The Ferrari 499p will be an all-wheel-drive hybrid. A single 268-hp electric motor/generator powers the front axle (the power level defined by the regulations). The rear wheels receive power from a 670-hp twin-turbo V-6 engine. That output represents the maximum allowable in the class. A 900-volt battery mounts just beneath the 499P’s fuel tank.
The 3.0-liter V-6 is similar in configuration to the engine that powers the company’s new 296 road car, sharing its unusual 120-degree bank angle and its “hot V” arrangement with the turbos mounted in the engine’s valley. Chosen for its compactness, lightness, and low center of gravity, the V-6 also creates a nice marketing tie between the company’s road car and racing efforts. But [GT Track Development Chief Ferdinando] Cannizzo cautions that the 499P’s engine, which is a stressed part of the car’s structure, is an entirely new unit. The car’s numeric name is derived from the engine’s individual cylinder capacity, a traditional naming scheme Ferrari has periodically used. A pushrod-activated, double-wishbone suspension bolts to the carbon fiber structure. A brake-by-wire arrangement aids battery-replenishing energy recovery. The transmission is a 7-speed unit from Xtrac.
“This is our car,” says Cannizzo, “So we can optimize everything we want.”
THE FERRARI 499P IS A LE MANS RACER 50 YEARS IN THE MAKING [x]

It seems like Robert Kubica signed to AF Corse... which means that 3rd 499P is happening... which means there's 2 other seats for the taking...

I don’t understand the Charles Leclerc slander on twitter after the Le Mans win.
Like, has it escaped their attention that the reason he hasn’t achieved more with Ferrari was that the team has been bottling it for years? Dude has been performing miracles for them, and the F1 team has been negating them with bad race pace and tyre wear and awful strategies. Last year alone, team mistakes lost Charles a chance at a championship, more than his driving errors ever could.
Is it cuz he’s been crashing a lot? Which is not unlike Verstappen when he started getting a competitive car. Lewis also made a lot of mistakes before he settled down and started smoking the field and breaking records.
Ferrari had a huge milestone this weekend with the Le Mans win. Charles has nothing to do with it. The F1 team has nothing to do with it. It was a project years in the making. It’s such massive disrespect to the hypercar team and their drivers (BOTH SETS) to single out one person for the achievement, then bring other names in when mentioning their win.
