The Ferrari 456 and 456M (Type F116) are front-engine grand tourers which were produced by Ferrari from 1992 to 2003. The 456 was a replacement for the front-engine 412 as the company's V12-powered four seater. During its early production years (1992 to 2003), it was available as the Ferrari 456 GT (manual) and the 456 GTA (Automatic). From 1998 to 2003, it was updated with minor improvements and known as the manual 456M GT (M for 'modificata' or 'modified') and the automatic 456M GTA . The 456 series was replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.
