The car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P represents the marque’s first venture into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and has since carried Ferrari to three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.

Winning DNA

Whilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.

New Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology

In defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.

Built on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.

Competition History

The Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.

The eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.

For the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.

In 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.

Ferrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.

Lone Star Le Mans, 1st of September 2024

This model of the Ferrari 499P is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the #83 AF Corse Hypercar raced to victory by Robert Kubica, Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye in the Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of the Americas on the 1st of September 2024. Kubica qualified the #83 second on the grid, behind only the #51 Ferrari AF Corse of Antonio Giovinazzi, giving the Italian marque a great opportunity of victory if they could manage the full six-hour race in the searing heat of Texas. A strong start by the two Ferraris maintained their positions off the line, whilst the #50 Ferrari of Miguel Molina rapidly rose from fifth to third, ensuring an early-race Ferrari 1-2-3 after just half an hour. However, just five minutes later, Giovinazzi allowed Kubica to pass, releasing #83 into the lead as the cars digressed strategies, Kubica beginning a remarkable triple stint. Disaster struck for the #51 as a spin at Turn 12, whilst attempting to lap the #94 Peugeot, ultimately retiring before the two-hour mark after struggling to restart and return to the pits.

Completing his triple-stint, Kubica promptly handed over to Ye, who skilfully defended against a fast-approaching Nick De Vries in the #7 Toyota that had seen phenomenal progress from ninth on the grid. De Vries would eventually pit and undercut the #83, handing the Toyota over to Kamui Kobayashi for the final stages of the race. Ye concluded his two stints before passing control of the #83 to Shwartzman, who regained the lead through the driver change stops. The Toyota again undercut the Ferrari during the next round of pit stops; however, drama ensued when Kobayashi was penalized with a drive-through for failing to slow sufficiently under yellow flags while the stranded Peugeot 9X8 of Paul di Resta was being recovered. This penalty allowed Shwartzman to regain the lead, which he fiercely defended against Kobayashi to secure victory by just 1.78 seconds. The #50 Ferrari would complete the podium, a further 25 seconds back.

The #83’s success ensured a sixth different winner in six very competitive WEC rounds, and the margin of victory marked the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. Notably, the yellow #83 AF Corse became the first privateer Ferrari to win an internationally recognised sportscar race for over 50 years, also on a day when the Italian marque celebrated winning its home Formula 1 Grand Prix at Monza.

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

What is silence? Something of the sky in us.
Format: Paperback
Maybe the best poetry collection I've ever read. I rarely enjoy an entire collection. I usually like individual poems or even individual lines within a poem. Deaf Republic is a masterpiece. If I ever meet Ilya Kaminsky in real life, I might cry.

Worth the hype on NPR that led me here--I've found my new favorite book!
Format: Hardcover
As an Asian-American creative, I knew I'd love this when I first read a positive review for this online, and I was not disappointed once! The perspective is so unique--a Chinese girl in 1800s Georgia!--and the writing's mesmerizing. I wished this book could never end, and LOVED it for so many reasons: The quick version: -Have you ever read anything about Chinese-Americans living in the Reconstructionist South? Thought not. This book provides such a necessary historical lens into highly underrepresented people and untold stories--and does it with remarkable talent and grace. This alone is worth heavy consideration. -Jo is a protagonist you can't help admiring - she's witty, a nonconformist by circumstance and by choice, and unafraid of getting back a little (or a lot) at people who've done her wrong. -The narrative voice is unlike any I've ever seen before ("Mischief dangles from his smile") and there are great humorous moments. -Great pun one-liners here and there - even Yours Truly, who admits to hating puns, likes how they're done here. -A wonderful and dynamic supporting cast, including Jo's wry adoptive father, a socialite who reveals her cleverness with pepper, an enigmatic Southern Belle who becomes Jo's employer for the second time, and a stout-of-heart black boy that'll melt your cold dead heart. Also a very enthusiastic herding dog. -A climax that honestly almost moved me to tears from the poignancy, but also the deep symbolism of how Jo's actions come to stand for so, so much more in those several pages. -If you like to learn cool new words, you'll definitely learn a few by reading this. -On a personal note, I was ecstatic to find references to Chinese knotting and barley tea, which I've grown up with, but never encountered in print before. Stacey Lee isn't afraid to show how difficult it was to be Asian-American in post-Civil War Georgia: In the opening scene, Jo is fired from her job at a hat shop because of her ethnicity. Due to the Chinese Exclusion Act in effect at the time, Jo and her adoptive father are legally not US citizens and cannot even own land or rent; they're forced to live secretly as squatters in the basement of a family who prints a struggling local newspaper. We also see realistic depictions of other social issues, like the initial implementation of segregation laws (which confuses Jo and her father, as they're neither black nor white), the erecting of Confederate statues, calls for women's suffrage (as well as the emergence of modern bicycles) treated with derision by many women who think the idea foolish, and white suffragists rejecting black women who support their ideals. In all seriousness, get this book. If you have kids, get this for your kids. I rarely write book reviews, but I'm breaking the pattern because this novel is THAT good. Come for the incredibly unique historical perspective that's surely the first of its kind ever published and shines a spotlight on sorely underwritten stories. Stay for Jo's incredible strength, role model-ism, one-of-a-kind journey, and how her story reminds us all not just of the power of devastatingly clever puns, but the power that words give all of us in finding who we are and making the world a better place.

"Luck rides a horse named Joy"
Format: Kindle
What a delightful book! I was constantly rooting for the protagonist, Jo. She grew up without a true mother or father but found guidance and love with a Chinese man named Old Gin. They both found work with an aristocratic family as servants, while living secretly in the basement of a printing company. It was there that Jo learned to read and write through listening to the family who owned the printing press upstairs. She discovers the paper they publish, The Focus is in trouble and decides to help them out by secretly writing a column under the name Miss Sweetie. An adventure begins and secrets are revealed, but Jo emerges as a local hero as a result. I loved the author's prose and they way she incorporated Chinese anecdotes. I laughed out loud and cried in equal measure. It is a story about overcoming the struggle of race and poverty, but also about love and fighting for what you believe in. I highly recommend if your in the mood for something uplifting to read.

Excellent historical novel during the Gilded Age
Format: Hardcover
During the late 1800's Jo Kuan lives with her stand-in father, Old Gin, in a basement. She works as a milliner's assistant until she is let go one day because her employer deems that she is too opinionated and makes customers uncomfortable. However, there is one customer, Mrs. Bell, who admires Jo's craftmanship making intricate knots, which happens to be the lady who resides in the same residence as Jo. However, Mrs. Bell doesn't know Jo and Old Gin take refuge below the residence. Jo is given the opportunity to write as Miss Sweetie for the Focus's advice column when she sends an anonymous letter to the Bells. Miss Sweetie creates a huge buzz in her community. Jo anonymously writes articles regarding societal norms during the Gilded Age time period. What a great opportunity for someone who is "too opinionated." While she works as a lady's maid at the Paynes household during the day, she moonlights as Miss Sweetie at night. Stacey Lee tells a wonderful and insightful story of what it means to be Asian in the South of the United States in the late 1800's. I am always delighted to read historical fiction with characters I can relate to. I often wonder how life was for Chinese-Americans in the past. There is hardly any information about the history of Chinese-Americans living in the United States and how life was for them. Lee is one of my favorite historical fiction novelists. Her characters are relatable and I love being transported to a different time period and a different location every time I pick up one of her books. I absolutely love the voice of Jo. She is sassy but she knows her place. Jo is an advocate of women's rights and equality for all races. Being of Chinese descent, she teeters in between Whites and Blacks. It's hard to find a place in society, especially since there are not many Asian people living in the United States at the time. Most Chinese in the States at the time are men working on the railroad. Jo is longing to know more information regarding her parents. Who is her birth father? Who is her birth mother? Why was she given up? Jo is fortunate to have Old Gin raise her. The twist at the end caught me off guard for sure. Although Jo may feel out of place, she has Old Gin as her family. I also enjoyed reading how Jo finds solace in Sweet Potato and she finds friendship with Noemi. Jo even has a complex relationship with Caroline Payne, who can be very cruel. The Downstairs Girl shows readers a glimpse of the Gilded Age and what is it like to live as an Asian American during that time period. Jo defies the stereotype of Asian women being docile and quiet. Not only does she defy the stereotype for Asian women but she defies the gender stereotype of being a lady. Jo is quite capable of doing what a man does and she is quite outspoken. From writing in a newspaper to horse racing, Jo can do anything!

A story of someone who refuses to settle for less
Format: Hardcover
Stacey Lee takes you into a world you’re probably familiar with if you paid any attention in your U.S. History class and helps you see it in new ways. Most of us are familiar with the agonies of post reconstruction era South, but few stories shine a spotlight on the Chinese laborers who were shipped in by Southern plantation owners to replace emancipated slaves. This is the world seventeen-year-old Jo Kwan lives in. Much of Jo’s life is lived in secret. She can’t rent, let alone own, property, so she’s forced to live with her uncle in the basement of a white family who owns a failing newspaper. She can’t interact directly with the white patrons of the hat store because her boss says she makes the customers “uncomfortable.” She can’t even participate in the growing Suffrage movement because the women are only concerned with advancing the rights of white women. What’s a strong, opinionated girl to do? Start an advice column. She starts submitting columns to the paper under the pseudonym Miss Sweetie and immediately attracts attention, both good and bad, from Atlanta’s high society. Through the column, Jo finds her voice and an outlet to express views on her segregated and chauvinistic society. The more freedom she experiences, the more she wants and soon she is uncovering secrets of her past that threaten to ruin her. The Downstairs Girl never lets the reader forget how crushing life was for Chinese and Black Americans during this time, but the book isn’t a downer. Mostly this is due to Jo Kwan being such a spirited and sympathetic character. Her story is one of someone who refuses to settle for less and it’s fun watching her get the best of some of her antagonists. Lee’s writing is also witty and engaging, filled with the kind of southern colloquialisms that help transport the reader to this time and place.
