Ferrari 456

The Ferrari 456 marks the return of an elegant and discreet Ferrari V12 2+2, conceived above all as a grand tourer. Introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was distinguished by a design by Pininfarina, a central front-engine architecture and unprecedented comfort for a Ferrari at the time. In 1999, Ferrari upgraded the model with the 456M GT (Modificata), bringing aesthetic alterations, modernized electronics and reliability improvements. The GTA versions emphasize driving comfort, while the manual gearbox versions are today the most sought-after by collectors. The 456 line laid the foundations for the modern four-seat Ferrari GT V12, before being replaced by the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
