engine out & many other services. “Some of the features of the 348 Serie Speciale carried over to the 348 Challenge (also known as 348 CH), such as Speciale paint, chrome Cavallino's front and rear, Spider exhaust, and the drop down main gear.” This is a blue chip investment due to only increase in value as Ferrari models drastically escalate like the Dino Ferrari – which wasn't even a rare limited edition. Five years ago Dinos were around $65K to $95K and today a basket case brings around $200K with prime examples in the realm of around $365K and more for the flairs and chairs model. (In the 1970’s the Ferrari Dino 246 GT's carried an MSRP of $14,500 ) NADA guide book values for
a 92 or 93 Serie Speciale are : average retail: $49,800 high retail:
$78,500. Serie Speciale
Specifications: “The car was limited to 100 examples and was
only sold in North America. The differences between the Serie Speciale and a regular 348 is as follows; The front spoiler was redesigned for aerodynamics, now having a little
reverse curve ahead of the front wheels, as well as a lip along the front edge
that could be replaced after the inevitable ground scrapes became unsightly. This spoiler was now body-colored, as was the rear skirt, rocker panels
and front portion of the engine cover (all were matte black on older models).
This is sometimes referred to "Speciale paint" in ads for older cars
that have been repainted in this scheme. The front grill was redesigned, and a chrome prancing horse was added
where there was no horse on the front of earlier cars (a front license plate
holder had occupied this space). The black horse on the rear grill of earlier
models was changed to chrome, and, for what is probably the most distinguishing
external feature of the 348 SS, the Testarossa-like slats covering the
taillight assemblies were removed. In the interior, the standard Frau seats were replaced with
leather-covered Carbon/ Kevlar F40 type sports seats (although some
customers specified the standard seats). The door panels were also redesigned and now in leather. The color of the
leather on the doors and seats was coordinated with the carpet and roof liner.
On the center console radio cover, the script that said "348 tb" (or
ts) on the older cars was replaced by a small plate that read "Speciale
tb" or "Speciale ts." There was also a special ID plate on the
passenger door-post that listed the number in the series (i.e. No. 019 of 100)
along with the engine and chassis s/n and the ts or tb designation. Pirelli P-Zero's tires were fitted all around, in place of the P700Z's or
Bridgestone RE71's found on earlier cars. The rear track was widened by 50mm from 1578mm to
1628mm by adding 25mm of offset to each wheel, and the final drive was
shortened from 26/27 on the earlier cars to 25/29 on the SS. A taller fifth gear was fitted
(early cars having p/n 70000592), to maintain top speed with the new lower main
gear installed. The SS had a new
free-flow exhaust system credited with the car's quoted increase to 312
bhp (sometimes quoted as
320) from 300 bhp in the '89-'92 models. This is often called the
"Spider exhaust" but it actually made its first appearance on the
Speciale.” And according to some
sources there were only 35
Ferrari 348 TB Serie Speciale coupes
manufactured with
the remainder being the 348 TS (removable targa top which usually leaked)! This
vehicle is being sold in good faith “AS IS” and please check my honesty rating
on Ebay! Also the vehicle is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end
the auction early if need be and please no international buyers! Good luck bidding! R.J.Scheurer President Automotive

Why newly independent Ferrari may be forced into fuel-efficient cars
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The repercussions from Ferrari's pending transition into an independent automaker won't be understood for some time, but one of the biggest consequences could be that the iconic Italian marque will be forced into building more fuel-efficient vehicles.
As Wired points out, while Ferrari built fewer than 7,000 cars in 2013, its status as a public company could trigger pressure from shareholders to build more six-figure supercars and grand tourers. In turn, doing so could lead the company afoul of US Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, which dictate that any company that sells over 10,000 vehicles needs to maintain a certain fuel economy average across its fleet or risk fines.
With arguably its most popular model, the 458 Italia, hitting just 17 miles per gallon on the highway and its most efficient model, the turbocharged California T, stuck at 18 mpg, Ferrari isn't in a great place to hit the government's mandates (which are somewhat convoluted as Wired explains). The gist of the situation is that Ferrari will either need to continue limiting the number of vehicles it sells each year - a move that's certain to upset shareholders and irk its boss, Sergio Marchionne - or radically improve the fuel economy of its cars at the risk of performance. Rock, meet hard place.
1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sells for record $39.8 million
Tue, 04 Feb 2014This might not come as a shock, but ultra-rare vintage cars are only going to get more expensive as time rolls on, particularly if there's a prancing horse on the car's nose. For example, in 2011, a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold for $16.39 million. In February 2012, a 1964 250 GTO sold for nearly $32 million. Later that year, a 1962 250 GTO sold for $35 million. It was the most expensive car ever sold, making last year's 275 GTB/4 NART Spider and its $27.5-million auction price seem like a drop in the platinum-lined bucket. Now, there's been another high-dollar Ferrari sale.
An unrestored, 1957 250 Testa Rossa was reportedly sold for over $39 million, making it the most expensive car ever sold in the United Kingdom. Just for perspective, $39 million is about 28 LaFerraris or roughly 128 F12 Berlinettas. It's not the most expensive car ever sold, but it still represents a huge sum of money for a classic car. Part of the reason for chassis number 0704 - the car pictured above is 0714, which sold for a mere $12.2 million in 2009 - being sold for so much is down to its excellent provenance.
It made its race debut at the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, although it failed to finish. Phil Hill and Peter Collins racked up wins with this exact car in Buenos Aires and Sebring, according to the folks at Hemmings. Combining race wins by a former Formula One World Champion with an unrestored example of an extremely rare car (one of just 34 250 Testa Rossas ever built) makes its monumental sale price almost seem reasonable.
Ferrari 458 Speciale already sold out for first year
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Ferrari tends to sell its models out extremely quickly - its wait lists are the stuff of legend. That's especially true when the cars in question are of the fastest or most exclusive variety. If new reports are to be believed, Maranello has already sold the entire 499-unit production run of its new LaFerrari hypercar, and now Australia's Motoring is claiming that Ferrari has also filled its order book for the entire first year's production run of its new 458 Speciale.
For those unfamiliar, the 458 Speciale follows in a proud line of hardcore mid-engined V8 Ferraris in the footsteps of the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia. It's lighter, more powerful and more aerodynamically advanced than the 458 Italia upon which it's based, and just trails half a second behind the more powerful F12 Berlinetta (and the aforementioned LaFerrari) as the third-quickest road car ever to lap the Italian automaker's Fiorano test track. That means it's quicker even than the 599 GTO and Enzo.
Although we've yet to receive official word, we're expecting a sticker price approaching $300,000 - about a quarter more than the 458 Italia. But that doesn't appear to have stopped Ferrari from raking in the orders. Check it out in our substantially updated image gallery above.
