Ferrari 348 1989

[carsforever]

MAMA MIA! This is my all-time favorite Ferrari

Main european rival of the early NSX

 

[RagingDaemon]

This one is definitely underrated. Definitely falls into a similar category with the 355. I have always liked this one.

 

[Andefir]

you definitely have my support on this one

MAMA MIA! This is my all-time favorite Ferrari

Why?

 

[carsforever]

Why?

Because I love its aerodynamics and how it looks

 

[Azure Flare]

The last truly awful Ferrari that was intended to be used as a car, for the road, by the rich assholes who buy them. The Honda NSX is the reason the 355 was so much better than this was.

 

[RagingDaemon]

If you hate this car with a fiery burning passion, that's cool with me, but do you have anything to back what you are saying? If you have driven one and it sucked, then let us know and that's cool. And whats with the rich assholes quote? The F40 or F50 and other assorted cars we love on here are far more expensive and exclusive than this car and can be bought by rich assholes as you put it.

It does have the mini Testarossa look but would Ferrari want this included in any game?

Why not? And yes I have seen it in at least one game but I can't remember which

 

[nick77]

Because they have so many better cars

 

[Aero2000]

Because they have so many better cars

And how do you know that the 348 is a bad car? I have only heard good things about the car, and it's a fun car to go for a ride with

Didn't say that

 

[Aero2000]

Didn't say that

Sort of... "Because they have so many better cars"

No, you are misunderstanding

 

[Aero2000]

No, you are misunderstanding

OKey but that was not so hard to do with that sentence

 

[kennylmao]

Nice! I still have the scale model of this car my uncle bought for me when I was a kid. Would be cool to see in the game.

 

[Neddo]

I always thought that this car was slow. How stupid I was. I always loved tha back of car and I still will

 

[alexnipi]

This would be a really fun track car

 

[matherto]

It would be nice in this instance if you got the opportunity to choose the year and trim.

You could then do.

FERRARI 348tb/ts '89 (Personally always liked the 348 more with the black lower sills/bumpers)

Then the 348gtb/gts as in the OP

Then the Spider

Then the best one, the GTC

Have the Challenge variant with a base model livery and maybe some of the Challenge series liveries it competed in too.

The press originally gave the 348 very good reviews and then the NSX came along. In comparisons it still did very well though the NSX being a little more user friendly helped it's cause. The Luca di Montezemelo came along and said the 348 was awful and the reputation stuck.

It's coming back into favour nowadays though and if you ask owners on forums they absolutely love their cars. Many people like the steering as opposed to the F355 because it's non-power assisted whereas the later car is supposed to have very light and vague power assisted steering.

He's just repeating old, tired words about these cars in much the same way as people base their opinions on what Clarkson says on Top Gear.
