Ferrari 456T "Venice" Wagon
We have a deep respect for the Sultan of Brunei for his love of Sport Wagons, his very deep pocket book, and his passion for converting very fast coupes and sedans to wagons. In addition to hiring AMG to build his Pagani-powered Mercedes S-class wagon, the Sultan also commissioned Pininfarina to build 6 estates based on the Ferrari 456. These photos show one of the Sultan’s exceptionally rare Ferrari wagons, each of which are rumored to have cost around $1.5 million. Each of these custom five-door coachbuilds are known as a Ferrari 456 Speciale “Venice.” Just like the coupe, this 456 has a 5.5L V12 producing 456hp. We assume the transmission is a 6-speed manual, but the wagon could also have the 4-speed automatic from the 456 GTA- as the Sultan had both 456 GT and GTAs converted. Either way, the estate puts all four-hundred and fifty-six rampaging Italian stallions to the pavement through the rear wheels. While these wagons are roughly a decade old, they are still relatively unknown in the wagon community and are exceptionally rare!
