    Ferrari 348 Serie Speciale: A History

    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.

    1994 Ferrari 348 Spider

    Today we present this stunningly specified spider from here in Maryland.

    UPDATE 4/2: The selling dealer notes the following regarding the seat color:

    “The variation of color you see on the seats is from the Photo Booth. Strobes are used to try and add the proper amount of light in the booth”

    I like this car. Not just because it’s a red/tan Spider, like mine. Or because it’s an early car, like mine. Or even because it’s well-photographed. I like it because it’s honest and seems very well-cared-for. And I don’t say that often about dealer-owned cars.

    1994 Ferrari 348 Spider

    The spider is by far my favorite iteration of the 348 and I think one look at this example makes it clear why. Top up or down the spider reeks 80s and 90s conspicuous consumption with every sexy detail. Perhaps tame by modern standards, I can assure younger readers that this shape dropped as many boxers as Bridget Fonda in the early 90s.

    I’ve been reluctant to cover this car because, honestly, I find it very triggering. Not so much because of the car itself – we’ll get to that – but more because of the dealer.
