The Ferrari 456 is a grand touring sports car produced by the Italian brand Ferrari between 1992 and 2003. This beautiful car is a 2 + 2-seater with a longitudinal front mid-engine and rear wheel drive. It’s two-door coupe body bears the signature of the Pininfarin studio. The 456 was first introduced at the 1992 Paris Motor Show and was later replaced in 2004 by the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
This classic Ferrari model has both anti-locking braking and traction control, and several body panels are made of aluminium. The gearbox can be either six-speed manual (456 GT) or four-speed automatic (456 GTA).
The name, 456, refers to the cylinder which displace 456 cubic centimetres. This was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention until the 488 GTB. Despite its exceptional performance, the Ferrari 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be very reliable. A later version of this engine was used in the front-engined Ferrari 550 Maranello grand tourer that was introduced in 1996 and which became the most powerful naturally aspirated Ferrari road-car, apart from the 456.
The chassis is a tubular steel space-frame construction with a one-piece composite bonnet and body panels of aluminium. The body panels are welded to the chassis by using a special “sandwich filler” called feran, which is laid between to enable the steel and aluminium to be welded. Pininfarina was responsible for the bodywork of the 456 until 1996 when production was moved to Ferrari. Total number of bodies made by Pininfarina amounts up to 1,435. All early cars have Pininfarina script and badge, whereas all modificatas only have the disegno Pininfarina scripts.
