This would totally make sense marketwise.

Depends on the market. But let me guess; 550 Maranello? If so, then hnnngh. My favorite Ferrari, EVAR. Well, second to the F40, 250 GTO...

It's a 456 GT.

456 GT sedan. Only two or three in existence built by Pininfarina.

Two questions, as to how much sense this makes:

1: How well is Rapide selling?

2: Could this be put on a level far enough above the Quattroporte (which it would have to be, being a Ferrari) and still have a market?

So, pretty much the current Gen Charger, except Italiano.

The Rapide would probably sell better if it was based off a more current model. Judging by the fact they're caring enough to update it, I don't think it's selling miserably.
And yes, it could. Most GT owners wouldn't mind having a pair of extra doors, and the Quattroporte of the time was aimed at the M3 and S4.

As Oppo's Cheif Economist, I concur.

However, the reason Ferrari will never again make a four door saloon has been stated by Luca de Montezemelo when he mentioned that he wants to keep Ferrari as excusive as possible in order to please the pompous few who can actually afford one. This car would have to be produced in mass quantities, the price would be less, and then no one would buy the more expensive Ferraris because their neighbor has one, and they want to show the world their net worth; this would make Ferrari a Porsche competitor, and that's a Maranello No-No.

If it means rebuilding the 456 with modern mechanical bits, then YES. 1,000,000x yes!!! I'd rob a bank or whore myself out for a new 456 that looks exactly like a 456!
