Ferrari 456 Performance Overview
Positioned as Ferrari’s front-engined V12 2+2 grand tourer, the 456 was produced from 1995 to 1998 and is represented here by 3 verified tests spanning 1995 to 1998. Across that run, performance remained tightly grouped, with naturally aspirated F116-series 5.5-liter V12 power holding output at 436 hp throughout and gasoline power being the only powertrain offered. The earliest benchmark came with the 1995 GT Coupe, which set the initial mark at 4.9 seconds to 60 mph.
That pace carried through the short production life with only small variation between trims and transmissions. The 1997 GTA Coupe matched the model’s best launch at 4.9 seconds to 60 mph and also recorded the quickest quarter-mile at 13.3 seconds at 105.2 mph. The 1998 M Coupe, tested at 5.2 seconds to 60 mph, represents the slower end of the recorded range, while the full model average stands at 5.0 seconds to 60 mph and 13.4 seconds in the quarter-mile at 105 mph.
Today, the 456’s measured performance profile is defined by that narrow spread: a late-1990s Ferrari V12 coupe consistently running from 4.9 to 5.2 seconds to 60 mph, with the GTA and GT effectively sharing the model’s best recorded acceleration.
