499Pis a brand newLe MansThe name of the Ferrari supercar will be taken from2023FIA debutWECUsed in high-level competitions, the name recallsPrancing horseManufacturer history. This was Ferrari’s last participation inLe MansCompetitionXXReturn after the year. Given the nameP.Representing the prototype, many of the car’s parts (which have undergone countless hours of air duct testing) are likely 3D Printed. But one thing is certain: the steering wheel was prototyped in several iterations using additive manufacturing.
Four-wheel-drive prototype meets hybridLe MansTechnical regulations and requirements at supercar level to deliver maximum power to the wheels 500 kilowattspower, minimum weight not less than 1,030 Kilogram. in the definition 499P the company used Maranello The brand’s vast technical, professional and talented resources entrust its management to GT sports activities,exist Antonello Coletta under the direction of Ferdinando Cannizzo Under the technical supervision of GT Department of Racing Engineering and Development.
But the steering wheel is one of the most complex elements of the entire car. he has 500 Multiple components, requiring in-depth development. Ferrari GT competitions vehicle control engineer Bénédicte Prioulin ferrari 499P The whole process is explained in this video on the official website:
Prioul explain : “499P The story of the steering wheel begins 296 GT3 flying, we have to reimagine everything, from 3D From design to layout, and the functionality and electronics behind it. when we turn 499P At that time, it was necessary to integrate the dashboard into the steering wheel. It would take a year to a year and a half to develop such a steering wheel, and it would also require further optimization iterations. “
Ferrari 499P Using a new carbon fiber monocoque chassis, it represents a cutting-edge solution for motorsport technology. The double wishbone pushrod suspension geometry results in excellent damping stiffness, the benefits of which are evident at top speed and when cornering.
The electronic system is based on GT Developed by drawing on the experience gained in the world of motor racing and innovating further. Equally complex is the braking system, which incorporates an electric braking system to recover kinetic energy via the electric front axle when braking. The system was developed to combine precision and responsiveness with reliability and durability, complementary aspects which are one of the keys to success in enduro racing.
The electric front axle uses energy recovered during braking, stores it in a high-voltage battery, then transfers torque to the front wheels when it reaches a certain speed, helping to improve the car’s performance on the track.
