There are special V8 Ferraris, and then there are special V8 Ferraris...
Poor old Ferrari 348 - it never did get much love. Replaced by the prettier, more capable F355 in the mid-1990s and made to look a bit old hat by the Honda NSX when it was on sale, the GTB, GTS and Spider are not really regarded as Ferrari’s best V8 sports cars. But this isn’t any 348 -. And that makes it very, very special indeed. Because before there were Pistas and Speciales, before even the 355 Challenge, the GTC was Maranello’s rare and raw road racer.
It was first seen in 1994, with 50 units built to celebrate an Italian GT2 championship in 1993. It was also, effectively, a final edition for the 348, and what a way to go. Every single one was Rosso Corsa, with a unique exhaust for another 10hp from the 3.4-litre V8 as well as a lower final drive and better gear linkage.
