LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider
The mid-engine 348 made its debut in 1989 as the last Ferrari developed under the guidance of Enzo Ferrari before his death in 1988. Refinements in 1993 brought improved performance and reliability before the 348 line was succeeded by the F355 in 1995. The 348 marked a departure from its transverse-engined 328 predecessor with a longitudinally mounted V-8 mated to a transverse 5-speed manual gearbox. Quad camshafts, four valves per cylinder, dry-sump oiling and Bosch electronic engine management worked together to channel 320 HP through a self-locking differential and rear wheels. Independent unequal-length wishbone suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes deliver Ferrari-level road control. The 348 could launch from 0-60 MPH in 5.6 seconds, run a low 14-second quarter mile and had a factory-rated top speed of more than 170 MPH. Penned by Pininfarina and featuring the sharp air intakes and rectangular tail lamps that debuted on the iconic Testarossa, these stylistic touches were controversial at the 348’s 1989 debut but, have now widely become emblematic of a certain era in Italy. In 1994, Ferrari added a convertible to the GTB coupe and GTS Targa models in its 348 lineup.
Finished in the very attractive and desirable Blu Scuro paint, this 348 looks stunning and timeless. Lowering the canvas soft convertible top reveals a cockpit finished in hand-stitched crema leather over lush carpet with 348-logo machined-aluminum passenger footrest, power windows and locks. A leather-wrapped factory Momo steering wheel, machined-and-drilled aluminum control pedals and gated shifter wait for a new driver to command this 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider over the road or track. With just 593 original miles from new, this Ferrari 348 Spider is basically showroom new! It has only been collector owned, driven sparingly and kept in a climate controlled environment.
Presented in virtually as-new condition with just 593 miles on the odometer, certainly must make this one of the lowest mileage 348 Spiders in existence. Included with the sale are books and tools, making this the perfect addition to even the best Ferrari collections worldwide.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
