Designed to combine high-performance driving with luxury and comfort, the 456 GT became one of Ferrari’s most refined and powerful 2+2 models of its era.By the late 1980s, Ferrari’s lineup had become increasingly focused on mid-engine supercars like the Testarossa and F40, while its front-engine 2+2 models, such as the Ferrari 412, were aging and in need of a successor. Ferrari recognized the demand for a modern grand tourer that would blend performance with usability, targeting customers who wanted both V12 power and long-distance comfort.
Under the direction of Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, the company sought to revive the classic grand tourer formula, but with a contemporary edge—resulting in the Ferrari 456 GT, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1992.
Some of the key design elements included retractable headlights, hidden air intakes, aluminium body panels mounted on a steel tubular chassis all with a wind-cheating focus on aerodynamics.
We are pleased to offer this stunning 456 GT. Finished in Bianco over Nero Conolly Leather, this 90’s Ferrari powerhouse is nothing short of the ultimate grand tourer. One of only a limited number produced for right-hand drive markets, it is an exceptional find.
At the heart of the Ferrari 456 GT is a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 , a brand-new engine at the time that had no direct connection to previous Ferrari V12s. Performance is sheer supercar – 440hp delivering 550Nm of torque from 4,500 rpm, with a 5.0 second 0-100 sprint and top speed of 309km/h – making it the fastest 4-seat production car in the world at the time.
Power is transmitted through a six-speed gated manual transmission, with a true analogue feel almost forgotten today. Coupled with a rear-mounted transaxle, weight distribution is a near-perfect 50:50 balance—enhancing handling and stability at high speeds.
The Ferrari 456 is an underrated gem in the classic car market. With classic Ferrari V12 performance, stunning Pininfarina styling, and rarity as a right-hand drive model, this 1998 Ferrari 456 GT is a true collector’s gem. Whether for investment, weekend drives, or long-distance touring, this Ferrari is a timeless statement of automotive excellence.
