Furlonger are pleased to offer this Ferrari 456M GT finished in the unmistakable shade of Tour de France Blue over a Crema interior. This 456M GT is well known to Furlonger having been owned by a long-standing client since its UK registration in 2016. The 456M, in its GT and automatic gearbox GTA guises, is the evolution of Ferrari’s highly successful interpretation of its traditional 2+2 models. First introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was the marque’s first car designed with the 21st century in mind and has been much appreciated by Maranello’s clients for the way it provides saloon-class comfort and roominess combined with class-leading performance. A true four-seater coupé, the 456 GT was also the first modern Ferrari to revert to a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with the gearbox in unit with the rear differential for ideal weight distribution as well as plenty of space for passengers and luggage. Originally penned by Pietro Camardella of Pininfarina, the 456 GT/GTA featured a distinctive and elegant design. The 456 sits upon a tubular steel space-frame chassis with a one-piece carbon composite bonnet and body panels of aluminium. The 456’s name like many of its predecessors denotes the cubic displacement per cylinder. Equipped with a 5.5L V12 which is surprisingly derived from that of the Dino V6 rather than a conventional V12, the 456’s power plant produces an impressive 436hp and can reach a top speed of 192 mph!
