To ventilate any Ferrari is always pleasant, none of that.A little shadow on a joyful day can only throw the fact that hundreds of tried cars are no longer as ecstatic as the first time, but you can live with it. Virtually any Ferrari has not become a classic used car over time, but remains an object of interest for a long time after its performance – of course with regard to the state, history of history and other aspects. The advantage of the aging supercuts is the fact that the pieces that survived are mostly in good condition, because they received much more care during their lives than ordinary ferrymen with an emotional value approaching zero.
Some cars also have an extremely small raid – as a tested piece that the boys from the company on TRUC brought to the new owner and gave us the prospect for a dynamic test. Since I drive with classic machines, I was driving a variety of Ferrari, and in the case of the 348, this fifth car, which I could sit in. Personally, I may have a greater weakness for the twelve -cylinder, because I can not get out of my head a wonderful day behind the wheel of 512 TR, which is unexpectedly agreeable and pleasant yet dramatically fast. But the eight -cylinder is generally a bit more agile and their performance can be mined in a slightly more satisfactory way – as a herd of three hundred horses on the lane just enough.

And what is the 348 model? The designation reveals that it is indeed powered by an eight-cylinder 3.4 liter, in this case atmospheric, with four camshafts and the same number of valves per cylinder. The technical attraction is the fact that the engine is located longitudinally in front of the rear axle, behind it is across the gearbox, through which the shaft leads entirely back, where the bumper looks down the bumper.
This is related to the marking – the tested piece is indicated by TB, which means transversale (according to the transmission across) Berlinetta (indicates the coupe, in this case two-seater).Recall that…
The Last of a Dying Breed: A Look Back at the Ferrari 348
On a hot summer day, cool air flows from the car’s vents. The era when the 348 rushed like a Safety Car during the Ayrton Senna era is long gone, but the intensity from within these cars remains palpable – reminiscent of clearly legible alarm clocks with orange numbers or a whole set of black buttons.
The last of its kind
The Ferrari 348 is generally considered to be the last pure, very mechanical car – lacking ABS to spoil the driving experiance, a quality that is increasingly appreciated. And then there are the “Mrkačky” (pop-up headlights), which need no further comment. Production continued until 1995, and in late 1993, the car received a minor facelift. This is noticeable through the chrome horse Cavallino between the rear lights, the engine cover, and the color-matched sill attachments rather of black, among other details. The chassis geometry was also modified, the rear wheel width was increased, and the engine received improved Bosch Motronic 2.7 management and a new exhaust system. Consequently, performance increased to 320 hp (European version).## The Timeless Appeal of the Ferrari 348
The Ferrari 348: A Mechanical Masterpiece
A pure and simple car has long overcome the stigma of more traditionally focused collectors who looked at it between their fingers. The new generation of enthusiasts accepts it with all deserved honors – even with the rigid clutch, open backdrop, plastic buttons and colored alarms. A car that perfectly guides the road perfectly by the road with both hands and pointing exactly from the curve even when the tires are losing the traction and the car wants to dance with background.Riding on the limit is certainly not for amateurs, but let them spend their money on the gray ferries with the character of the microwave. The rest of us will work their skills in the car that will move us somewhere – and just 348 is more versatile in this respect than the older 308/328 and more mechanical than the following 355 (or Modena, which everyone now talks about – and we will also like to return to it in one of the other “parts” of our Sunday pleasure). [Image of a Ferrari 348 with the caption: “An open backdrop is also a classic.”] The Ferrari 348 is a truly mechanical experience, a contrast to the more modern feel of its successor, the 355. For some, the 355 might even be too modern.I just add that we know from experience that finding the right car is not easy – be sure to study everything you can, and always count on the fact that even a nice car can have a technical or other problem. Either way, the service costs of the eight-cylinder Ferrari are not as brutal as it might seem, and if you do not have to go to the engine overhaul, you are quite calm. in this respect, I appeal to the applicants to have money prepared not only for thorough control, but also for “preventive” service.
