2x FERRARI 348 TB – Walkaround, start-up and racing 2013

Here’s another video from one of greatest Official Ferrari Meeting in the south Italy, now in its 5th edition. Organized by “ROSSO SCUDERIA CATANZARO”, the biggest Ferrari Club of Calabria located in the wonderful city of Catanzaro, the Calabria’s chief town situated on the Ionio Sea Cost. The event is named “IL FASCINO DELLE FERRARI” and is a Memorial dedicated to Luca Zerilli, a boy died for SMA in 2008, and involves over 30 teams annualy to raise funds to fight this terrible disease.
This year 40 Ferraris from Basilicata, Puglia, Campania, Sicily, Lazio and Calabria atteded to inaugurate also the AMATO KART CIRUIT, so be sure not to miss any of the videos I’ve uploaded in the appropriate playlist.

In this video a pair of red Ferrari 348 TB that shows all their charm parading at the event giving me the possibility to film them in each detail like lights, engine, wheels and logo and to record the lovely sound of their italian V8 while racing on the Amato Kart Circuit and making cones slalom.

The Ferrari 348 is a Touring car produced by the Maranello’s Prancing Horse since 1989, to replace the always loved Ferrari 328.
Originally Ferrari produced this car in the classic version coupe TB (Trasversale Berlinetta) and cabriolet TS (Trasversale Spider) that took the place of the relative verison of the Ferrari 328.
Both were equipped with the same 3,4 litre V8 engine with four valve/cylinder associate to a 5-speed manual trasmission which developed 300 hp and 324 Nm of torque, reaching the 100 Km/h in only 5,6 seconds for a final Top Speed of 275 Km/h.
In 1993 Ferrari launched on the market three new versions namely the Ferrari 348 GTB (252 pieces made), GTS (137 made) and Spider (1.090 made). This upgrade added some little styling changes at the front grille and a chrome “CAVALLINO” logo at the TB an TS versions and a complete new line-up for the Spider, resulting the new complete convertible Ferrari after the Mondial Cabriolet.
The upgrade also introduced new power at its V8 which now produced 320 hp with the same torque of the TB and TS, but 0-100 acceleration time decreases to 5,4 seconds for a Max. Speed of over 270 Km/h.
With this same engine but with a new exhaust system, slick tyres, better brakes and upgraded aerodynamics the italian manufacture produced in the same year the Ferrari 348 Challenge.
In the next years other special edition of the car will be launched like the FERRARI 348 SERIE SPECIALE, produced in only 115 units and with 312 hp, the super rare Ferrari 348 Zagato (only 12 cars made) and the extreme Ferrari 348 GT Competizione, which inherited brakes and other components from the legendary Ferrari F40.
The production will over in 1995 when the car was replaced by the Ferrari F355 and with 8,844 units sold result one of most loved Ferraris ever since the first exemplar produced (a white TS sold in North America).
This was the last car produced under the supervision of Enzo Ferrari and the last Ferrari by Leonardo Fioravanti too.
The success of this car is also due to its efficient engine that today is the best Ferrari engine ever in terms of consumption (12-13 Km/l), so as to bring the Ferrari to use the 348 as a base to develop its probably best hypercar ever: the Ferrari Enzo.

Complete walk around with each detail like interior, wheels, engine, logo and lights, acceleration, drift and loud exhaust rev.
