Ferrari's new 348 model was launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September of 1989, and featured a monocoque main structure. It shared its V-8 engine with the Mondial, but was enlarged to 3.4-liters and mounted longitudinally in a steel rear sub-frame with a transverse gearbox. It wore Pininfarina styling and provided continuity with the prior 308/328 models while having several styling cues of the Testarossa. Top speed was achieved at 170 mph.

The Ferrari 348 was given a fully independent suspension system with revised geometry and a low center of gravity, thanks to the engine's low placement within the chassis. At all four corners were large-diameter discs with ABS. The initial bodystyle was the 'TBZ' Berlinetta and 'TS' Targa form; a full-convertible Spyder made its debut in 1994.

Production of the 348 continued through mid-1995 when it was succeeded by the F355.
