The 456 was refreshed in 1998 and Modificata models feature revised aerodynamics as well as an updated grille with integrated fog lights. This example is finished in Grigio Titanio and features Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, fender vents, quad exhaust outlets, and retractable headlights. The right side mirror was resealed in 2021, and the wiper arms are misaligned. Scratches and blemishes are visible on the body, close-up photos of which are presented in the gallery.

The 456 was refreshed in 1998 and Modificata models feature revised aerodynamics as well as an updated grille with integrated fog lights. This example is finished in Grigio Titanio and features Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, fender vents, quad exhaust outlets, and retractable headlights. The right side mirror was resealed in 2021, and the wiper arms are misaligned. Scratches and blemishes are visible on the body, close-up photos of which are presented in the gallery.
Factory 17” five-spoke alloy wheels are wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires showing 2021 date codes and measuring 255/45 up front and 285/40 out back. Stopping power is handled by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with silver Ferrari-script calipers over cross-drilled rotors. The brake fluid was flushed in March 2020, while replacement power steering and suspension hydraulic lines were fitted in May 2021.
The power-adjustable Daytona-style front seats are trimmed in black leather with white accents and feature Ferrari-embossed headrests. Additional amenities include a metal shift knob and gated shifter, automatic climate control, power windows and locks, and a factory stereo. The leather covering on the dashboard is shrinking, and an aftermarket radar detector has been installed. The steering wheel, left and right side headliner, both door speaker panels, and rear window shelf have been reupholstered. Service in 2020 included rebuilding the air conditioning compressor. Wear is visible on the trunk-release button on the center console.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts instrumentation consisting of a 220-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure and water temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 59k miles, approximately 14k of which were added by the current owner.
The 5.5-liter Tipo F116 V12 was factory rated at 436 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. A timing belt service was performed in March 2020, at which time the fuel injectors were cleaned, the valve covers were refinished, and the water pump, oil and air filters, spark plugs, drive belts, and timing belt tensioner bearings were replaced. The engine mounts were replaced in 2021, and a replacement radiator was fitted in May 2022. Oil is dripping from the camshaft seals, per a recent inspection, the results of which are viewable in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. Additional photos of the underside are included in the gallery.
