<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/29987108@N02/55230921610/" title="Ferrari 499P - Car 83 Winner LeMans 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55230921610_747c87bba6_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Ferrari 499P - Car 83 Winner LeMans 2025" /></a></p>

<p>The Ferrari 499P (project code F255) is a sports prototype built by Scuderia Ferrari to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship in the Le Mans Hypercar category since 2023. The introduction of the 499P marks 50 years since Ferrari last fielded a factory-backed sports prototype that contested for the overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and one of the 499Ps raced with the number 50 as a tribute.<br />
<br />
The 499P was designed under the Le Mans Hypercar regulations, therefore it does not feature the standardised parts such as the ones found in cars designed to the Le Mans Daytona h regulations, which the 499P races against. However, the chassis is still manufactured by Dallara. The aerodynamics of the 499P were developed in conjunction with Ferrari's Styling Centre, headed by Flavio Manzoni, under Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of Ferrari's sports car engineering department.<br />
<br />
The car's 2,992 cc twin-turbocharged V6 engine architecture is shared with the Ferrari 296 and its Group GT3 counterpart, the 296 GT3. However, instead of being mounted to the subframe as in the road-going vehicle, the engine is a fully stressed member in the 499P, and has had various modifications to accommodate its new role as a stress-bearing member. The 499P has semi-permanent all-wheel drive, with an electric motor situated at the front axle, providing 200 kW above 190 km/h (as stipulated by the regulations), and is connected to a bespoke 900 V battery pack, with the ability to be recharged by Ferrari's own Energy Recovery System (ERS).<br />
<br />
2025<br />
<br />
Ferrari completed a hat trick of 24 Hours of Le Mans victories with the 499P at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans when the nr83 customer AF Corse car took victory with Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson at the wheel. Kubica and Ye became the first Le Mans winners from their respective countries, Poland and China. The factory Ferraris finished 3rd and 4th, however the 4th-place finishing nr50 was later disqualified due to a technical infringement. Despite mixed results post-Le Mans, Ferrari completed a dominant championship season with the 499P, ending the year occupying the top 3 spots in the standings.</p>
