Profile & significance

Ferrari’s dedicated card specifies rear-longitudinal 65° V12, 4,698.50 cc, 520 hp at 8,500 rpm, 471 Nm, six-speed, carbon-fiber monocoque, pushrod unequal-wishbone suspension, 245/35ZR18 and 335/30ZR18 tires, 4,480 × 1,986 × 1,120 mm, 2,580-mm wheelbase, 1,230 kg dry, 325 km/h and 0–100 in 3.87 sec. Pininfarina styled it; the engine concept was explicitly F1-derived. 349 road cars are generally recognized. Ralph Lauren’s Giallo Modena U.S.-spec car sold for $9.245 million in 2025; CLASSIC.COM’s benchmark is about $7.24 million. Fuel-cell age, carbon structure, engine-to-monocoque load path, clutch and bespoke electronics demand factory-level expertise.
