What are the technical characteristics of the Ferrari Hypercar?

In the name of the Ferrari 499P, P refers to “Prototype” and 499 to the unit capacity of the cylinders in cubic centimeters. Small and very light, the 6 cm2994 3° 120-cylinder engine has two turbos installed in the corner of the two rows of cylinders. Its gross power is 500 kW (680 hp), while the hybrid system housed on the front axle is an additional 200 kW (272 hp), but the technical regulations impose a cumulative power in real time less than or equal to 500 kW (before BoP).
