from new.
Ferrari unveiled the 348 Series Speciale at the 1992 Los Angeles Auto Show as an American market-only limited edition. Like the standard 348, the Speciale was powered by the Tipo F119 3.4-liter DOHC 32-valve V8, however this low-production version received a number of special additions for a considerable increase in performance over the standard 348. The engine was tuned via new engine management and fitted with a free-flowing exhaust system, coupled with a shorter final drive ratio, which yielded 312 horsepower.
F40-inspired design cues in the form of new bumpers, side skirts, and a rear track widened by 50mm and unique details further separated the SS from the standard 348, including revised front and rear grilles finished with chrome Cavallino Rampante emblems, model specific taillights, and a distinctive new interior. Each 348 Series Speciale was designated by a production number plate.
This 1993 Ferrari 348 Speciale is number 84 of 100 built, and one of only 65 Targa (TS) models made. The car is in excellent condition throughout and has traveled only 12,000 miles. This 348 TS is an all original, low mileage example, first delivered in June of 1994 to S. Wu. of Long Island, NY. In May of 1998, ownership was transferred to M. Lasala of Westchester, NY. Finally in 2000, ownership was transferred to it most recent custodian, a resident of East Hampton, NY. At the time it had just under 7,000 miles. During this ownership the 348 was Ferrari franchise serviced on an annual basis, including a major service in 2005 and again in 2016, it has been driven than 500 miles since.
This 348 is accompanied by all factory issued books, manuals, Schedoni leather tool case and document pouch, factory targa top cover and pouch, and service records dating to 2000 – it is in excellent condition throughout and ready for immediate driving pleasure.
