Vehicle Description
Considered one of the last great Ferraris, this 1992 Ferrari 348 TS
was developed when Enzo was still alive and many of the classic
stylists were still in charge. That's why you fell in love/lust
with this one before you checked the low mileage and
well-maintained condition.
For many the 348 is a sweet spot in Ferrari design. It borrows
elements from predecessor icons like the 328, and the flat front
and side streaks are pure Testarossa. But this was packaged around
a much more modern vehicle that had no trouble fitting on modern
roads. Rosso Corsa is such a much nicer way to say red, and the way
the name rolls off your tongue is the same way the high gloss
original paint rolls off of every inch of the body. The condition
today is a testament that the (then) six-figure price tag bought
you more than just name recognition, and that this prancing horse
has been kept with care its whole life. It has been enjoyed over
the years, but it has been done responsibly. The chin spoiler
hasn't been bashed by steep driveways; panel fit is excellent; and
the many black plastic and rubber trim pieces haven't been baked by
the sun. In other words - this one showcases the best of everything
Ferrari.
Italians are known for their complete style, and so the tan leather
interior is exactly the kind of beauty you'd expect from Ferrari.
Sculpted bucket seats are supportive and comfortable. They are
ideally suited to the serious business of driving fast (these were
upgraded in '92 to reflect the advances of the F40 supercar.)
Nobody can match the Italians for design, and the sweeping door
panels that blend into the dashboard make the car feel fast even
from just sitting in the garage. While you're attracted to the
prancing horse in the middle of the three-spoke steering wheel, it
also gives you a clear view at the large full gauge package that
glows red to get your heart plumping. And if that doesn't get your
pulse racing, the Ferrari traditional gated shifter will. But as we
mentioned before, this is also a Ferrari for the modern age. That's
why it comes with great features like power windows, power locks,
and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo that's concealed behind the dash
panel. But the feature that you'll love the most will be the modern
R134a air conditioning. It allows you to keep the targa top out all
year long and still stay comfortable. After all, there's noting
like getting unrestricted access to the sweet Italian song that
comes from the tailpipes.
That howl is generated by a 3.4-liter V8 that was upgraded from the
previous year for a 4% increase in power to 312 hp total. Tucked
behind the driver's right shoulder, it's a work of industrial art
with its twin cast aluminum intake plenums, race-grade plumbing,
and mechanical precision. It starts with a bark from the exhaust
that reminds you how much a true Ferrari loves to rev, and you're
in complete control over this symphony thanks to the five-speed
manual transmission. Out on the open road is where you'll love this
exotic the most. The sport-tuned fully-independent suspension is
begging for corners, and the Pirelli P-Zero tires on beautiful
factory 17-inch alloys stick to the road like glue. And when it
comes time to stop, massive disc brakes at all four corners w/ABS
keep this prancing horse easily tamed.
This 348 came from the era of truly rare Ferraris - the company
only imported about 500 cars in '92, including F40s, 512s, and
Mondials. So when you can find one that has barely averaged over
1,000 miles annually, and is so nicely presented, you're going to
have to act fast to catch this red-hot Ferrari. Call today!!!
