| Ferrari 456 GTA 1997 |
Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M are front-engined ‘Grand Tourers' in the true tradition, and were an overdue replacement for the outdated front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium four-seat V12 car for some years. The name 456 refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimeters and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit.
It's looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grill with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops (removed on the 456M), a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65 mph and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.
