Ferrari 348 (1991): A Bold Step Forward in HAOG’s Collection

The Ferrari 348 is a sporty vehicle that was produced from 1989 to 1995 and was considered the successor to the Ferrari 328. It was the entry into the Ferrari sports car series of the 1990s. The vehicle was also designed by Pininfarina and features distinctive, sharp lines and an aerodynamic design that reflects the typical Ferrari aesthetic. The car was available in several variants, including a coupe (348 tb) and a targa (348 ts). A Spider version (convertible) was also introduced later. The engine, a 3.4-liter V8 with around 280 hp (206 kW), is positioned centrally, offering balanced handling and excellent driving dynamics. The top speed of the Ferrari 348 is around 270 km/h and the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 5.6 seconds. Compared to the more expensive models such as the Ferrari 512 TR or the Ferrari F40, it was cheaper, making it an attractive entry-level model for Ferrari enthusiasts.

It was the last V8 Ferrari with a gated gearshift and an important milestone in the brand's transition to more powerful and technologically advanced sports cars. The 348 has an established place in Ferrari history and remains a sought-after model among collectors and enthusiasts. This Ferrari 348 with full history is first hand and in classic rosso corsa, the interior is well maintained and almost as good as new. The vehicle was serviced annually and the condition can be described as remarkable.
