The Ferrari 456M GT was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1998, with the “M” standing for Modificata. Compared to the original 456, Ferrari introduced a series of updates aimed at improving aerodynamics, cooling and interior refinement.

The 456M received new seats, revised door panels, an updated dashboard and a Becker radio. Externally, the model was refined with new fog lights, revised pop-up headlights, a new front grille and a redesigned carbon fibre bonnet. Unlike the earlier 456, which featured an adjustable spoiler, the 456M was fitted with a fixed chassis spoiler.

Its aluminium body was designed to be aerodynamic, efficient and unmistakably elegant. Inside, the 456M offered an ergonomic and highly comfortable cockpit, combining long-distance usability with the class expected from a Ferrari grand tourer. It was also one of the final Ferrari models to feature the legendary pop-up headlights.

Mechanically, the 456M GT is powered by Ferrari’s 5.5-litre V12 engine, producing 442 hp. In period, it was considered one of the most powerful 2+2 sports cars of its generation and was capable of exceeding 300 km/h. This example is equipped with the desirable 6-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, only 657 left-hand-drive manual 456M models were produced.

This 1999 Ferrari 456M GT is in superb condition. It is a Portuguese-delivered example, sold new through official Ferrari dealer Viauto, and comes with all manuals and its service book.

The car is presented in an elegant combination of Grigio Titanium over a two-tone Connolly full leather interior in Light Grey and Black, complemented by grey upholstery.
