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 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! R.J.Scheurer President Automotive

Marchionne wants Maserati to be FCA's new Ferrari
Fri, Jul 10 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is gearing up to spin Ferrari, its most profitable brand, off into another company, and float its stock on the open market. That means it's going to need another profit-driver to generate income for the rest of the group. And according to its chief executive Sergio Marchionne, that mantle will soon be picked up by Maserati. FCA is betting big on Maserati, which has long stood as a niche marque with a limited array of models and low sales numbers. In addition to the recently introduced Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans – now crucially offered with diesels and all-wheel drive – Maserati is preparing to roll out the Levante crossover that promises to do for the Modenese marque what the Cayenne did for Porsche. Due in part to the success of its first crossover, Porsche turned itself from a niche sports car manufacturer into an immensely profitable automaker that was (nearly) capable of buying out the entire Volkswagen Group. Maserati's resurgence is part of a two-pronged assault FCA is plotting against its German rivals. Maserati will be charged with taking on the higher end of the Mercedes, BMW, and Audi ranges (from the E-Class, 5 Series and A6 upwards). Meanwhile, Alfa Romeo will go after the lower end of the luxury spectrum with the new Giulia (aimed at the C-Class, 3 Series and A4) and other models to follow. FCA aims to turn Maserati and Alfa Romeo (along with Jeep) into global brands, broadening the narrow geographical appeal they have held until now. In order to generate enough profit to support the rest of the group as Ferrari has, Maserati will need to find a way to increase its profit margins. Bloomberg reports that Ferraris command a 13-percent profit margin, and while the ten percent that Maseratis list for is still triple that of the FCA average, slow sales are forcing some dealers to offer deep incentives that cut significantly into that margin.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723
Fri, Apr 1 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
