Just read all of the above, and it's confused ME!! So forgive my giving my own "version of events"...
348 Serie Speciale
Launched December 1992
100 made (split between both tb and ts versions - not clear how many of each)
US only
Body coloured sills
Revised front spoiler - lipped a little like the F40 (!!!)
No rear grill - (horrible IMHO)
10bhp more power due to exhaust stuff
wider rear track
Leather sports seats
Along the same lines, UK Importer Maranello Concessionaires offered a very similar version to the UK market - the "Maranello Speciale" - unfortunately they only made 4 of them. Even more unfortunately, I missed out on buying one last year by a couple of days
348 Challenge
Kevlar racing seats with six-point harnesses
Roll cage
Challenge steering wheel and exhaust
Fire extinguisher
Drilled pedals
Battery cut-off switches
All-round brake ducting
Plastic parking light covers
Front and rear tow hooks
Solid suspension bushings
Neither is the same as the 348 GT Competizione, 348 Competizione LM, 348 GT Competizione or 348 Zagato Elaborazione - which were considerably more exotic beasts :green:
