1994 Ferrari 348 GT Michelotto Competizione | 1994 Ferrari 348 GT Michelotto Competizione 82,500.00 USD 1994 Ferrari 348 GT Michelotto Competizione RM Auctions Automobiles of Amelia Island Collector Car Auction Amelia Island, Florida March 13, 2009 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot 150 - Sold at a price of $82,500 Est. 360 hp, 3,405 cc V8 engine, five-speed manual transaxle, four-wheel fully adjustable independent suspension with coil springs and Koni shocks, four-wheel vented disc brakes. Wheelbase: 96.5" Between 1993 and 1994, Ferrari answered the demands of its privateer racers by offering them an off-the-shelf 348 in full race guise, thanks to a partnership with Michelotto. This was in no way a dealer-installed option. The Michelotto Competizione cars were each fitted with a tuned version of the stock V8 that produced an impressive 360 horsepower, which required half shafts, borrowed from the F40 supercar. Modifications to the body included a Lexan rear window and lightweight alloy panels for the engine cover and deck lid. Carbon fiber was used extensively on the car with the doors, bumpers and undertray all being made of the still-new ultra light, super strong composite material. Extensive ducting was needed to cool the upgraded 15-inch ventilated Brembo disc brakes nesting within the massive 18-inch Speedline center-locking five-spoke magnesium wheels. The suspension system was specially designed by Michelotto with fully adjustable Koni dampers and revised geometry to reduce dive. To increase rigidity, gussets were installed around the engine bay and chassis. The interior of the Michelotto Competizione was stripped bare, fitted with an FIA roll cage, drilled aluminum pedals, a racing steering wheel and approved race seats. In total, only 11 Michelotto Competizione variants of the 348 were produced. Nine of these were put directly into collections and were never raced. The two that were raced proved to be very successful: one finished 8th in the GTU class at the 1994 Daytona 24 hours and the other clinched the Group 2 title in the 1993 Italian Supercar GT series. Of the 11 built, only four made it to American shores, including the 1994 Ferrari 348 GT Michelotto Competizione S/N 99107 presented here. It was shipped new to Florida's largest factory-authorized Ferrari Dealer, Shelton Sports Cars, December 16, 1994. To accommodate American FIA regulations, it had been special ordered with a fire-extinguisher system and Momo race seats in addition to all the other Michelotto modifications. Prior to its acquisition by the O'Quinn Collection, it had belonged to only two Ferrari enthusiast owners since new and had only seen limited track use. In fact, the odometer shows only 2,685 miles. In 1997, it was present at the Concorso Italiano, Carmel Valley, California. As a fully modified race car, the Ferrari is not street legal, and like any race car, RM Auctions highly advises a thorough inspection before bringing it to the race track. by Douglas |

1970 Ferrari 365GT 2 2 For Sale | 1970 Ferrari 365GT 2 2 For Sale 1970 Ferrari 365GT 2 2 For Sale By the second half of the 1960s, Ferraris were becoming ever more sophisticated, refined, and easier to drive. This was particularly true of the Ferrari 365 GT 2 2, which catered to an older audience less inclined to compromise. It is revealing that the four-seat models were in fact Ferrari's best-selling cars throughout the 1960s. The decade's final 2 2 was arguably the best. It was the Ferrari 365 GT 2 2, and it was introduced at the 1967 Paris Auto Show. The attractive Pininfarina coachwork resembled the Princess Lilian 330 Speciale shown earlier in the year, but with a longer wheelbase and different rear roofline and tail treatment. Its 4.4-liter V-12 was a bored-out version of the 330 GT 2 2 4.0-liter; this powerplant would also be used in the Ferrari 365 GTC & GTS. All had 320 horsepower at 6600 rpm. The chassis was similar to that of the 330 2 2, but with a wider track for increased interior and trunk room. The Ferrari 365 GT 2 2 was the first Ferrari 2 + 2 with independent rear suspension, following the lead of the 275 GTB and GTS, then the 330 GTC. In another first for Ferrari, the Ferrari 365 GT 2 2's rear wishbones, coil springs, Koni shocks, and antiroll bar were supplemented by a hydro-pneumatic self-leveling system. The Koni-developed setup was designed to compensate for the weight of rear passengers. The Ferrari 365 GT 2 2 was a superlative grand-tourer, with air conditioning, power windows, and power steering standard.
