Product Overview
Ferrari 456M (Type 116) is a luxury 2+2 coupe in production from 1998 to 2003. It was powered by Ferrari's F116 naturally-aspirated V12 engine that displaced 5.5 liters paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
One of the last Ferraris that could be equipped with the company's iconic gated manual transmission, the 456M is an evolution (facelift) of the original 456. The number 456 denotes the cubic-centimeter displacement of each cylinder in the V12.
While by today's standards the 456M is not very powerful, it was more than sufficient for spirited driving at well above the speed limit. Combined with Ferrari's legendary sensuous styling and fantastic handling, the 456M is an excellent choice as a GT car.
