Auto Elite of Tenafly, N.J. who performed my
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 1970s 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

Ryan Tuerck's Ferrari-powered Scion drifts, crashes, fixes, and drifts again
Sat, Sep 23 2017We were pretty astonished when Ryan Tuerck and Gumout shoved a Ferrari 458 V8 into a Scion FR-S. And as awesome as that fact alone may be, it's even more amazing that it's a fully functional drifter, not just a show car. Tuerck recently took it out to Portland, Ore. to do some sweet drifting on a mountain road. Unfortunately for him and the car, he did something substantially less sweet right off the bat. As you'll see in the video, in just the second corner of the course, Tuerck drives the front corner of the GT4586 right into the dirt cliff on the side of the road. For a moment, it looks like things are all right, but the car starts pulling to the right and he stops the car for repairs. After fixing bits including a thoroughly bent tie-rod, the GT4586 is good as new. We're glad the car wasn't down for long, because the drifting show following the repairs was fantastic. In the video, Tuerck throws the Scion into high-speed, super smoky drifts. And all of it happens to the tune of a shrieking Ferrari V8. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.

2016 British Grand Prix kept mostly calm and carried on
Mon, Jul 11 2016Three bursts of chaos decided the course of the British Grand Prix. The first was a literal cloudburst a dozen minutes before the race, which poured water on the Silverstone Circuit while drivers sat on the grid. Six minutes before the lights-out, the race director decided to start the race behind the Safety Car. The field loped around the wet track for five laps. When the Safety Car pulled off, the three leaders Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton, followed by teammate Nico Rosberg and Red Bull's Max Verstappen Β stayed out. Behind them, the second chaotic moment occurred: a big group of drivers made pit stops for intermediate tires. When Manor's Pascal Wehrlein spun at Turn 1 on Lap 7, officials issued a Virtual Safety Car. With the rest of the field slowed down, the three leaders ducked into the pits on Lap 8 for intermediates. The fortuitous timing meant all three drivers rejoined the track in their original positions. By Lap 9, with racing resumed, Hamilton had a 4.9-second lead on Rosberg. From that point, even as the track dried, no one bothered Hamilton during what one commentator called "a measured drive." The Brit won his home grand prix, taking the checkered flag seven seconds ahead of Rosberg. Rosberg had to earn second place on track. The German's car didn't respond well to the intermediate tires, so Verstappen excecuted an outstanding pass on Rosberg on the outside through Chapel on Lap 16. After everyone switched to slicks, Rosberg's Mercedes reclaimed its mojo and the German hunted Verstappen down, passing the Dutchman on Lap 38. The final touch of chaos happened when Rosberg's gearbox threw a tantrum on Lap 47 of the 52-lap race. Rosberg radioed his engineer, "Gearbox problem!" His engineer replied, "Affirm. Chassis default zero one. Avoid seventh gear, Nico." The race stewards allowed the engineer's first two statements, but stewards said the instruction about seventh gear contravened the rule that "the driver must drive the car alone and unaided." After the race, officials added ten seconds to Rosberg's time, demoting him to third behind Verstappen. Rosberg's is the first penalty arising from radio communication restrictions. Unsurprisingly, Mercedes will appeal. At this year's Baku race the radio controversy stemmed from engineers refusing to tell drivers what to do. Now we know what happens when the pit wall gets loose lips.
2017 Frankfurt Motor Show | Observations on the Ferrari Portofino, Honda Urban EV and more
Wed, Sep 13 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show here's our complete coverage The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show kicked off the fall reveal season with an impressive array of powerful cars blended with forward-looking concepts. It's a seminal period for automakers, who find themselves at the intersection of disruption and opportunity. With that in mind, here are four takeaways from Frankfurt. The transformation of the curvy yet overbaked Ferrari California T into the Portofino is complete, and its coming-out party in Frankfurt served notice that Ferrari's entry-level sports car is much more formidable. There was nothing wrong with the California (and later the California T), but the Portofino features a cleaner look with stronger lines and an elegant resemblance to the rest of the Ferrari family. The California name is a good one. Used on a number of memorable cars in the 1950s and '60s, it's steeped in tradition, and certainly Ferrari will dust it off again. But switching to Portofino, the name of a scenic town in Italy, is a nice way to change the conversation and generate fresh interest in this part of the Ferrari portfolio. Man, people are stoked over the Honda Urban EV concept. Why? I assume it's the retro look that harks back to early Civics, and the lack of information about the concept itself. What people don't know, they're imagining. Honda hasn't even confirmed the range, the car is very small, and it likely won't be sold in the United States. With this dearth of facts, enthusiasts are filling in their own blanks. I guess that's OK. Count me among the intrigued. When I saw pictures of this thing early Tuesday morning, I was pretty excited, too. We do know Honda is expanding its electric strategy, and two-thirds of its new vehicles sold around the world will have some form of electrification by 2030. The Urban EV launches in Europe in 2019, and a hybrid CR-V rolls out in Europe next year. Unconfirmed for the U.S. market, it seems like a no-brainer to bring that version of the CR-V here. The electrification and autonomous tech parade of concepts continues. You gotta be there. It's the cost of doing business in the modern automotive landscape. This technology takes years to develop and launch, so the next best thing to remind the world you're trying to be cutting-edge is to show off lots of fancy concepts. Frankfurt had plenty. A couple standouts: The BMW I Vision Dynamics and Audi's Elaine and Aicon.
