The 499P Modifcata: Turning Ferrari’s Le Mans Winner Into an 858-HP Track Day Hero

The Ferrari 499P made history by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023, a feat not achieved by the brand since 1965. Now, the new 499P Modificata offers a chance for a select group of customers to experience a modified version of this race-bred machine on the track.

The 499P Modificata is not intended for competition, allowing Ferrari to make adjustments that would be prohibited under Le Mans rules. For instance, the electric motor on the front axle can now operate at lower speeds, giving drivers more opportunities to utilize the all-wheel-drive system, instead of only being active above 118 mph (190 km/h) as mandated by the FIA regulations.

Nintendo Switch Achieves Impressive Sales Milestone in the US

Nintendo’s success in sales is noteworthy for multiple reasons. The price of AAA video games has consistently risen since 2000, as stated by ArsTechnica. Additionally, Nintendo games tend to be quite expensive. Even remastered versions of old games like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward cost a hefty $60.

The “Switch Tax” is a well-known phenomenon within Nintendo’s gaming ecosystem. One argument is that developers must invest significant effort and resources to adapt their games for Nintendo’s platform, yet the company charges a premium for its first-party games, capitalizing on the nostalgia associated with franchises like Zelda and Mario. Despite these financial challenges, Nintendo games and Switch consoles continue to sell exceptionally well.

According to the Games Industry Biz, the Switch has maintained strong performance in 2023, thanks to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, Nintendo benefits from a hardware cost advantage. The Switch Lite starts at only $199 and is ready to use at that price. Comparatively, the Xbox Series S starts at $249, but an additional expenditure is required for a screen to play games, while the PlayStation 5 starts at $400 for the digital-only version, also requiring extra purchases for peripherals.
