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.

Serie Speciale Registry
As I work to compile a Buyer’s Guide for the Serie Speciale I thought it best to make public a registry. Here it is!

What does G.I. Joe pick Scarlet up in for their date off-base? This.

1990 Ferrari 34 ts
A red over tan ts is about as ‘missionary’ as a Ferrari 348 gets, but that’s still really exciting in my book.

1994 Ferrari 348 Spider
Today we present this stunningly specified spider from here in Maryland. Blu Sera over a tan and blue interior might be the best color combo one could expect to see on a 348, and it’s extremely uncommon to boot. Eye-catching without being flashy, I can imagine this color was preferred by those with mature money in 1994

1992 Ferrari 348 tb (Euro)
Today I’m sharing this 1992 tb from the Netherlands… or is it in the UK? I’m not clear. No matter, this lovely white slick-roof is listed on Bring A Trailer as a private party listing with just 53K kilometers on the odometer.

1994 Ferrari 348 Spider
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.

1991 Ferrari 348 ts
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.

What we have here is a 1992 European spec ts that was converted to a challenge car in France by Charles Pozzi and subsequently had a significant racing career in the Challenge series until 348s were removed post 1995.
