I drove such a Ferrari 456GT over a duration of about 2 years, because its owner wasn't able to drive it anymore, but at the same time doesn't want to sell it. It was a dark-blue metallic one & when the owner died, his family wanted me to find the perfect next owner, as I sadly couldn't afford this car, assurance-wise. So, it went back to Italy, where it's still in the ownership of the buyer, 12y later - and every time, I'm in the area, we do a short trip around his town, bc he knows, I would have bought, if I would have had the money for. So, thank you Doug for sharing this with the community.😍

[@Mike-rk8px]

In 1997 I got to spend most of my summer vacation driving my uncle’s 456 in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. It was the most impressive car I’ve ever driven in every respect, and one the German autobahn I got to push it hard and it just settle into a comfortable groove while the engine screamed this incredible mechanical symphony. If I could afford to buy and maintain one I absolutely would. The only problem with experiencing it was having to go back home to the US and our low speed limits and drive my boring Honda Accord.

It might have been more restrained and sublte, when it came out it was a remarkable design. It might have been one the 90's semi-retrotrendsetters, but the big side outlets and C pillar angles were pretty wild for it's day. Not in a shoutabout away, but in origniality and being different of the design.

[@dth2brny121]

OP: Those cars you named were my dream cars back in the day as well, but for me there's one more car I needed to add...The NSX

[@wills2140]

I fell in love with the BMW 850CSi slowly, because I really wanted the 1978 - 1981 BMW M1 so much... But there were only around 453 M1 cars produced to Giugiaro's design. The 850Ci from 1994 - 99 looked like the closest successor we ever got, and I still would do nearly anything to get one of the 1218 made with the updated M73 engines. Though the 850CSi was the sportiest version of these E31 series cars, they only made 1510 and so few of the European spec "four wheel steering" that I get sad looking at the "refreshed" body style that lost a little bit of the "magic" to meet safety and cooling needs. Of the carried forward designs since the 840 / 850 series cars of 1990 - 1999 the BMW i8 had some initial design promise, thrown away in the pursuit of the electric market, IMHO. But I really think BMW should have got their act together and actually tried producing the "Vision M Next" concept car from June 2019 - it could have been a worthwhile (and very expensive) successor to the original M1, *if* BMW could have ever figured out a proper power train in place of the "plug in hybrid" combined engine they had thought of (with abismal range). If BMW ever could produce a worthy design successor to the original M1 (E26) I would be the first to head to my super high selling regional dealership and throw all my money away to them on deposit, and purchase it. But even back in the 1990's when the 850Ci /CSi were new, Ferrari captured all my spare time and attention. There is something so... straightforward and pleasant about the 456 design, it is not overwhelmingly complex, yet it never looks "simple" either. But times has moved on, and the Ferrari 458 or 599, or the F12 berlinetta, or even going back to the near unobtainable in the U S 512BB are fantastic looking cars.

456. The number of times Doug says but anyway, but anyway, but anyway in this video... 😂

Thanks for the fun review of the old school 'gentlemen's express'! Here's a quick FYI about Ferrari automatics as well as 2+2s in general. Old school automatic 2+2 Ferraris actually go back quite a long time. The first (that I know of) were 6 late 1960s / early 1970s 365GT 2+2 (Queen Mother) these had a GM Turbo 400 3 speed. Then they skipped the 365GTC/4 and (I think) the 365GT/4 2+2 (the first of the 400-412 body style), which were all manual 5 speed. The majority of the 400, 400i and 412 series were auto (also GM Turbo 400). Then the 456... Ferrari 2+2s go back to the early 1950s with a 2+2 bodied 212 and became Ferrari's bread and butter with the 250GTE and 330GT but these were all manual transmission (not gated though).

Automatic 456 used Cadillac 4sp box as basis. Ferrari subcontracted Ricardo in UK to design different housing for GM internals to fit at rear of 456 to same location as manual gearbox. 456, 550, 599 and 612 manual and F1 box was done by Grasiano. Grasiano box was also used in many Aston Martin's. Rigardo did competition V8 for Nissan which they didn't end up using. McLaren took that unused design and put it into use in MP4-12C and almost all McLaren's since. Its small world in automotive subcontracting. Everyone is many ways connected to everyone else.

@@erkkavilhunen4916 Thank you for filling out the newer end of the story. I particularly like your last sentence (although a slightly different topic). As with the top of most industries, the group of key players gets pretty small and they know each other well.

You can never go wrong with a doug demuro review

[@Gordanovich02]

I love how the lid for the CD changer compartment has the same hinge as my kitchen cabinets.

[@TheMichaku]

22:46 So I am a bit confused: is the DougScore 49/100 or 57/100? 😉

[@brandonnull3822]

Doug - about the trunk button - the valet gives you your keys to the 456, you get in, you open the trunk by pushing the button, then the valet puts your pakages in the trunk. Remember, it was a 90's Lusso.

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

I lusted after the 456 too in the 90's. The design was so well balanced. Definitely ahead of it's time.

[@andrewmitchell5665]

I enjoy Doug's quirks. I do not enjoy his choice to perform a seated review that places his undercarriage two feet from the camera and uncomfortably highlights his features 😂

[@ianditch]

14:41 looks like your favourite Minecraft mine entrance 😮

[@daidinero7745]

Nfs Hot pursuit 2 made me love Ferrari. Hearing that horn as kid made was a odd sound 😂

[@ventisette.]

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this review for years!!!

[@ronbokje6213]

the kitchen door hinge in the trunk for the CD changer 🤣

[@95mushroom]

456's, the Ferrari that gives buy-here-pay-here Escalades or base trim C-Classes a run for most previous owners.

[@johnashleyhalls]

So good to learn about one that I missed. The 90's had some others that seem to bracket this car, the BMW 840 and 850 and the Porsche 928. It would be nice to afford the maintenance on any of those models.

[@pereldh5741]

Great review! I had exactly the same driving experience, its so surprisingly agile! Funny enough that too was green/tan, shame I didn’t buy it (2014)

[@WizardSoon]

Wow the 456 station wagon actually looks way cooler. I bet Doug is dying to review one of the Sultan brunei's car

[@maureencora1]

I Remember This in 1995 a 2+2 Ferrari, I Miss the 1990s. I was 33 -43 yrs. old. The Last Dance Decade.

[@joeborek4869]

Doug’s the kind of guy to review a Ferrari in a school bus paddock.

[@federicogaraventa2004]

In our family I had the chance to drive quite often both the 456 and the 612. No match. The 456 needs the transmission oil to (really) warm up and the stick WANTS to be operated with adequate force, than it will perform in its most pleasant and satisfactory way. Same for the steering, needs to be thrown hard in corners and will reward with happiness. Awesome car. I drove both in Monza circuit too (no racing, just laps) and the 612 was too long a wheelbase for variante and sharp cornering plus (minus) the F1 gear of the times was awful, slow and clunky. No way you can rate 612 handling higher. We lost the beloved 456 in the Genova flooding of 2014 and we are still missing her. A car that could last forever ❤

[@gplusplus314]

Scrolling by quickly, I legit thought this was a Ford Probe. I had to scroll back to make sure, and I was wrong. 😂

[@matthews852]

Take a drink every time Doug says “understated”…

[@djvillan]

Even better, take a drink every time he says "but anyway"...

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

seeing the passenger side window not lowering for the doors to close fit is a pain

[@ASAMMJ]

The 456/456M has always been one of my favourites,. It's one of my dream cars. I've always thought of it as a "beautiful forgotten" car just like Doug mentions in the video title. I saw one at the London Classic Car Show 2020.

[@Sovereign86]

16:51 That 456 Venice wagon is nice *AF!* 🤯🤩

[@AHYL88]

Wow, just like the 550 Maranello, whose review was uploaded only two weeks ago, this still looks great today, even at almost 30 years old!

[@lordemed1]

Great design is timeless.😉

[@sanghoonlee5171]

0:19 You know what's wrong with this look? NOTHING. It's perfection.

[@thefrog9119]

I’ve had a Peugeot 406 Coupé and I heard that Ferrari was not happy that Pininfarina’s design of the Peugeot was close to the 456 design. I was very happy about that 😉
