1994 Ferrari 348 Tb Challenge No. 14 Of 32 Built **no Reserve Auction** on 2040-cars
Lexington, Missouri, United States
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 The Challenge kit (which consisted of mostly now out-of-date safety equipment) would have been installed by the dealer in most Challenge cars.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. |

Race Recap: 2014 US Grand Prix goes the English way yet again
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Thankfully, the weekend's Formula One dramas all concerned events that happened off the track, with both Caterham and Marussia going into administration, after which a rumored boycott by the small teams was avoided. That gave the 18 drivers left on the grid freedom to focus on making the most of the Texas sunshine for Sunday's US Grand Prix.
Having finished two Free Practices behind teammate Mercedes AMG Petronas teammate Lewis Hamilton, the second one just .003 behind, Nico Rosberg said he had speed in hand and proved it during qualifying, beating Hamilton to the top spot by four-tenths of a second. Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa came behind, followed by Daniel Ricciardo in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari, the McLaren duo of Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen, Kimi Räikkönen in the second Ferrari, and little-team Sauber bursting out of the storm clouds into tenth, Adrian Sutil making the team's first-time Q3 appearance all year.
When it came time to race, the carbon-fiber fisticuffs began on the first lap.
Ferrari California T gets sharper edge with Handling Speciale package
Fri, Jan 22 2016It's been about two years since Ferrari updated the California to T-spec with a 3.9-liter, flat-plane crank, twin-turbocharged engine, and we found it to be a suitable change – rewarding to drive, and compelling to experience. Now Ferrari has introduced a new handling option, which will debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March, which should add a sharper edge to the roadster. Like most handling packages, the springs and dampers get the most attention. The magnetorheological dampers fitted to the conventional California T get changes that increase their response time to changing road conditions. As before, damper settings are controlled via the steering wheel manettino, and the most aggressive change is to be found in the Sport setting. The front springs are stiffer – 16 percent up front, 19 percent in the rear – which will aid body control in all axes. Ferrari claims that, overall, the setup only marginally reduces the ride comfort. It'll take driving a Handling Speciale-equipped car to find out. The changes go beyond just handling hardware. Shifts are faster in Sport mode, both in automatic and manual modes, thanks to recalibrated transmission logic. Ferrari's engineers also found some additional corner exit speed by tweaking the F1-Trac stability control system's programming. The company claims this tweak also helps with acceleration on bumpy surfaces. Cosmetically, the California Ts with the Handling Speciale package will feature a matte grille, a rear diffuser with matte-painted fences, and matte black tailpipes. A special-edition plaque, located in the cabin, is also standard, Finally, in a very Italian move, the exhaust note has been recalibrated "to underline the performance gains." That is to say, if you don't happen to have a skidpad handy to do a direct measurement of the increase in cornering capability – which, it should be noted, Ferrari doesn't quantify – the sportier sound will serve as a psychological reminder. There's no claim that the new exhaust system changes the engine's output – cars so equipped make the same 553 hp at 7500 RPM as the model we tested back in 2014. Look for the Handling Speciale package to debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
Ferrari LaFerrari is beautifully redundant
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The successor the Ferrari Enzo has officially bowed. Ferrari pulled the sheets back on the oddly named LaFerrari at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, calling the machine the "maximum expression" of what defines the automaker. In this case, that includes a 6.3-liter V12 engine with 789 horsepower married to a 160-hp electric motor. The combination is good for a full 949 hp and 663 pound-feet of torque, and Ferrari says the LaFerrari can punch to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Keep your foot planted and 124 mph will click by in a scant seven seconds, while top speed sits at a lofty 205 mph.
Engineers turned to a total of four different types of hand-laminatated carbon fiber to create a chassis that's both stiffer and lighter than would have otherwise been possible. With a 41/59 weight distribution, carbon-ceramic brakes and ultra-light calipers, the LaFerrari is unlike anything we've seen from the company to date. The automaker says its creation is the fastest in its long history. You can take a look at the in-depth press release below for more information, and be sure to check out the model's new site here.
