.
And, with that glory fresh in fans’ minds, that winning car has just spawned a “Modificata”.

The Ferrari 499P Modificata, which is Italian for ‘modified’, was revealed at Mugello Circuit.
That was during Ferrari’s 2023 celebration of its customer racing programme, Finali Mondiali.
And yes – you can actually buy it.



Long story short, the Ferrari 499P Modificata is essentially a copy of the Le Mans winner.It was developed by the prancing horse brand’s new Sport Prototipi Clienti programme.
The exterior is identical to its Le Mans counterpart.
The interior also twins the racer with a single-seat and race steering wheel.
But don’t expect this copy to be a bargain – even if you can use crypto as payment in the US.


Cheap, the Ferrari 499P Modificata certainly is not.
The “strictly limited-series track car” clocks in at a cool $5.6 million.
What’s more, unfortunately you’re not going to get the thrill of a race either.
Ferrari has been explicit that the rare prototype is exclusively for non-competitive track use.
To really put the beauty through its paces “very select clientele” will have to hire a track privately or attend one of Ferrari’s special events.



Included in the package of buying the racer, Ferrari will transport the car to each of the circuits within the Sport Prototipi Clienti programme.
The owner will also receive track-side assistance and maintenance.
Being free of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile‘s (FIA) regulations, it’s had upgrades to its chassis, interior and powertrain.
The original 499P race car was limited to an overall output of 671bhp.
However, the Modificata boosts this to 846bhp.



But the three-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 engine derived from the Ferrari 296 GTB supercar remains the same.
Power comes via a seven-speed sequential transmission.
Shock absorbers, springs and anti-roll bars have been fettled to offer more a predictable drive for “gentleman drivers”.
FIA regulations dictate that the 499P can’t activate its front-axle electric motor at speeds under 118mph.
However the Ferrari 499P Modificata’s allow for all-wheel drive at all times.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
