5,474cc DOHC 48-Valve V-12 Engine Electronic Fuel Injection 442bhp at 6,250rpm 4-Speed Automatic Transaxle 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Elegant and suitable Blu Pozzi over tan livery *Less than 19,200 miles and in current ownership for more than a decade *Powerful front-engined V12 Ferrari sports Coupe *Clean and elegant "no frills" Pininfarina design THE FERRARI 456 Have a flick through Ferrari's back catalog and you'll discover a rich vein of talent for creating superb front-engined V12 GTs. Think of the 1964 275 GTB or the 1968 365 GTB/4 Daytona for instance. Revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 1992, Ferrari had a surprise in store for the assembled press pack. The 456 GT marked a line in the sand for the great Italian marque. Gone was the excess and flamboyance of the 1980s, in its place a more studied, elegant approach to design. Acknowledged as one of Pininfarina's finest pieces of work, the aluminum coachwork was chemically bonded to a tubular steel chassis, and a new 48-valve V12 was brought in to power the flagship Ferrari. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Completed in November of 1997 at the Maranello-based Ferrari factory, s/n 10808 was delivered new to California in the spring of 1998. The new Ferrari was painted in the elegant Blu Pozzicolor (PPG#521) and trimmed in tan leather, just as it appears today. The car was one of just 403 GTA models made. The Ferrari remained in the Southern California area, until acquired by the consignor in 2007; a prominent Minnesota-based sports car collection and enthusiast. Today the 2+2 Coupe looks wonderful throughout and remains in largely original condition. The elegant original 5-spoke alloy wheels are wrapped on a set of appropriate Michelin Pilot Sport tires, offering excellent grip for high-speed motoring. With less than 19,200 miles on the odometer, it is a brilliant opportunity to acquire what is fast becoming one of the most sought-after Ferraris of the modern era. If further proof was needed of the 456's success, you'll find it in the fact that the car continued in production, unchanged except for the Modificata amendments, for eleven years before the 612 Scaglietti took over: a mark of how well-designed and engineered the fabulous 456 was in the first place.
