Ferrari has never been an automaker to rest on its laurels and the 348 was a model that resulted just from that need to constantly push forward. Although there are some styling cues from the models it replaced, it was a much improved car over them with a larger engine and suspension changes to improve its performance. During the lifespan of the 348, Ferrari made the decision to create 100 examples just for the US market. These “special” editions received a higher output engine, a slightly wider rear track, a more efficient exhaust system, a better performing final drive ratio and higher speed rated tires. In keeping with its Speciale status there were a number of appearance changes both inside and out to differentiate it from the regular 348 as well. This is number 86 out of the 100 and includes the tools, books and manuals as delivered from Ferrari. The last service was just performed in Novmeber 2013 making this exclusive Ferrari ready to drive.
