While the Ferrari 348 is enjoying a long-overdue renaissance in the collector car world, there is one variant that has always stood apart from the rest. It is rare, it is historically significant, and it is the car that fundamentally changed how Ferrari viewed the North American market.
This is the story of the 348 Serie Speciale (SS)—a car born out of necessity, championed by a visionary executive, and executed through a unique collaboration between Italy and New Jersey. It wasn’t just a trim package; it was a statement of intent that saved the reputation of the 348 and created the blueprint for every V8 “special edition” Ferrari that followed.
This week marks one year of reviewing the 348 market. Thank you so much for all the views and the support.

The Speedline “Challenge” wheels (part number SL886) were available from Speedline through Ferrari and were intended for use on 355 Challenge Series race cars, but have become a popular upgrade to road cars. This is a guide for those wishing to purchase a set.
They say beauty is only skin deep; not with today’s 348. This example from Bring a Trailer is unusual not only in its striking Blu Chiaro paint, but in the fact that its relatively clean interior (especially for the mileage) belies its poorly maintained exterior. Usually I find these things go hand-in-hand. Not today.
