Ferrari 456 GT

The Ferrari 456 GT reaches 60 mph in 4.87 s (100 km/h in 5.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.02 s, tripping the lights at 114.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s and the eighth mile in 8.60 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.43 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 456 GT

The 1992 Ferrari 456 GT is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,690 kg with 436 bhp, which works out at 258 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 258 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.31 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,040th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 71st quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 114.1 mph, the 1,040th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Ferrari 456 GT 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 456 GT reaches 60 mph in 4.87 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,040th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 456 GT quarter mile time?
13.02 s at 114.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 456 GT have?
436 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 258 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 302 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 456 GT?
Closest here on pace: AC Cobra MkII 4.7 V8 271 (4.79 s), Aston Martin DB7 Zagato 5.9 V12 440 (4.78 s), Bentley Continental GT Mk I (4.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 456 GT in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ferrari 456 GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
