Presented at the 1998 Geneva Motor Show, the new version of the Ferrari 456 GT corresponded in the eyes of many to the old model. In reality this car, called 456M GT ("M" for modified "), included many improvements not only in terms of aerodynamics and aesthetics but also chassis, with new electronically managed suspensions. As an engine, the 456M kept the 12-cylinder 5474cc and 442hp with 6250 revolutions per minute.
