In Geneva, a Ferrari 499P Modificata was sold at auction for the first time. The buyer paid almost $10 million for the client version of the prototype that won Le Mans three times, even though it is not approved for competition or public roads. This is reported by Classic Driver.
Ferrari 499P Modificata: first auction sale

The Gooding Christie’s auction took place on November 8, 2026. The final cost of the car, including the buyer’s premium, was slightly less than $10 million.
The offered example has hardly been used. It is one of a small number of 499P Modificata produced, but the publication does not give the exact production total.
The model was created for private clients who can use it on race tracks as part of Ferrari’s factory program. This version is not intended to take part in races.
Sport Prototipi Clienti: track outings with Ferrari support

After the sale, the hypercar will remain in Maranello until December 2028. The new owner will be able to drive it as part of the Sport Prototipi Clienti program.
Ferrari undertakes the technical maintenance of the car, its transportation and support during track sessions. The program allows clients to test the prototype on international circuits with factory support.
