Ferrari presents the Sport Prototipi Clienti program, showcasing the Ferrari 499P Modificata, at an exclusive event in Mugello for the wealthy clientele of the Italian manufacturer.
The Ferrari 499P Modificata is an unrestricted variant of the vehicle that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Without the need to comply with regulations, like the Hypercar version of the 499P, the hybrid battery and engine can unleash all their power. Combined with the V6 internal combustion engine, this grants the car a total power of 870hp, surpassing the version that complies with Hypercar regulations.
The importance lies in the Sport Prototipi Clienti program. Ferrari’s wealthy customers have the opportunity to acquire a 499P Modificata. However, similar to Ferrari’s XX program for their road cars, customers cannot take the car home. Instead, Ferrari will dictate when and where the car can be driven, providing all necessary resources for track use, including engineers, spare parts, and tires.
The program will be officially launched in Mugello, alongside the F1 Clienti and XX Program, which share a calendar with the Sport Prototipi Clienti. This allows Ferrari’s “clients” to experience a variety of cars during the three-day event, from March 14 to 17.
Subsequently, the three programs will head to the United States, visiting Sonoma and Laguna Seca on May 12 and 13 and May 17 to 19, respectively. They will then return to Hungary for the new Balaton circuit from June 5 to 7, followed by a trip to Suzuka, Japan, from June 28 to 30. The journey continues in Europe, with stops in Paul Ricard, France, from July 31 to August 1, and Nürburgring, Germany, from September 6 to 8. Finally, the programs will conclude in Italy, at the Finali Mondiali, Ferrari’s racing season celebration, in Imola, from October 16 to 20.
