today The 348, badged 348 tb for the coup ( Trasversale Berlinetta
) and 348 ts for the targa ( Trasversale Spider ), featured a
naturally aspirated 3.4-litre version of the quad-cam,
four-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine. As with its predecessors, the
model number was derived from this configuration, with the first
two digits being the displacement of the engine and the third being
the number of cylinders. The engine, which had a power output of
300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp), was mounted longitudinally and coupled to
a transverse manual gearbox , like the Mondial t with which the 348
shared many components. The t in the model tb and ts designations
refers to the transverse position of the gearbox. Overall, 2,894
examples of the 348 tb and 4,228 of the 348 ts were produced. The
348's styling differed from previous models with straked side air
intakes and rectangular taillights resembling the Testarossa ,
stylistic themes reminiscent of the F40 , the world's fastest
production car at the time, and other prestigious Ferrari models of
the past. [6] The model was also the final design overseen by chief
stylist Leonardo Fioravanti , known for such designs as the F40,
Daytona , 512 Berlinetta Boxer , 288 GTO P5, P6 and others. The
F355 that succeeded the 348 returned to the styling cues of the 328
with round tail lights and rounded side air scoops. The 348 was
fitted with dual-computer engine management using twin Bosch
Motronic ECUs, double-redundant anti-lock brakes, and
self-diagnosing air conditioning and heating systems. Late versions
(1993 and beyond) have Japanese starter motors and Nippondenso
power generators to improve reliability, as well as the battery
located within the front left fender for better weight
distribution. All 348's have OBD-I engine management systems,
though European and general market variants do not come with the
self-test push button installed, which is needed to activate this
troubleshooting feature. Similar to the Testarossa but departing
from the 512 BB and 308/328, the oil and coolant radiators were
relocated from the nose to the sides, widening the side of the car
substantially, but making the cabin much easier to cool since hoses
routing warm water no longer ran underneath the cabin as in the
older front-radiator cars. This also had the side effect of making
the doors very wide. The 348 was equipped with a dry-sump oil
system to prevent oil starvation at high speeds and during hard
cornering. The oil level could only be accurately checked on the
dipstick when the engine was running due to this setup. The 348 was
fitted with adjustable ride-height suspension and a removable rear
sub-frame to speed up the removal of the engine for maintenance.
