The Ferrari 348 (Type F119) is a mid-engine V8-powered 2-seat sports car produced by Italian automaker Ferrari, replacing the 328 in 1989 and remaining in production until 1995, when it was replaced by the F355.

In 1993, Ferrari presented a light weight 348 GT Competizione variant as a homologation version for competing in the GT Championship.
Safety equipment such as a tool kit was carried over from the 348 Challenge. The braking system was derived from the F40 Evoluzione model.
The cars also had modified racing suspension and exhaust system.

Only 50 were made, including 8 Right Hand Drive models.

Upgrades to the GTC from the standard 348 include:

Extensive use of carbon/kevlar to reduce weight including to front and rear bumpers, seats (from the F40) doors and door sills & ECU covers
Unique 18” Speedline split rims & wider Pirelli tyres
Steering wheel with engraved limited edition number
Lightweight carpets
Special exhaust manifolds
Revised camber & castor settings
GT Competizione badging and enamel “Scuderia” Ferrari shields on each front wing – an emblem traditionally reserved at the time for racing Ferraris
Aluminium gearknob and pedals

Despite its lightened specification, the 348 GT Competizione still came with a normal array of comfort equipment to include air-conditioning, electric windows, electric mirrors and a high-end audio system.

No options were offered and customers had to make do with one colour scheme: Rosso Corsa with Rosso seats and Nero carpet.

As a result of its enhanced exhaust system, the 348 GT Competizione probably produced somewhere in the region of 330bhp to 340bhp although this was never officially confirmed by Ferrari.

Thanks to its lightened specification and free-flow exhaust system, performance figures were a slight improvement on the regular GTB, but handling was much-improved.
