The Model: When it came time for Ferrari to replace the iconic 328,
Pininfarina set to work capturing the design cues of the 12
cylinder models to ensure the new 348 was unmistakable as a
Ferrari. The sensational side strakes of the Testarossa transformed
the lines of the new 348 when it was unveiled in 1989.
Mechanically, Ferrari now mounted the quad-cam V8 longitudinally
for a much lower center of gravity and placed the transmission in a
transverse position. In its original form, the 348 produced 300 hp.
In 1993 and 1994 Ferrari built just 100 examples of this special
high-performance version of its 348 model, the "Serie Speciale".
This super 348 had power output increased to 315 bhp, revised
gearing for quicker acceleration, improved rear suspension geometry
with a 50mm wider track and a special �Challenge' style splitter
front spoiler. The rare Serie Speciale cars are also quite distinct
in appearance from ordinary 348s with unique front grill, tail
lights and body-colored spoiler, bumpers, rocker covers and engine
lid, as well as unique leather, covered door panels and Serie
Speciale badging, none of which is shared with regular 348s. Of the
100 high-performance Serie Speciale models produced, just 65 were
convertible Targa models.
The Car: This incredible 348 ts Serie Speciale is one of only 65
open cars produced and it is believed to be one of just 6 examples
produced in the triple black color scheme. Absolutely beautiful in
every respect, this ultra-rare high-performance Ferrari is road
ready and incredibly well maintained. A full engine-out major
service including cam belt change was performed in 2016 by Ferrari
specialist North Coast Exotics with parts provided by
Allferrariparts.com. With just under 24,000 original miles, this
348 is a standout even among Serie Speciale survivors. The unmarked
black leather seating and door panels found only in the Serie
Speciale cars fills the cockpit, showcasing the low mileage. This
matching numbers car retains original books, tools, and factory
paint markings as well as correct hardware and decals making it a
prime candidate for concours competition. It is extremely rare to
see one of these limited edition high-performance Ferrari models
offered for sale. Don't miss this unique opportunity.
