FERRARI 348 TB – Walkaround, start-ups and REV 2014 HQ

Here’s another video from a new great Official Ferrari Meeting in the south Italy this year at its 1th edition. Organized by “SCUDERIA FERRARI BARI”, the greatest Ferrari Club of Puglia in the wonderful TAVOLIERE DELLE PUGLIE. Matera will be the “CAPITALE EUROPEA DELLA CULTURA” (EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE) 2019.
This Ferrari Club organize a lot of events which attract the partecipation of over 30 teams from each parts of Italy. This year 31 Ferraris and other supercars from Basilicata, Puglia, Campania, Sicily, Lazio and Calabria atteded at the festival, so be sure not to miss any of the videos I’ve uploaded in the appropriate playlist.
The event was named FERRARI TRA I SASSI and tries to combine passion and culture visiting the suggestive locations of MATERA, the second town of Lucania and also known as “LA CITTA’ SOTTERRANEA” (the Subterranean City), for its historical center called “Sassi”, considered World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, along with the Park of the Rupestrian Churches. The Sassi originate from a prehistoric settlement, and are suspected to be some of the first human settlements in Italy. The Sassi are houses dug into the calcareous rock, with many of these “houses” that are really caverns, and the streets in some parts of the Sassi often are located on the rooftops of other houses. The ancient town grew in height on one slope of the ravine created by a river that is now a small stream. The ravine is known locally as LA GRAVINA.
The event was enrich still more by real F1 car (Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari F2004) with wich 33 Fans’s teams could compete in an authentic PIT-STOP Challange to win a special prize, by a Ferrari WRAPPING EXHIBITION with an original Ferrari 348 TB wrapped with a 3D “Black carbon” roof like another supercar present at the show, the Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO HGTE Special Edition built for Tony Camassa, a legend of FERRARI CHALLENGE CHAMPIONSHIP, who was the star of the show.

In this video a stunning red Ferrari 348 TS with italian driving licence plate takes part at the event giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, cavallino logo and to record its noisy start-up and its lovely sound while driving.

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, driving, LOUD starting-up and really noisy exhaust rev sound.
