Ferrari at Le Mans with 499p. The two motors, the batteries: how the hybrid ‘beast’ works

To return after 50 years to racing in the Premier Division of the 24 Hours of Le Mans starting this Saturday (Hypercars) there Ferrari needed a private car. The past few months have seen our entire team work hard in anticipation of this appointment: now is the time to take our 499Ps to the track that, more than anything else in the world, is the essence of endurance racing. In previous rounds of the WEC, the World Endurance Championship, the Maranello team has achieved several podium finishes. We are going into the 24 Hours with the ambition of taking a place on the podium,” said Antonello Coletta, Head of GT Sport Activities at Ferrari. Cavallino made his Le Mans debut in 1949 with the 166 mm Barchetta Touring, also taking his first overall victory. Last post dated 1973 with 312 PB.
