456M GT 

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 and all-round ability. 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.
