Richard Hammond Reviews The Ferrari 456 

This is just about the most 90s car review I’ve ever seen

Back in the day, when Ferrari's came with 17-inch rims. Remember this car when I just became a teenager. I thought it was the most beautiful of all the Ferrari's of this era.

This is one of the least talked about Ferrari models. I really like the design. It was ahead of its time. It still looks good even though it was designed in 1992. The background music went well with this review.

The camera work was extremely annoying in this clip.

In my opinion the 1995 Ferrari 456 GT is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR FERRARI HAS EVER BUILT.

I am an ex-456 owner. First thing first, the car is a bad grand tourer since it isn't good at "getting families across continents fast" as Clarkson once said about it. 1. It breaks all the time! Terrible buttons, windows don't roll up, cylinders misfiring, I had water dripping on my left foot from the aircon pipes, panels fitting badly, exhaust fumes inside, and just a lot of electrical problems. It is amazing how many electronic things can break down in a car with so little (compared to modern vehicles) technology and features. It is just a poorly assembled and unrefined car. 2. If something breaks, it is hard to get it fixed properly and fast. It is hard to find people to work on it, it takes forever to order parts. So you literally can't do any serious travelling in it, unless your "continent" is Britain and you need to go from London to Cardiff once every 2 months. I was absolutely ready to pay high maintenance costs, but I am not ready to have a car that is so unreliable. 3. Wind noise. You can't call a car a grand tourer if the noise at higher speeds is so uncomfortable. 4. Gas mileage. You need to stop every 2.5-3 hours to refuel! Doing a trip from Croatia to Sweden would be actually faster in a 2L Skoda or Suzuki than in Ferrari 456 because of this. It gives you range anxiety, just like electric cars! I canceled the plan to go from Europe to Iran in it and got rid of the car. It actually was my wife who first told she doesn't want to travel in it anymore.

The 456 still looks awesome 25 years later!

This is on of my favourites Ferraris ever. Simply beautiful and elegant.

Safe to say production values have improved

Have had two of these an original and the M Modificato model. Both where manual cars and both took my young family grand touring all over Europe. I now own later models but this was an absolute triumph of a car. Miss the M especially

Whoever directed and edited this was awful.

Nicest car Ferrari ever made, IMO, just before they dropped the traditional gated shifter and started making their interiors look like a bad day in the circus.

I’ve owned the car in this video for 5 years. One of the 33 MGT cars made in RHD. Looks better and better every time I look at it. Oh yes, everything that’s ever gone wrong with it I blame Hammond!

Most underestimated Ferrari to date. The Scaglietti came close, but it was in no way as pretty as thr 456

This,the F50 and the California are my favorite Ferraris...

I have always admired the 456. It was always underrated as Ferrari. Can't understand why. Beautiful.

does anyone know where this was filmed?

This in giello Modena is just about the perfect car😍😍😍

In terms of modern Ferraris... I lust after the 550 Maranello, F50, 355, 512TR and 360 Challenge Stradale... but I want to own a 456GT.

I own one. I love it. I completely understand what Richard means when he says he knows it is worth the price but can't explain why. If you want people to know that you are driving a Ferrari, this is not the car for you. If you want people who know that you are driving a 456, this may be the car for you. If you don't give a damn what others think and just want to drive an incredibly rewarding Ferrari, this is definitely the car for you.

my favourite types of super cars are the 2+2s my favourite car is the ferrari 250 swb as it was racing car... it really wasn't a full on roadie. But if i had to buy a ferrari strictly for the road it would either be a 250 get or a 330 gt. That being said after the creation of the mid engined super car all those that were buying gt ferraris suddenly stopped buying those cars in favour of the kiddie. The jensen interceptor laid out what was to become of the gt in the 60's automatic sports luxury mixed thingy and all gt's have been following that lay out since i don't mind it because a gt isn't a sports car but i would prefer one with a manual mode

wow How long ago was this filmed?! Hammond looked so different!

456 gorgeousness!

does anyone know the music at 1:31?

Damn Im dizzy after that beginning. Love the 456 though.

my favourite ferrari model

This is where carwow does their filming.

That's the car! That car is not to drive quikly, but to appreciate the classic style..

This is worth it just for Hammond saying he wants to marry the transmission. Lmao

anybody knows the name of the song which starts at 1:31??

This might be one of the poorest reviews ever: going on and on why it's worth 170k but never being able to say why godawful camera work driving around a flat circle for 10 minutes not one damn shot or tour of the interior a ferrari with a backseat TRIPE all in all. burn it down

Wasn’t aware of this cars existence

This is dangerous reporting

Why isn't this in HD? LOVE the 456...needs to be seen in 1080p

The forgotten Ferrari.

this or a bentley what do you choose

lol, dat musiclassic

Gorgeous car, so much more “normal” than what you see nowadays.

The first minute's worth of camera work made me feel drunk.

This has to be like the most unrecognized Ferrari in the history of the world i just hate it and it feels so bland but this is the cheapest on out there you can get one for just about 35k and if you tussle a bit maybe even 30k.

3:25-3:30......... filmed by a hot wheels fan !?? :D

Good information, horrible camera work. Hammond looks like he's 17!

god its beautiful

Even if it is a good car it just looks like a saloon which happens to be a couple

electric engin ? or just mute the clip

Shape reminds me of Ferrari Daytona

OK guys it's old but still does 300km/h!

Like Hammond. But oh boy that is $hit review!

LoL! The hamster can seat comfortably in the rear of a 2+2.

Camerahandling in this clip sucked. Music and no engine sound when reviewing a sports car... really?

for me it isnt ferari if its not red

it is not 'incredible' Hammond fits in the back seats, Clarkson would say Hamster even fits in a matchbox.

It's funny seeing the same roads being used for car reviews for decades. That's the exact same spot where carwow etc do their filming today

Videographer was on a mission to make the viewers nauseous or have a seizure. My god it’s awful.

Videographer came from the school of Pepto-Bismol filmmaking. I hope he was fired.

2:20- 2:30........... hahaha!

I wouldn't pay a dime over 15.5.

Okay, so I like the car and I also think the Hamster is a decent bloke. But who in the world thought this was a good way to do a car video!? Hideous music, lousy editing and the camera work OMG!

I used to love the 456' looks but after seeing this I realise how fantastically out-dated it looks now.

Der Kameraschnitt bereitet mir Kopfschmerzen… und ist der Eleganz dieses wunderbaren Wagens nicht würdig

wtf are these intros hahahaha

20 years later carwow uses this road to review their cars

The 550 looks much better.

OMG. Zero I mean ZERO engine sound??? That’s the best part of the car !! Why even bother making a video on a V12 Ferrari with no exhaust sounds??? Are you kidding me??

Horrid camera work

I love Ferrari, but the 456 was one of the worst looking Ferrari's ever. What the hell were they thinking?

such an annoying film job...

Looks average and it's probably way more money than it's worth. Looks like an average sports car, like a Corvette or 300zx.

The most boring looking Ferrari ever made.

Terrible filming - like seriously WTF was the director/cameraman trying to achieve?

I'm sorry but this is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen.

The forgotten Ferrari.
