Nick Taylor driving a 1994 Ferrari 348 GT Competizione in the Sprint event at motorsport at the palace Ferrari 348 is a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive V8-powered 2-seat sports car by Ferrari , replacing the 328 in 1989 and continuing until 1995. The 348, badged 348 tb for the coupé (Trasversale Berlinetta) and 348 ts (Spider) for the targa versions, features a naturally aspirated version of the quad-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine which was originally found in the 288 GTO sports car. As with its predecessors, the model number was derived from this configuration, with the first two digits being the displacement and the third being the number of cylinders. The engine, which produced 300 hp (224 kW), was mounted longitudinally and coupled to a transverse manual gearbox, like the Mondial t with which the 348 shared many components. This was a significant change for Ferrari, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission. The "T" in the model name 348 tb and ts refers to the transverse position of the gearbox. Overall, 2,895 examples of the 348 tb and 4,230 of the 348 ts were produced.
