The car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P was Ferrari’s first foray into the newly created Hypercar class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, where it has won the fabled 24 Hours of Le Mans two years running. Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s reappearance in the elite class of endurance racing for the first time in 50 years.

The 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals. Per tradition, the church bells rang in Maranello, the historic home of Ferrari’s headquarters, to signal the #51 499P Hypercar’s victory at Le Mans. This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965.

The 2023 Le Mans Ferrari 499P is limited to 499 pieces per livery at 1:8 scale.
