replacement to the 456

Andrew · Mar 19, 2002

Has anyone heard of a new car coming from Ferrari that will replace the 456? I heard something like 460? I'm looking for pictures. If you have some can you post a link to them or link them to this site.

I havent heard anything but they should be due for a replacement soon. They like to update their cars every 5 years or so and its been about 3 since the 456M. On the other hand, they dont design 2+2 cars as often, no offense or anything but look how long people had to live with the 400/412, ugggg thank god i was only a little kid.

I know what you mean

I know exactly what you mean. The 456M was not a huge change from the 456 (imo) but I did see photos of what the future 460 is suppose to look like. However, I cannot find them now. If the actual car is anything like the photo then the 456 will still be very similar in body style to the existing 456.

You're right, it wil be the 460 GT. I have a pic on my site: http://tomsupercars.topcities.com/Base Directory/ferrari1.htm . Also on another website: http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=4479&n=156,178&sid=178 .

as promised
the spy pic of the 460

i don't think thats it

I could be wrong but I think they are wrong. That looks almost like a Maranello and it looks just like the spy pictures of the 575.

Now, it's definitly NOT the 575M. The wheelbase and the nose is way too long!!!!

Dj Dirk · Mar 25, 2002

at first i thought so to.
but there where already pics from the 575
and like tom says the wheelbase and the nose are to long.

Don't kill me but I see something from an Aston Martin in it

I don't know. It's a bit too long for an AM. Personally, I think it's too long for a Ferrari. But these are just test mules, so...

Dj Dirk · Mar 26, 2002

i was reffering to the back window and the shape of the door that reminded a little to an AM

I hope there not gonna keep that nose it's way to long

*Modena* · Mar 26, 2002

Probably not. I think this is just a long 550 used to test the technology of the 460. If you look good, you can see the similarities.
