$129,953

The 1995 Ferrari 456 GT represents a fascinating chapter in Ferrari history, arriving during an era when Maranello still built grand tourers around traditional front-engine V12 architecture and the involvement of a manual gearbox. Unlike Ferrari’s more aggressive mid-engine supercars, the 456 GT was designed to deliver effortless high-speed performance with the comfort and elegance needed for long-distance journeys, all while retaining the unmistakable character of a Ferrari. Showing 30,621 miles, this example is finished in the sophisticated Blu Swaters exterior over a Tan Connolly Leather interior and is equipped with the highly desirable six-speed gated manual transmission. Additional highlights include a limited-slip differential, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, 17" five-spoke alloy wheels, and a Tubi Style Exhaust System that enhances the soundtrack of the naturally aspirated V12. With its Pininfarina styling, rare three-pedal configuration, and Ferrari’s legendary twelve-cylinder engine, this 456 GT offers an authentic driving experience that bridges the gap between a classic Ferrari sports car and a luxurious grand tourer.
