Ferrari's XX Programme has long served as the marque's most exclusive engineering laboratory for private clients, and the 499P Modificata, unveiled in late 2023, marks its most technically ambitious chapter yet. BBR Models has captured the car's 2023 launch specification as a 1:18 resin scale model, presented in the no-compromise Rosso Corsa livery that Ferrari chose to introduce the Modificata to the world. The result is a shelf-ready piece measuring approximately 26 cm in length, housed in an included display showcase.
Le Mans Technology in Client Hands
The Ferrari 499P Modificata shares its core architecture with the 499P LMH that returned Ferrari to Le Mans outright victory in 2023 — the marque's first since 1965. At its heart sits a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine paired with a hybrid electric motor, the same powertrain configuration used in the FIA WEC-specification racer. The Modificata is built exclusively for private track use under Ferrari's XX Programme and carries no homologation for any racing series; it exists purely as a client driving tool at Ferrari-organised events, continuing a lineage that stretches back through the FXX K Evo.
Number 24 and the Definitive Rosso Corsa Presentation
Ferrari selected the Rosso Corsa, white and black colour scheme as the hero presentation for the Modificata's 2023 reveal, assigning race number 24 as a stylistic reference for the launch car. The graphic language is consistent with XX Programme and Ferrari Classiche visual identity — understated by modern hypercar standards, yet instantly identifiable. Because the Modificata is not a competition vehicle, number 24 carries no race history and is not linked to any specific driver; it is simply the configuration Ferrari deemed definitive enough to show the world first.
BBR Models: Italian Resin Craft at 1:18 Scale
BBR Models, based in Italy, specialises in hand-crafted resin replicas at 1:18 and is one of the few makers whose production quality matches the complexity of modern aerodynamic bodywork. Resin construction means the body is a fixed, sealed unit — detail is concentrated on external surfaces: the LMP-style diffuser, roof intake snorkel, bespoke aero package and layered Rosso Corsa livery graphics. This is BBR's 1:18 interpretation of a car that did not exist before 2023, making it the first opportunity to own the Modificata in this scale from a specialist Italian maker. A display showcase is included in the box.
In the Display Cabinet
At approximately 26 cm long, this 1:18 model occupies a meaningful footprint on any shelf — plan for around 28–30 cm of clear depth to account for the wide aero package. The included showcase keeps the intricate livery graphics and fragile aerodynamic elements dust-free from day one. Natural companions in a Ferrari collection at this scale include the 499P LMH Le Mans 2023 racer and earlier XX Programme subjects such as the FXX K Evo, creating a coherent narrative of Ferrari's track-only hypercar programme across the last decade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:18 scale model?
The Ferrari 499P Modificata measures approximately 4,671 mm in length, which translates to around 26 cm for the 1:18 scale model. Allow roughly 28–30 cm of shelf depth to accommodate the wide aerodynamic bodywork comfortably.
Does the model have opening parts?
No. BBR resin models are typically sealed one-piece constructions with no opening parts. All detail is concentrated on the exterior surfaces — aerodynamic bodywork, diffuser, roof snorkel and livery graphics.
What material is used and who makes it?
The model is hand-crafted in resin by BBR Models, an Italian specialist manufacturer known for high-fidelity replicas of Ferrari road and track cars at 1:18 scale. Resin allows finer surface detail than diecast on complex aerodynamic forms.
What is the Ferrari 499P Modificata's connection to Le Mans?
The 499P Modificata shares its platform and 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain with the Ferrari 499P LMH, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright in 2023. The Modificata is not a racing car — it is an XX Programme track-day derivative built for selected private clients.
