Ferrari Unveil The 499P Ready To Tackle Le Mans in 2023

Ferrari has unveiled its all-new 499P Le Mans Hypercar with which it will bid for general victory at the Le Mans 24 Hrs up coming time, for the first time in just 50 decades.

The world’s most popular sports automobile maker gave the historic new product its planet debut at Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali extravaganza at Imola, revealing a prototype that capabilities a clear nod to its stamina racing past as very well as a styling connection to its existing highway autos.

At the heart of the electrified equipment is a 3.-litre V6 with a pair of turbochargers and even though the motor black has the very same architecture as the engine from the 296 GTB, it is apparently “not the exact engine”.

A single 272 hp (200 kW) electric motor (generator) powers the front axle (the power level defined by the polices). The rear wheels acquire electric power from the 680 hp (500 kW) motor. That output represents the highest allowable in the class. A 900-volt battery mounts just beneath the 499P’s fuel tank.

Two 499Ps will be entered by the factory Ferrari AF Corse group in the 2023 Planet Endurance Championship, which incorporates Le Mans. The product will make its racing debut at the 1000 Miles of Sebring in Florida on March 17.

John Elkann, Ferrari’s govt chairman, reported: “The 499P sees us return to contend for outright victory in the WEC series. When we decided to commit to this undertaking, we embarked on a path of innovation and enhancement, faithful to our custom that sees the keep track of as the great terrain to push the boundaries of reducing-edge technological answers, answers that in time will be transferred to our road automobiles. We enter this challenge with humility, but acutely aware of a record that has taken us to in excess of 20 earth endurance titles and 9 all round victories at the 24 Hrs of Le Mans.”
