Nicolas (amanico) shares a captivating look back at the Ferrari 456, a grand tourer that left a lasting impression from its release. His personal reflections, accompanied by stunning photography, highlight the car's iconic design, powerful V12 engine, and the allure of its manual gearbox and red interior. This piece invites readers to appreciate the enduring appeal of a true automotive classic through the eyes of a passionate enthusiast.

I always had a soft spot for this car. I remember when it was released, the feelings I had when I first saw it in magazines, or in person. 

A big 12 cylinders engine, some cool lines, and a great interior, especially in red! 







The iconic manual gear box.





Which I personally find better an nicer than the automatic version: 





I must have something for red interiors...



All an era!



A thrilling GT! 

Best,

Nicolas

Occasionally still check the classifieds to see where they are these days. Would be a cool road trip round the world vehicle 😁🌏🀞🏻

They are not as cheap as they used to be, where you could easily commit without thinking twice πŸ˜ŠπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I particularly enjoy the three quarter rear view, pure class. The interior is quite cosy too, even if it suffers from the same issue as the 355 with the center console plastics melting in warmer climates (an easy fix but still).

Must be the most understated design of a post 60s Ferrari. I love it. The one thing that keeps me from getting too interested is the question about on what occasions youβ€˜d drive it. It’s too soft for a sports event, too uncomfortable to take the family out, too much of a diva as a daily driver… Still, Iβ€˜m tempted every time I see one.

...which, because it wasn't very popular, is 'affordable' as far as things go. Very similar style.
