Launched in 1993, the Ferrari 348 Spider was a long-awaited open-top sports car from the Modena-based marque. The new car bridged the 20-year gap to the last series production two-seater Ferrari soft-top, the Daytona Spider, which ceased production in 1973. Launched as the 348 coupé was upgraded, the 348 Spider ushered the open-top “Prancing Horse” into the 21st Century, with a stiff monocoque structure and a rear tubular sub-frame that significantly enhanced body rigidity with the roof removed. Into its stiffened chassis was dropped an enlarged 3,405 cubic-centimetre Tipo F119H twin-overhead cam, dry-sump V-8, producing 320 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via an open-gate five-speed manual gearbox and a self-locking differential.

This striking Giallo Ferrari example was delivered new to Portugal, imported by Viauto – Automóveis Lda of Porto and delivered to its first owner in Santo Tirso on 10 November 1993. The Ferrari is fitted with a black soft-top roof, over a black leather-trimmed interior, and features front and rear fog lights, air conditioning, electric windows, and heated door mirrors. It is accompanied by its factory tool kit, tyre inflation kit, and a selection of owner’s manuals. This 348 Spider has been used sparingly from new, showing just 13,291 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing.
