This valve belonged to the F399 car's aspirated V10 3-litre engine, capable of delivering 790 hp at about 16,300 rpm. A key component that contributed to the extraordinary performance of the Formula 1 single-seater driven by Eddie Irvine, Michael Schumacher and Mika Salo, with which Scuderia Ferrari won the Constructors' title in the 1999 Formula 1 World Championship. The valve is mounted on a pedestal featuring minimalist elegant lines designed by the Ferrari Style Centre and made of transparent methacrylate, a special polymer with outstanding durability and extra-clear – as clear as glass – appearing, making the item look as if it were floating. The vertical element, made of polished anodised aluminium brushed at different intensities and with anti-fingerprint treatment, lends depth and dynamism to the shadow cast by the piece. Created for collectors and enthusiasts who wish to own a fragment of Ferrari's spirit, each certified and authenticated Ferrari Collectibles piece celebrates the legendary Ferrari mechanics, symbol of innovation, craftsmanship and beauty. Born for speed, reborn for beauty.
