Had three of them - the pre M version is really too old tech to take on IMO. The Modificato version through is a peach. Manual is a must as the auto box is pants.
Hi, I'm considering a 456. What is the biggest difference between the pre M and the M ?
Cheers,
@@institutmorningkiss The M had improvements in the suspension, engine management, and the interior was updated. Body stying changes included the deletion of the hood vents and the rear diffusor was fixed. Some people prefer the pre-M for looks, I prefer the M. In the USA, the M variant is OBD-2 so you can pull codes easily with a home scanner. I have the auto and it's a blast. I don't miss the manual in traffic, and I don't notice the auto when I am up to speed. However, if this is to be your only Ferrari then I can totally understand that you'd want the gated manual for the full Ferrari experience.
I owned a manual 456M manual, do so much home work you won’t buy one. Unless you are the sultan of Brunei and have 15 so at least one going.
Hi also considering the one 456 with automatic transmission unfortunately for personal reasons. Any ground breaking maintenance costs? What are immediate non obvious blockers to avoid car immediately? Thank you
That Ferrari 456 looks gorgeous in that green awesome video Sam
Just get this, Sam! This would look good beside the 360. Forget the jag 😉
Very cool car. That colour is fantastic. The maintenance would be the biggest cost and concern. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
I’ve always preferred this gentleman driver line of v12 Ferrari to the shouty look at me 599, 812 line.
I adore the 612.
As the proud owner of two of these wonderful cars here in Japan, I would say don't hesitate at all. They won't be affordable for ever, and this vid has already nudged the price up I'd say. Thanks for that. Great vid.
Nearly bought one exactly this spec (but tan leather) but got a Z4M Coupe instead - less cool, more usable. I did drive the 456 and despite being neglected I was really impressed! It felt like a Miata, really betraying its weight. And that V12 singing up the revs….
A truly stunning and somewhat under appreciated car. I can't see prices going much lower than £50k surely
I disagree I think that this overlooked model will soon sky rocket in price especially with the onset of electrification
@@sidneygriffiths5737 that's what I mean. I don't see prices going any lower. I'm almost certain that this will become a bonified classic.
@@duncanorr5926 do people not see what we see! The cars gorgeous!
Sam, we had CDs in 84!
Oi! less of the 1994 stuff, I'd been married 10 years by then and got a 8 yr old daughter, it wasn't ancient history.
1994: "They wouldn't have had CD's then" ... Why not? Cars still had CD players as late as 1994.
"....they didn't have CD's in 1994."
Uh, yes Sam, they did. That's why there is a player of said CD's in the car you are driving. From 1994.
I think Sam reckons 1994 must have been the year Marconi invented radio (perhaps the cassette player too). Oh youth!
CD invented about 1980 depending on sources.
You made me chuckle.
@@theonlymudgel First album on CD was 1982 too. For the most part (probably due to cost of players), they were not really seen for many of us until the later part of the decade, or even early 90's.
Could almost be in a 1970s Ferrari...
Just the way youre sat in the car is why pre-2010 cars are just the best. So much glass and interior space in a much smaller footprint car compared to modern
exactly. in my opinon, 1990-2010 was such an era. The last of the cars that really weren't designed around extra strict vehicle laws and celebrities who just buy them to flex, but they were manufactured on the cusp of the tech boom so they're the perfect mixture of a somewhat technologically advanced car yet still maintaining an analog driving experience.
But would you want to be in crash in one? I don’t think so, sometimes heads must rule the heart, ie. safety over looks.
@@magnustan841 lol i daily drove a car older than this with no traction/stability control or abs and I pushed it hard every day. Don't drive distracted and you'll be fine lol.
@@Vincetagram gotta disagree with you here. You never know if some lunatic is going to be barreling down the wrong side of the road, or if you hit an oil slick. For a daily it's a no brainer to have a modern, safe car
I bought a 456M GTA. I really love it! I stuck some 19" rims on it and it looks stunning! You should definitely consider it Sam!
18' inch max, R19 is tasteless, real deal is the oem r17 with big sidewall tires for maximum comfort.
@@r129r16pfl In your opinion.
@@Rascularvideos which I'm sure stems from him trying all three rim sizes on HIS 456...
I have a 1999 MGTA, love it. 15 minutes in Los Angeles traffic and I was grateful to not have a clutch. Once on the open road I don't miss rowing the gears. Plus I have two kids in the back! To top it all off this car is pretty DIY-friendly. I think the 550 rims or the NF2s with spacers is the pick for me.
Love the 456s. I took my wife and two children across to italy in mine in 2008🥰
Reminds me of the 406 coupe.
My dad had one in 96 and it was a great looking car at the time. 3.0v6. Could always see the car from a distance as was pretty much the only car on the road with xenons
That's no coincidence, both car designs were overseen by Lorenzo Ramaciotti at Pininfarina.
A beautiful spec this one, definitely a must buy for the garage.👍🇦🇺
Audio nerds say first commercial CD player was released in 1982. By 94 CD players at home were fairly common and increasingly popular in cars, either as a manufacture installed cost option or purchased aftermarket. Everyday’s a school day.
By 1994 we had 1st gen GSM mobile phones (following the TACS & E-TACS digitally controlled anolog mobile phone system) and in-car cd players were pretty common, I worked for a company called "Motolec Ltd" repairing car audio equipment from 1989-1996, self-employed since then I still repair some to this day.....
Sam, please PLEASE buy one!
I bought a 2010 V12 Vantage in January and my god having a V12 in your life is… as you say “A Vibe” 🤣
The 456 must be one of my all time faves. V12, stick, cheap. Yet it's one of the most beautiful cars Ferrari has ever built!
Totally agree, my all time favorite Fezza and affordable, soon gonna sky rocket in price I think 🤔
Strangely I like the interior but think the exterior is a bit bland and boring.
@@faisalleedsI think it’s prettier on the eyes in person . But I agree with you
Love the 456. I remember seeing the first one in my local dealer in the mid 90s. Stunning. It was TdeF with crema interior!
They where the fastest 4 seater cars on sale at the time. 186mph top speed. Always loved the 456 styling just bloody lovely.
Well not quite - but certainly the prettiest
@@nelsonclub7722 so what was the fastest at the time?
@@sidneygriffiths5737 Bentley Conti 2003 onwards at 208. TVR Cerbera Red Rose Straight 8 at 200+ (no-one was either stupid enough to find out or died whilst trying - I had the 4.0 Straight six and that thing flew). A de-restricted Mercedes S55 Brabus probably does not quite count. And nor should a BMW version of the M850i which can reach 198 mph after its limiter is removed. I had a Dino for a while but still secretly covet the 456 - have a good one
@@nelsonclub7722 think you'll find the 456 came out in 1992 so was indeed the fastest 4 seater at the time. 11 years prior to the Conti GT..
I think the 456 is one of the best looking 2+2 you can get. I hated the design of the FF and the GTC4 Lusso, but this 456 in green is BEAUTIFUL. Second close is the Scaglietti, but I would choose this one if I could afford one.
I’m sorry but unlike you and most of the other comments here I just can’t see what you guys like about the 456. While the spec on this one is nice, IMO this may be one of the most bland looking Ferraris that has been made. And once again I’m going to have to disagree with you on the FF and GTC4 Lusso, I quite like their designs for being 4-seaters
With your love for Ferrari's, Sam, your long term car collection should be exclusively Ferrari. I think this 456 GT would be a nice addition to that collection, especially with your points mentioned; last Ferrari with pop-up headlamps, V12, manual shifter, and your beloved British Racing Green paint. So the only unanswered question...what IS the maintenance record on this 456? -Lorne
Gratulation 🎊🎉🎈🍾 ❤️🚗❤️ the only Ferrari I would buy in Yellow
442PS - that's a lovely looking car with a great color combination!
Sam you need to do homework, CD's were in cars from around 1990 and as for the 350hp you are nearly 100hp short which might explain why it has more go than you thought. Nice car. Wheels were also 17's not 15's the sidewalls help the suppleness vs modern rubber bands over the rims.
Lovely car Sam! They are indeed really sweet pure grandtourers, reminds me of my dad’s E31 850csi, at the end of the day they are really similar creatures, both big V12’s, manual transmission, 2+2, pop un headlights, super clean designs and both created to eat roadtrip miles like they are nothing haha
That 456 would look incredible next to the 360, go for it!
What cool car to have next to a 360!!...just by the beautiful thing
ahh yes, quality ferrari content again! thanks STG!
If you put pictures of the 365 GTB/4 Daytona and the 456GT side by side from different angles, you see exactly what Pininfarina were trying to achieve :) The windows, the rear deck angle and tail lights, the hood vents (not on the M model, sadly) etc.
Still one of the best looking Ferraris.
Proper Grand Tourer Sam, in the best colour combination.
Good view out, comfortable ride, fast enough, perfect companion for a long journey.
You should go for it Sam. I am told that the engines are pretty much bombproof, but given that electrics are complex, a thorough pre-purchase appraisal by a Ferrari engineer -advisable!
Get a good one (which this might be) and you have a V12 Ferrari on a (relative) shoestring.
I aways remember the 456 being driven by the test driver on Clarksons motorworld italy .boooooom!
That was only a water pipe that burst.
Vicky: “what did you bring me back from your trip?
Sam: A Ferrari 456gt
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission so you might as well buy it. 👍👍
lol So true... I'm famous for making the statement " oh by the way I...." lol
As much as I'm uninterested in the Roma, I love this. Best looking V12 Ferrari.
The 456 is one of my favorite Ferraris.
Just discreet elegance.
The 456 came out in 1992.
It has 442 hp so about 90 more than you thought.
Hope you get one som day.
Keep up the good work.
That radio is a Sony XTC-U200RDS (relabelled Ferrari), I had the same in my Lotus Esprit from 1990 (!). That top right button says "CD". The bottom right toggle switch says "- DISC +" for switching CDs.... CD switching unit will be in the boot.
Sam! Yu shudda picked one of these Ferrari's up 3 years ago, when yes. you drove and made that video of a Blue 456 GT Manual in Latvia...one of those ones you talked about in the video going for 30-40k................
You know how you guys were talking about who you all look like?
Well as If Sam, you don't look like Michael Schumacher just without hair.
How have I never noticed this
Was expecting more “put an exhaust on it!” Comments. Lovely car. Do itttttt
£2k a year should run a good car. I've been running my 94 F355 for that on average the last 14 years. More on belt years, less on others. The 90's Ferrari's are my favorites.
@5:47 Saw you reaching for that paddle shifter Sam…😂
They were 442ps mate. Not slow at all. Top speed of 192 mph, 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds & 1/4 mile in 13.3 seconds at 107 mph.
If 350 bhp is correct, in 1994 it wasn't the most powerful Ferrari ever made. 70's Ferrari V12s were making 360+
Looks awesome! By the way, did Tony buy the Roma? 😀😂
No, it was just the usual clickbait.
@@paragonpaul9792 it really wasnt clickbait
@@sesto194 So he bought the car then ? No, he didn’t. So it was clickbait.
@Rib I You don’t just go in and buy the car you test drive. You order to the exact spec you want, which could take eight months to a year to arrive given the chip shortage. The title of the video was “Tony’s Next Supercar?” not “Tony Bought a Ferrari Roma” If my memory is correct, Tony also specifically said he would order from a local dealer back in England. Regardless, there was never clickbait. Sam merely posed the question as a way of involving viewers in the feelings associated with Tony’s test driving of a Roma.
@@danielclaudio5764 Riiiiiiiiiiiiight 👍 Otherwise known as clickbait 😉
The Ferrari 456 always reminded me of the Peugeot 406 Coupe (or vice versa)
Same design chap and company (Pinin')
@@paulthorpe766 Ahhhhhhh! :)
@@iandavidson99 ps Lorenzo Ramaciotti
Sam, I want to love the 456 and I too would love one to go alongside my 360 and Abarth, but sometimes when I squint my eyes a bit I see a Ford Probe and then my stomach starts to churn a bit…, do you experience this phenomenon?
CD's were introduced in 1982! I almost bought a 456 manual RHD around 4 years ago for £30k in great condition. Beautiful car but did absolutely nothing for me while driving, just felt like any other mid 90-'s luxury car and not that quick. It is very pretty but not pretty enough to justify 11mpg on 98 octane cruising from London to Monaco, seems like a waste of fuel. Great for weekend car shows but not for frequent use. If you must get a 'cheaper' V12 Ferrari the get a 400 or 412 as they have the Columbo V12, the same engine as used in the 250GTO & 275 / 330 / 365 a much more romantic and long term proposition.
Couldn't agree more 456 and 612 are torpid to drive and really quite slow - 400/412 much more of an event and a lovely silhouette too - T Cruise and his Italian girlfriend in Rain Man peddle one and John Bonham's (Led Zep) daily driver !
Shame it left hand drive,but it sure looks nice in green with magnolia leather and the manual box.
£65'000 and £4k a year to cover " issues " your all 👍
Sam! I know you think youre doing an accent.. but thats just how you sound! ;) 10:54
Love the colour!
Who remembers the old Top Gear video with Ferrari test driver where the engine blew up
'cheep' 'V12' and 'Ferrari' do not belong in the same sentence.
CD were popular in 1994
What a thing! Sam you know what you have to do. Forget the Conti GT, get this plus a world class coffee machine setup in the back…
Your 2 videos on the 456GT have inspired me to get my own, and it's green :D
Anyone notice the attempted flappy paddle shift at 5:46?
350hp? Are you informed at all?
peugeot 406 coupe behind you right ?
Sam, stop telling everyone about the 456, keep it a secret, i’m still saving up for one.
Prices have got to be going up soon. 😀👍🏻
You did not pop the headlights! :)
These 456 always reminded me of the Peugeot 407, its like a grown-up version.
beautiful omega speedmaster on your hands. complements the car very well
Why do you always wear the watch on the side where the camera is? Trying to attract sponsors like JWW on his watch?
I noticed that and I agree....
We got car CD players in 1984 sam...!
It’s bloody wonderful..you need one Sam ..perfect spec too ..well apart from been lhd ..but perfect for more continental trips .. I love them .as an x 360 owner I would..
Nice car. Been down those roads on my way to Mougins a few times
I like this much better than the 612.
Sam has the chrono going on his Speedmaster..... timing his drive in the 456??
Probably timing the video.
This fella was expecting it to drive like a 30 year old Corolla haha. Its still a Ferrari for sale in a show room. Bound to be a great car!
Great video to btw!
I still have one of those in dark blue. Just a model though from when I was a kid 😁
The successor of this (612) is so much better. Especially the looks 🥰
Didn't have CDs in 1994......lol
We will just ignore that CDs were common place in the 80s
By 1994 the playstation and Saturn were available and both cd based consoles.....far from the first too
I have always thought the 456GT one of the best looking Ferraris, second only to the 275GTB4. This is why I could not understand the comments made by the Car Trek trio. This car featured on the 1990s Top Gear Intro.
I’d go for it, it’s cool, sorta cheap, and in today’s market, you won’t lose a dime, in fact you might make something.

I’d LOVE to see something on the 612-Scaglietti. Such a forgotten gem.
It’s absolutely beautiful, but the 550 takes my heart
Yep, same here. I've done about 80,000 kms in 550's.
Before I bought mine new in verde Zeltweg with tan interior I met an Italian judge who had clocked already 90,000 km using it several times per week from Milan to Rome and back. I used in all Europe p.ex. Germany, Benelux, France, Italy, often in 3, many times up tp 290 km/h. Very stable at high speeds, very safe in rai , too, comfortable, 16 lt/100km. The interior is made of real Connolly leather in excellent craftsmanship. It was the most expensive Ferrari of its period. I did not like that rain dropped in the boot when the boot lid was open haha
I love the old Ferrari's. Not into the new ones at all.
"....they didn't have CD's in 1994." lol yes we did. We were also walking around with Sony walk mans. Everything was cd back in 1994
Also the cars back in 1994 were so much lighter than todays cars so there was no need for 600-800 hp. Unfortunately todays new cars have become numb boring tanks.
Ferrari made a video of them building the 456, which was to be the most luxurious Ferrari V12 ever. Extra effort went into every aspect of it. It had been conceived whilst Enzo was still alive & the guys wanted to build it in his memory.
The ownership experience is less satisfactory. The side-windows are frameless & noisy. I’m unsure whether this was ever sorted. From memory there’s something costly that was fixed in the Modificato version. The M fixed many of the bugs.
I’m a long-standing FOC member from 1982, & having been a member through the period the 456 arrived & was used, I’d say it didn’t really catch on. The 550 came out & is the V12 to buy! The interior & dashboard area of the 550 is just more dynamic than the bland 456!
My conversations on running costs suggest £5k pa on 456’s. It’s not a car to buy on a modest budget or if you don’t have a very well-paying job!
The Roma bought at 2 plus years old will make better sense due to high early depreciation but will have 5 years of Free Ferrari servicing left.
Quite right! 456GT really is a corker. Said in a nice way it makes the current crop of offerings look very poor indeed. Having driven these from new in period I can confirm that a fine example of this car would make for a glorious driving experience. Get one of these bought if you can. Thank you.
I remember driving down to Monaco for the 1994 GP in my Porsche SC Targa, wonderful car and drive, (just after Ayrton had died) and saw the 456 in St Tropez!! I agree with you Sam that they are lovely cars but not it seems loved by others as much!
Like u Sam, and ur channel but.......the car looks like a Popemobile. Touting it as the "cheapest V12" makes it about as appealing as an extra chapter in Boris Johnson's memoirs....I'd rather shit in my kettle....;)
Just wanted to add that the pick-up that you refer to...compared to your 360...is due to that V12 torque rather than the power available. V12s will beat atmo V8s out of corners all day long. Even a 550 will keep a 458 exiting a corner...for a while!
Would make a great matching pair with the F Type! 😉
No one is going to stop you from owning a v12. That's just not going to happen. You won't be able to buy a brand new one, that's for sure. But can you imagine a government trying to forcibly take away someones classic car?? Aint going to happen. Orrrr maybe lets keep talking this hysteria up! - It'll knock down the prices and we can all buy cheap classic V12s!! :)
Looks like a Ford Probe
It tops out at nearly 190mph so it's definitely not slow, what a stunning machine! 😍
Lovely car, but you already have an older Ferrari... LHD cars will be a nightmare back home. Nice video even if clickbait-ish 😉 CD changer may be in the boot, CD's have been around since the 80s
Yes CD players existed in cars everywhere in 1994 Sam! Making me feel old brother 🤣👌
Buy one! Buy one! Buy one! This has always been my dream Ferrari as I just love the shape and I was born in 1980 so remember when they were new! I think they just look so stylish and timeless in the design they don't make Ferrari's like that anymore. Even if I won the Euromillions jackpot it would still be the first Ferrari I bought (I'd just but lots of others too!) Actually I'm that sad that I would buy a manual and an automatic and I would have to get a modification one as well or whatever they called it the last one. Please Sam buy one! Ratarossa has one but it doesn't feature very often and his is how can i put this at the lower end of the market.
Loving the content as usual Sam. Keep it up, and much love from 🇦🇺
Sam, a '94 Ferrari has so nothing to do with a '70s Ferrari... Haven't you driven a And yes they had cd's in 94. It has 485hp of course its gonna perform. Switch off the tc. Other than that, nice car, good lad.
Its interesting how leonardo fioravantis design language has basically been carried over from the daytona through to inspiring many of td’s ferrari designs. Btw hes designed almost every significant car theyve made from that point on. Daytona, dino, bb, testarossa, 308 gtb, 288 gto, f40. Hes the father of ferraris design essence.
There is a reason they are cheap, you’ll find out.
As Iain Tyrrell said in his 456 video lately: '' You are paying supercar maintenance prices even if this 456 is relatively inexpensive ''
I would have said the 550 Maranello succeeded the 456.
No the 550 is a two seater. The 456 is a 4 seater or known as a 2 + 2. The 456/456M were built from 1992 to 2003 and was replaced by the 612 Scaglietti in 2004
The 550 is a 2 seat grand tourer that replaced the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The 550 was built from 1996 to 2001 and replaced by the 575M in 2002
Please get one! And take it on a road trip through the Bulgarian mountains (Borovets, Pamporovo and Bansko) down to those crazy monasteries on rocks in Northern Greece. Are you going to apply for Bulgarian citizenship? Lolz!
To paraphrase Bond...it's called a radio..
Anyways
It's a cute little box of fluffy little demons.
I mean ducks.
Buy it.
