In 1993 the ultimate street Ferrari 348 was built.
In order to complete in the international GT3 class 50 348 GTC
had to be made in a more potent and racier version.
It was called the Ferrari 348 GT Competizione or 348 GTC in short
and was the last and most extreme version made of the 348's.
The engine turned out 320 bhp, bodyparts like doors, sill
panels, bumpers and seats were lightened using Kevlar or
carbon fibre composite.
These cars could also be identified by their Speedline wheels
and Kevlar raceseats. The interior were stripped down from all
innecessities like carpeting and leather upholsery, making the
cars lot lighter than their normal Ferrari 348 TB/TS siblings.
More sutable accents were the drilled aluminium pedals and
Ferrari 348 GT Competizione inscription on the back of the car.
The 56 cars made, 48 LHD, 8 RHD also came with enamelled
Scuderia Ferrari shields on the side fender, little recessed
into the front wings they remind of the other special series
build by Ferrari, the 288 GTO and the legendary F40.
