Ferrari 456
Debuting as Ferrari's flagship V12 2+2 grand tourer, the 456's 436-hp engine made it the most powerful road car from the brand at the time. It's now appreciated by collectors as a usable, analog GT that represents a compelling entry into front-engine V12 ownership.

The Ferrari 456 debuted in 1992 as the brand's flagship V12 2+2 grand tourer, replacing the 412. With elegant Pininfarina styling and a new 5.5L V12 producing 436 horsepower, it was the most powerful road car Ferrari had built at the time, outside of the F40. The model was updated in 1998 as the 456M (Modificata), featuring subtle styling tweaks and interior improvements.
Collectors appreciate the 456 as a relatively analog and usable front-engine V12 Ferrari. The 6-speed gated manual (GT) is the most desirable configuration, offering a more engaging experience than the 4-speed automatic (GTA). Its combination of performance, comfort, and classic pop-up headlights makes it a compelling modern classic.
With an average sale price of around $73,000, the 456 market remains accessible for a V12 Ferrari. Values are highly dependent on transmission type, service history, and condition. Manual 456M GTs sit at the top of the market, while automatic GTA models offer a more affordable entry point into V12 ownership.
Buying Tips
- Prioritize cars with recent and documented timing belt services; it's a costly, engine-out job on pre-M models.
- Inspect the leather dashboard for shrinkage and pulling, a common and expensive issue to repair.
- Check all electronics, particularly the notoriously slow power window regulators and the self-leveling rear suspension.
- Manual gearboxes are robust, but the automatic transmissions in GTA models can be a weak point; test for smooth shifts.
- Verify the pop-up headlights operate correctly, as the internal gears are known to fail.
