Discover the exclusive Ferrari 499P Modificata in Singapore – a track‑ready hybrid hypercar born from Le Mans triumphs. Learn its specs and claim a glimpse of ultimate performance today!
When Ferrari returned to the top tier of the World Endurance Championship in 2023, the Scuderia clinched three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. To celebrate that historic feat, the Italian marque unveiled the ultra‑exclusive Ferrari 499P Modificata – a road‑legal, hybrid hypercar that pulls directly from the race‑winning Le Mans machine.
From the Circuit de la Sarthe to Singapore’s Streets
The Modificata is available only to members of Ferrari’s Sport Prototipi Clienti programme. A single unit recently arrived in Singapore, where it turned heads with its unconventional matte‑blue finish and the racing number “11”. Unlike the classic red or classic yellow liveries associated with Ferrari, the subdued teal hue underscores the car’s bespoke nature.
Carbon‑Fiber Monocoque and Push‑Rod Suspension
At its core, the Modificata retains the carbon‑fiber monocoque chassis of the 499P race car. Paired with a push‑rod suspension and a brake‑by‑wire system, the chassis delivers razor‑sharp rigidity while shaving weight and maximising energy recovery during braking.
New 18‑Inch Pirelli Tyres
While the factory race version runs on Michelin slicks, the Modificata is fitted with a brand‑new 18‑inch Pirelli tyre line designed for high‑performance road use. The compounds provide a responsive feel and ample grip for drivers who aren’t professional racers but still demand track‑ready confidence.
Aerodynamics Built for Downforce
Every curve of the bodywork is sculpted to generate maximum downforce. Wide wheel arches reduce airflow pressure, while a dual‑element rear wing stabilises the car at extreme speeds, keeping the front end planted on the tarmac.
Racing‑Style Cockpit
The interior mirrors the single‑seat layout of a true prototype. Carbon‑fiber surrounds the driver, and the cockpit retains the exact ergonomics and instrument cluster of the Le Mans competitor, giving owners a genuine race‑car experience every time they sit behind the wheel.
Hybrid Powertrain – 870 HP on Tap
Under the hood sits a mid‑mounted 3.0‑litre V6 producing 598 hp, coupled with a 272‑hp electric motor mounted at the front axle. An 800‑volt battery pack supplies instant torque, and unlike the standard 499P—where electric drive engages only above 190 km/h—the Modificata delivers all‑wheel drive from standstill.
Push‑to‑Pass Boost
For that extra burst of speed, the car features a “Push‑to‑Pass” button. When pressed while the driver is at full throttle, an additional 163 hp floods the system for up to seven seconds, mimicking the overtaking aid used in endurance racing.
Exclusive Ownership and Pricing
Just like Ferrari’s other track‑only customer cars (the 599XX, FXX and FXX‑K), the 499P Modificata may only be driven at specially sanctioned events. All maintenance and technical support are handled directly by Ferrari, ensuring the car remains in pristine, race‑ready condition.
Industry whispers place the base price north of US$5.4 million. With bespoke personalization options and the cost of ongoing servicing, the total ownership package could approach US$10 million.
Why It Matters
The Singapore‑based Modificata is more than a collector’s toy; it’s a tangible bridge between the world of prototype endurance racing and the ultra‑exclusive road‑car market. For enthusiasts who crave the thrill of Le Mans without the constraints of a pure‑track car, this Ferrari offers a rare glimpse into the future of hybrid hypercars.
