You don’t need ludicrous amounts of cash in the bank, if you fancy a fast and handsome supercar parked on your driveway.
You had the option of an F1 paddleshift gearbox, which was quicker and smoother than that found in the F355, or a gated six-speed manual gearbox. It could definitely move, with 0-62mph delivered in 4.5sec, followed by a top speed of 180mph-plus. A 360 can be sat on your driveway for as little as £49,950 but we spotted an immaculate 2000 39,000-mile example for £54,950. Running costs won’t be cheap however.
Ferrari listened to the cries, however, and put a lot of the wrongs right; over the 348’s lifetime, improvements were made to the handling dynamics and the build-quality. A 300bhp 3.4-litre V8 sat at the heart of the 348, making it quicker than its predecessor, the 328. It achieved 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds. The 348 was a great Ferrari entry point and still is. We saw a clean 1992 52,000-mile example for £42,500.
Its performance was blistering with 62mph arriving from a standstill in 4.4sec and it would keep going all the way to the 155mph limiter. And, what’s even better is that official 134mpg figure, although in the real world think more like 45mpg — still a majestic figure for a rocketship. We spotted a fine example for £39,000.Honda’s NSX rewrote the classic supercar checklist; so it said no to difficult gearboxes, questionable built-quality and ghastly visibility.
Nice
