 “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!

Raikkonen likely to retire from F1 after 2015 [w/poll]

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Though his irreverent demeanor party-goer image might suggest otherwise, make no mistake about it: at 34 years old (and with 37-year-old Mark Webber out of the race), Kimi Raikkonen is the oldest driver in Formula One. He's three months older than Jenson Button, a good year older than his former wingman Felipe Massa, three years ahead of Adrian Sutil and a good decade beyond the latest crop of up-and-comers on the grid. So it's only natural that we should start wondering how much longer he'll stick around, and now we may have our answer.
Speaking with motorsport journalists at the British Grand Prix this past weekend, the 2007 World Champion and winner of 20 grands prix, Raikkonen indicated that the next season will likely be his last. According to numerous racing news outlets, when asked how long he plans to stay on the grid, the famously terse Finn responded: "Until my contract is finished, and then I will probably stop. That is what I think is going to happen."
Kimi was a relatively unknown entity when Sauber gave him his first drive in F1 back in 2001, upon which he finished in the points on his first race. He moved to McLaren the following season, racked his first podium finishes, and took his first win the season after that. He finishes second behind Fernando Alonso the next season, well ahead of the rest of the pack, and switched to Ferrari two seasons later in 2007, winning the world championship on his first season in red. After just three seasons, Ferrari showed him the door and Kimi left F1 entirely, trying his hand at everything from the World Rally Championship to NASCAR. He returned to F1 with Lotus in 2012, and in a rare move for Maranello, was invited back for this season on a two-year contract.

Ferrari 312PB looks amazing, sounds like you're ripping sheets

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Whether it's Mozart, Beethoven or The Beatles, they all (arguably) pale in comparison to just the right engine note for many auto enthusiasts. Petrolicious has found one of the absolute best with its latest focus on a 1972 Ferrari 312PB.
The 312PB is important for more than just its ability to sound like an automotive symphony. It was also the final purpose-built prototype racer of the era from Ferrari before the Prancing Horse put its entire focus into Formula One. Maranello went out with a bang, though. The 312PB's design is simplicity itself with just a modified wedge shape combined with the necessary scoops and ducting to keep its 12-cylinder engine at full tune. The car won a string of races and scored the 1972 championship. Although even if it had been a loser, the racecar likely would have been famous just for its wonderful exhaust note.
In the video, Petrolicious expertly balances its interview with owner Steven Read with wonderful cinematography and just letting the Ferrari sing around the Willow Springs track. Crank up the volume and scroll down to get a wonderful earful of this sonorous vintage racer.

Model waves checkered flag too soon at F1's Canadian Grand Prix

Mon, Jun 11 2018

MONTREAL — Formula One said on Sunday it will review its procedures after the Canadian Grand Prix ended in confusion and embarrassment when a celebrity waved the checkered flag a lap too soon. The gaffe did not affect the outcome of the race, which was won by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, but the German said he was left double-checking his lap counter while checking in with his pit before carrying on to run the full 70 laps. "Fortunately we had radio, fortunately I had the lap count in the car, and the pitboard was accurate Β— but if you lose radio and maybe the pitboard is not there, then you back off," said Vettel after notching his 50th career win. "I was just worried, I told them also on the last lap, then people don't jump on the track, waving flags and celebrating, because we're still going at full pace." The official results were later determined based on the 68th lap to avoid any impact the early flag might have had. Formula One race director Charlie Whiting said the error was caused by simple miscommunication between the official starter and crew in the starter's tower, which resulted in model Winnie Harlow Β— a friend of Mercedes world champion Lewis Hamilton Β— waving the flag prematurely. "It was a miscommunication between the start platform and the guy they call the starter here," explained Whiting. "He thought it was the last lap and asked them at the top to confirm it, they confirmed it. "They thought he was making a statement when in fact he was asking a question. "He told the flag waver to wave it a lap early. It was as simple as that, it wasn't anything to do with the fact it was a celebrity flag waver. "The celebrity was not to blame." Celebrities are often given the honor of waving the checkered flag at motor races, which has occasionally resulted in unintended flubs. Brazilian soccer great Pele famously reacted too late when Ferrari's Michael Schumacher won at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit in 2002, brandishing the flag instead as the later finishers appeared. While the incident on Sunday produced shrugs and even a few chuckles, there were also very real safety concerns, as course workers often come out of their safety areas to stand alongside the track waving flags. "We need to review procedures and make sure we have a very simple procedure for every circuit," added Whiting. "We're dealing with different human beings, different countries, different languages and it's not always absolutely perfect.
