Ferrari 456 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1992–1997) — First Generation
The Ferrari 456 is a front-engined grand tourer bodied as a two-door coupe, pairing a large V12 with genuine long-distance manners rather than the stripped-back focus of a mid-engined sports car.
Every Ferrari 456 engine in these examples is a 5.5-litre naturally aspirated gasoline V12, mounted up front and sending power rearward. The 5.5 MT gives you a manual gearbox and full control of the revs, while the 5.5 AT swaps in an automatic transmission for easier traffic. Either drivetrain keeps this a rear-wheel-drive powertrain.
