1995 Ferrari 456 GT Coupé Coachwork by Pininfarina Chassis no. ZFFSD44S000101039 •Supplied new to Switzerland •74,798 kilometres from new •Only 200 kilometres covered since July 2015 •Registered in Switzerland Fußnoten Not since the 412's demise in 1989 had Ferrari offered a '2+2' and when the 456 GT debuted at the Paris Salon in October 1992 it was obvious that the long awaited newcomer eclipsed all Maranello's previous four-seat Grand Tourers. Although new from stem to stern, the 456 GT incorporated elements familiar to generations of Ferrari cognoscenti - front-mounted four-cam V12, rear transaxle, tubular steel spaceframe chassis and all-independent suspension - while making an appearance for the first time were electronically-controlled adaptive suspension and a six-speed gearbox (there was also an optional automatic). Essentially a de-tuned version of that powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442bhp at a lowly 6,250rpm, yet remained smooth and tractable from idling speed to red-line thanks to its state-of-the-art engine management system. F40 excepted, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that time, yet despite delivering supercar performance this relatively unstressed engine has proven to be very reliable. For the 456 Pininfarina worked its magic once more to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Although bereft of extraneous aerodynamic devices, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum of around 190mph (305km/h), a figure that made it the world's fastest production four-seater passenger car. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's farsightedness in creating one of most successful designs of modern times. An air-conditioned interior, sumptuous Connolly leather trim, perfectly weighted power steering, and Porsche-rivalling build quality all combined to make the 456 GT a worthy competitor for Bentley, Aston Martin, and Mercedes-Benz. Supplied new to Switzerland, this handsome 456 GT is finished in dark blue with grey leather interior and has covered 74,798 kilometres from new. We are advised that four new tyres were fitted in July 2015, since when the car has covered only some 200 kilometres. Offered for sale by a Swiss/Italian collector, this beautiful modern Ferrari comes with sundry service bills; its original instruction manuals and service book; KFZ Classic Data Certificate; Swiss Carte Grise; and MFK (roadworthiness certificate) issued 24th September 2019. Ferrari 456 GT coupé 1995 Carrosserie Pininfarina Châssis n° ZFFSD44S000101039 •Livrée neuve en Suisse •74 798 kilomètres d'origine •Seulement 200 kilomètres depuis juillet 2015 •Immatriculée en Suisse Ferrari n'avait pas offert de 2+2 depuis l'arrêt de la 412 en 1989 et lorsque la 456 GT fit ses débuts au Salon de Paris, en octobre 1992, il était clair que la nouvelle venue allait éclipser toutes les précédentes Grand Tourisme à quatre places de Maranello. Bien qu'entièrement nouvelle jusqu'au bout des pare-chocs, la 456 GT arborait des éléments familiers aux générations d'amateurs de Ferrari – un V12 à quatre arbres à cames en tête à l'avant, une boîte transaxle à l'arrière, un châssis tubulaire et une suspension indépendante – tandis qu'apparaissait pour la première fois une suspension adaptative à contrôle électronique et une boîte de vitesses à six rapports. Le nouveau V12 de 5, 5 litres, globalement une version assagie de celui des 550 et 575, ne lâchait pas moins de 442 ch à seulement 6 250 tr/min, tout en restant souple et mordant, du ralenti à la ligne rouge, grâce à un excellent système de gestion. En dehors de la F40, la 456 était la routière la plus puissante jamais conçue par Ferrari, pourtant, malgré ses performances de supercar son moteur au régime relativement bas se révéla très fiable. Pour la 456, Pininfarina avait à nouveau appliqué sa recette miracle pour créer une carrosserie
