I am regrettably listing my 1994 Challenge car. It is #14 of 32 built and one of the few that was never converted or raced. The 348C's and a handful of the 355C's are the only ones that were issued titles for road use. My plan was to strip the car down to race trim and use it for both road and track. The Challenge cars are the rare few that you can modify and actually have the value increase. Ferrari built 32 348C's in 1994, 100 Series Speciale cars in 1993 and 15 additional Series Speciale cars in 1994. These are the only limited production 348's for the US market. The Challenge kit (which consisted of mostly now out-of-date safety equipment) would have been installed by the dealer in most Challenge cars.  The car currently has not had any of the Challenge package installed, but came with the racing pedals, roll cage mounts, different steering wheel and a few other Challenge items from the factory. This 348 is eligible to run in the Challenge Club Racing Championship/CCR Forza Tifosi Challenge.

She is Rosso Corsa on tan and has 64,400 miles with a major service (engine out) completed on June 25, 2013 at 62,500 miles. The service included new Hill tensioners, new injectors, plugs, belts, water pump, only two valves needed a re-shim, fluids, a couple bearings in idlers/tensioners, gaskets, air cleaner and new tires. The A/C components are intact. However, I planned on removing them and did not recharge the system at the time of service. The car drove great from its previous home of Los Angeles to it's current home in Kansas City immediately following the service. The seats are not in the greatest condition, but the rest of the interior is nice. As you can see, the exterior looks great, but is not flawless. There are a couple knicks and light scratches. I also have a new chrome Cavallino on the way for the rear grill. She is definitely the right color and still makes me smile every time I tell her goodnight.

348's are great and weather permitting we drive them everyday. The only reason I am selling this one is to cover a 430 Challenge project I am purchasing. We also own another 348 SS/Challenge or I would not even think of turning loose of this one.  So take this opportunity to add one of the few collectible 348's to your stable. Remember.. they only built 32 of these.

I can offer enclosed delivery to the east coast this month for a small fee. I can also provide indoor storage if needed, but the car will need to be paid for in full within 7 days of auction close.

Please feel free to call with any questions. 480-334-8251 (12pm to 8pm cst)

Thank you.

2015 Chinese Grand Prix shines bright sun on the dark days of racing

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Yes, we tuned into the Formula One Grand Prix in Shanghai China to see a race. But we all know we really tuned in to see if Ferrari, or any other team, could make it a competitive race with Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Based on qualifying, things didn't get off the best of starts: Lewis Hamilton made it four-out-of-four at the front, leading all three Free Practice sessions and then taking pole position in his Mercedes. Nico Rosberg is making the most of his time in the simulator, getting closer to Hamilton as the months go by. This time he lined up in second, just 0.042 in arrears. Ferrari did its best to temper expectations after Malaysia. Even though Sebastian Vettel qualified in third, almost a second behind Hamilton, the Scuderia's race pace is still considered a danger. Kimi Raikkonen's final hot lap went sour in Turn 3 and dropped the Finn to sixth place on the grid. In between the Ferraris, Williams is another team desperately working to maintain its advantage, and both of its drivers capitalized on Raikkonen's misfortune. Felipe Massa took fourth, Valtteri Bottas was in fifth. Daniel Ricciardo led the Infiniti Red Bull Racing charge in seventh, ahead of Romain Grosjean in the Lotus earning a spirits-lifting eighth. The two Saubers continue to show how good the Ferrari engine is, with Felipe Nasr taking ninth position and teammate Marcus Ericsson in tenth. Yet when the lights went out, so did the racing, for the most part. At the end of the first lap, because of some excellent moves by Raikkonen on both Williams' and a terrible start by Ricciardo that dropped him to seventeenth, the order was Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Raikkonen, Massa, Bottas, Grosjean, Nasr, Ericsson, and Pastor Maldonado in the Lotus rounding out the top ten. At the end of the race, the only positions that had changed were the final two: Ricciardo had a laps-long battle with Ericsson, passing, getting repassed, then passing again to take ninth for good, with Ericsson finishing tenth. Maldonado suffered the worst in a battle with Jenson Button in the McLaren, when Button misjudged the entry into Turn 1 for a pass and clouted the back of the Lotus. Button was able to finish but Maldonado had to retire. Yes, there were some decent moments in between, like Bottas getting by Massa at the start, then Raikkonen getting past Massa in the first few corners and the Finn's move on Bottas also letting Massa through.

Ferrari looks to cut 20% total C02 emissions over 7 years

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

In the late 1970s, performance cars suffered a huge blow when the necessity for better economy and lower emissions crippled their power. It took nearly a decade for the horsepower to return. Today, we're in the middle of another push for greater vehicle efficiency, but don't expect another era of malaise this time. Instead, lightweight materials, turbos and hybrids mean that everyone can be happy. However, the pressure to clean up isn't just for the mass market, supercars must improve too, but Ferrari at least seems to be taking on the challenge in stride.
Ferrari Powertrain Director Vittorio Dini recently told Automotive News Europe that the Prancing Horse will improve its current average C02 emissions of 270 grams per kilometer by 20 percent by 2021, to reach about 216 grams of C02 per kilometer. To achieve these lofty ambitions, the company will exploit a relatively simple path. "In the future, all of our V8s will use turbos," said Dini said to ANE. Also, its V12s will use hybridization because it'll be a better choice for them compared to the heat of multiple turbos, he claimed.
The first steps of this strategy are already in front of us. The new California T ditches its naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a smaller displacement, more powerful turbocharged unit, and the LaFerrari is already using the hybrid V12. Dini's quote certainly lends some credence to the rumor that the 2015 refresh for the 458 Italia may use an even more powerful version of the California's turbo V8. With a new Ferrari model planned for each year between now and 2018, the Prancing Horse seems unperturbed by any threats posed by emissions.

Le Mans-raced 1953 Ferrari 340/375 MM headed to auction

Sat, 09 Feb 2013

Vintage Ferrari models show up on the auction circuit all the time, but few can match this particular '53 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione in terms of historical significance. Not only did the machine compete in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans, but this particular model managed to finish in second place before being disqualified for taking on extra brake fluid during a stop. More importantly, a total of three Formula One world champions have driven this car in competition at events like the Spa 24 Hours, Pescara 12 Hours and the Circuit of Guadeloupe.
The coolest part for us? Umberto Maglioli managed to set a public road stage record with this machine during the Carrera Panamericana by averaging 138 miles per hour over 223 miles. The effort was good enough to land the team a sixth place finish overall, and the record still stands to this day for any road stage anywhere. The 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione is up for auction in restored condition at the RM Auction event in Paris this week. Check out the full press release below for more information.
