The new Ferrari 499P LMH Hypercar was designed to take part in the Endurance World Championship and has been officially presented with its definitive livery.
This footage was recorded at the Finali Mondiali Ferrari event at the Imola circuit. The highly tested and successful AF Corse Team will manage the debut season. Ferrari, therefore, returns after 50 years to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the first of the 499Ps will adopt the number 50 in the race to pay homage to this thing. The name 499P derives from 499, the unit volume of every single cylinder, while the P indicates “prototype”.
It is recommended to activate the subtitles when viewing the video for any further technical information. Parallel to the 499P, the 296 GT3 was finally shown to the general public, which will replace the Ferrari 488 GTE in the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023.
The car was entirely designed in Maranello while it will be assembled by the Oreca team, which will also assist the customer teams. Mechanically we say goodbye to the eight-cylinder engine. Instead, the 296 GT3 is equipped with a 3-litre V6 Turbo engine capable of developing 600 Hp and derived from the road version. Unlike the latter, it’s not equipped with a plug-in hybrid system to obtain the homologation regulations of the FIA. Enjoy!
