The 610 WHP Twin-Turbo, Flamespitting Ferrari 348 Challenge 

Most people would mess with a 348, sadly. Very under-appreciated car in it's stock form. Not saying modding them is bad, however.

telling you David, you needa drive a 9500 limit b18x spec r turbo, AMAZING

Christian Gallardo what is a b18x spec r turbo?

eeeen321 Civic or Integra I'm assuming.

07CVPI Yuck >.

I know a guy that has a 599 with a gated shifter that he is selling for one of his friends if I recall correctly.

amen brother

Gundemon Nicolas Cage had a manual 599 but he sold it

I have a feeling a special edition manual homologation model will be made in the future.

Yes! Thank you! AMEN!

Amen

jutubaeh no matter the car, if it has a good sound, it will be appreciated

amen to that

+Rhod Wulf yes!

I agree I like almost all cars for what they are. Exept the prius. I think we all hate it lmao

They're probably too busy making the money needed to be able to afford and maintain one.

+OneTallOrder Exactly why I find the 348 a tempting one to buy. A Ferrari that's actually usable and maintainable.

***** If that is your dream (and it's a valid one, its like owning a 1:1 scale model of the car you love), then I'd argue it's qute achiavable for almost anyone. Just buy one without an engine/gearbox, and sit it in your garage. Sounds stupid but many collections are made from non-runners as show peices. Even a rusty wreck looks great in the right setting.

sleepybird09 Cars are made to be driven, not sit in a garage being look at...

Honestly this video has made it apparent you can mod and work on a Ferrari you just gotta have the balls to do it, I'd love to see a twin turbo f430 manual that'd be an absolute weapon as well

Only in L.A.

Same here, i love that car

I keep coming back to it.. Ear-gasm heaven

At least my third watch, huge inspiration for my own project cars as well.

The launch control scene OMG

Checking in for the 10th time

+Marcus Mar Very good.

+Marcus Mar "Yeah bitch, I do." :D

+The Mind of Sorin I love Matt.

loved that bit....

I laughed too. Only in L.A.

Matt Maran Motoring SUBARUWRXFAN ILY😍

Oh no, I just dug my own grave didn't I lol. Not the prius is it :'( ??

I don't get it

Steven Slead they look the same

NUFCFTW9 Not even in the slightest?

Steven Slead Just a bit. ;)

I was thinking more nissan 200SX from the rear lol

thanks!

Love the idea, but maybe poor execution attaching that plate to a bright yellow Ferrari. I don’t think the officer is going to need the exact plate number to track down the car 😅

the center console is aluminum. just painted black.

Then....its perfect.

the miss matched seats.....ugh that bothers me.

In a different part of the video it shows matched Ferrari seats. They may have changed them for Matts ride in the car.

i prefer carbon over aluminum but both would look great

H Mack But then you don't get the jet engine noises.

Cockatoo, Enzo generally detested turbo engines. 288 GTO - that's why in 1984 Enzo only approved the 2 very small turbo's for (my favourite )Ferrari the now ludicrously expensive 288 GTO. However, Enzo was humiliated by t h e Porsche 959. Ferrari engineers beefed up the turbo's on the 288 GTO. Five 288 GTO Challenge were then built. These currently retail from $US 7 - 10 million. F40 - strict European emissions on cars and on Formula One saw turbo engines on everything post-1984. Mighty F 40 - Enzo then ordered up and oversaw the F 40. Enzo, after the 959 humiliation wanted the F40 to be THE Ferrari everyone wants ! Unfortunately, Enzo passed away before the F40 was officially launched. His dream was realised as even hardcore Porsche and Lamborghini fans love the F 40 and it is the first car purchased for people with money when ordering the big 5 !

@@CockatooDude i like turbo cars but the engine sound of ferraris is already insane without turbos this one and the 599GTO

+Michael Tarantino thats kind of the whole reason they became tuners...

Well yeah. I mean look at BMW. If somebody goes Turbo with an e46 you can hear the engine and turbo working together. The new f series 3 series just sounds like a vacuum.

When an engine is tuned from the factory it has just the right amount of boost and piston compression at all times and this efficiency provides great performance but lacks a lot of character. That's why aftermarket systems are always less reliable but always more fun.

I find it gorgeous as well

nope, im 21 and i think this car is absurdly beautiful.

19 and certainly wouldn't disagree with you.

18 and agree absolutely.

+GrimeHubTV and the side intakes, accent lines, front... Similar yes... The same? You are officially blind!

I think you wouldn't like driving the heavy clutch and pedal offset way to the right. It wasn't until Ferrari 360 when pedals were more pactical

@Robert Sacamano A Tesla will look better? Out handel? Sound better than a 488? Give you more driving passion as you drive the mountains than a 488? Wow thats amazing 😁

jippalippa I absolutely agree. I really like the lines on the 80’s vs 90’s....

@Robert Saca exactly. Im looking at 348s right now they have that great mechanical driving feel

I have also taken that path here haha

me too

Haha same!

the stock seat was shockingly small in that car, and they had an extra laying around. swapping it out was a nice gesture. the day was much more pleasant beacuse of it.

TheSmokingTire Hah, i can imagine that was good. Older Ferrari's have so little space it's ridicilous.

TheSmokingTire I'd change the seat in my car for you Matt, don't listen to Bruno. He drives a Jetta.

Max Rudell I drive a Golf, and I love it to death. I am also fat. I was merely curious on whether the owner had a bigger seat, or if Matt carries one with him.

Bruno Oliveira pointless I know. But as an architect, these small things tend to intrigue me. Matt is not morbidly obese, he's just big enough to beat up a small group of people.

They're surprisingly cheap nowadays too, since noone wants to buy them, due to the lack of power Matt mentioned in the video. Definetively a car to be on the lookout for.

Nicolai Riasaka They also have a ridiculous upkeep so "cheap" is a very relative term.

+gr33nspan True, but simply purchasing one is pretty cheap. Every Ferrari has ridicilous upkeep though, that's true. But there's no doubt about, 348 prices have fallen alot.

gr33nspan depends how drastically you are willing to swap ferrari parts out for parts more available. (a sin to some people, i am aware)

@@ogentor_no Looking at this comment in 2020, they've gone from $40k to $75k for one in decent shape. Goddamn.

handles great. very predictable. Understeers in low-speed hairpins, but that's to be expected from a mid-engined car.

nice eye.

Very nice eye.

I knew I saw that from somewhere...

I saw that S2000 start button! Obviously had to borrow that from the best car ever made!!

You want the boost! You can't handle the boost bitch

now that's nerdy :)

actually sir im sorry but when the 348 challenge was made they used OMP thats why they are used in this car. and AP racing brakes work a lot better than the Brembo and they wanted it to work no have the correct brakes necessarily.

It's cause Brembos suck xD

Corey Maxwell Didnt know about the OMP but theres nothing wrong with Brembo, Ive used them for years on my Porsches

who gives a fuck lol

haha! If a cop chasing him was dyslexic he'd have an even harder time reading that.

Might be more effective as an anti-ticket measure if it wasn't on such a distinctive car though!

people complain about there not being enough videos. So we make more videos. now they are complaining that we should make the videos but save them and not share them? I will never understand people.

I'm not complining just think its tuned material, its an awsome car no, and a great review no matter what...

Juan Carlos Lang The Smoking Tire has been making films of modified cars since 2009, three years before Tuned even existed.

I know men, was just an opinion btw I've been follow you since g419 days ...don't get mad ...

Juan Carlos Lang sorry, it's just like there's always a reason for things, and we don't always share it. We don't know when Tuned is coming back, so in the interim, to satisfy demand, we went out and filmed some tuner cars for TST, because people were asking for tuner cars.

smoke em...

the metal "gate" that the shift lever goes through. as opposed to a leather boot like you see in most cars.

dumbass ponies...

***** ??

***** No thanks. They probobly jack off to animated ponies. what is wrong with this generation...

"bronies" is a term that under-educated auto hipsters use to make themselves feel like they know more than your average auto junkie

The black rim option has tires on it that aren't as good as the silver rims. look at the plaque at :35.

Steven Slead You sir, have a good eye.

Meh. I just know the car.

Steven Slead haha ya Mr. Slead you do.

nah I think the wheels looks mint as they are, look way ahead of their time

It's heavy?

Steven Slead 3100 pounds for any small ferrari is heavy

I guess. Like Matt mentioned, it's lighter than a modern 458 and also weighs nearly the same as an F430. It's not that heavy.

Steven Slead the wheelbase and track are also significantly smaller

Plus, it's built in 1994. What do you think it's gonna be, carbon body? No. C'mon dude, it's not a modern car.

What model was it?

It's a 599. GTB Fiorano.

Johnny Barrett We had a 599 in the fleet. It was a nightmare. Check engine lights that get cleared only to come back a day later, O2 sensors failing weekly, parts taking forever to get there, and of course the 1000% dealership markup on some basic parts when our power seat stopped working. I would never, ever take another Ferrari to a dealership for anything out of warranty again.

Johnny Barrett Can you please send me some basic information on your 599? I might have a potential buyer for you. I just need location, service history, mileage, price, etc. Thanks.

Jason Garrett It's a 2008 Ferrari 599 GTB with the F1 package it has a 6.0L 48V V12 engine with 25,000 miles on it and it's for sale for 100,000 my email is johnnybarrett13@yahoo.com send me yours. if still interested in it.

Mother of god I want to test drive this

That is what id like to refer to as: Legit As Balls.

Whats wrong with the launch control?

Steven Slead There's nothing wrong with it.. It's just that it was designed for the new flappy paddle automated manual cars.. Y'know, they have no clutch, so there was no way to launch them quickly until launch control came along..

bliglum Launch control isn't just made for cars with paddles. The new Viper has a launch control system, it's total crap, but it has it. Launch control would work in any manual car.

Steven Slead Well, you said it.. "it's total crap".. Launch control for a manual transmission car is pointless.

No, when i say it's total crap, i mean the system they put in it is total crap. Not because the car is manual. Have you ever tried launch control in manual? It's just as good as a car with paddles. Close to no difference.

But the point is, I'm a purist and this car pleases me because it keeps the Ferrari pedigree while being utterly ridiculous.

ClydeYellow Exactly. The 348 was an ugly duckling in the Ferrari family tree (like the 400i), and these guys took a beater 348 and turned it into a 458 killer. If thats a disservice then fuck the service, they did good here. The sound was glorious as well.

Moto Virus, are you joking?

Not even at those speeds. Probably begin to pull at like, 100-110

typical GTR fan, you are the worst in the world!

I should clarify that I am sarcastically making fun of GTR fanboys largely because Matt Farah and the TST crew can't stand them :D I would take this beast of a Ferrari over a GTR any day

you are so right, they're always bragging about their imaginary Alpha GTR with 1000000000000000000hp. :)

***** Also, for every one-off interesting tuner that the TST crew makes a video of, there are a half dozen GTR fanboys posting the question "why would you get this, just buy a GTR" ...and that completely misses the point of the video!

un-true.

***** far from it... I'm 22 years old, but frustrated at the way forced induction is everywhere now...

***** its true, the 348 Chassis was not the best in its day, nor was the 3.4 V8. I do love the look of these older Ferrari's though, and can imagine how a bit more displacement and the 5V head in the F355 add up to probably 650 RWHP given the same settings.

***** At least they didn't just throw a huge turbo on it and call it good like most of the forced inductions you see today

David Gonzalez it may not have been the very best, but it was still good. Steven Slead that would be sacrilege on a Ferrari, but equally, it could be quite fun on something designed to be turbocharged. Manageable low power from idle to 4000rpm followed by lots of boost... perhaps have a switch to hold the wastegate open for when you don't want the boost...

You probably think the Veneno is the most beautiful car ever created.

No .. i think mclaren p1 is most beutifull car

Ahhh man I'm sorry

Steven Slead venenos are a dissapointment to lambroghini

Shut up
