Ferrari 348

The Ferrari 348 is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive V8-powered 2-seat sports car, replacing the 328 in 1989 and continuing until it was replaced by the F355 in 1994.

The 348, badged 348 TB for the coupe and 348 TS for the targa versions, features a naturally aspirated 3.4 litre version of the quad-cam, 4-valve per cylinder V8 engine which was originally found in the 288 GTO supercar. The engine produces 300 hp (224 kW) and sits longitudinally with a transverse gearbox, like the Mondial t with which the 348 shares many components. This was a major switch for Ferrari, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission.

In 1993 the 348 was revised, featuring subtle styling changes and more power, this time producing 312 bhp (U.S) and 320 hp (Euro) from the same 3.4 litre engine (different exhaust). The revised cars are called 348 GTB and GTS, The lower body being body-colored instead of black and the rear track being one inch wider due to the addition of spacers and the suspension geometry was revised which greatly enhanced its super-car-level handling, ride and body control. The 348 Spider (convertible) model was also introduced, in-line with the phasing out of the Mondial Cabriolet.


For 1994 only, Ferrari also made 360 hp (268 kW) to 500 hp (370 kW) 348 Competizione race models (some sold in Europe for the street, too) in conjunction with the Michelotto performance house. These 348 GTCs (or GT Competiziones) had kevlar front and rear bumpers, kevlar seats, kevlar door panels, whilst the Le Mans race models used F40 half-shafts.
