The Ferrari 348 Has The Weirdest Seatbelts You've Ever Seen, Among Other Quirks

It’s getting harder and harder to bag a relatively inexpensive mid-engined Ferrari. 360 Modena prices have long since bottomed out and made their way back up again, while the likes of the 355 and the 308/328 have experienced fairly shocking increases in value over the last few years.

So if you want a low-cost, mid-engined car from Maranello, chances are it’s going to have to be a 348. But the 348 is a poor excuse of a Ferrari, isn’t it? That’s certainly a common perception, but Doug DeMuro reckons the late 80s/early 90s supercar doesn’t deserve its shoddy reputation.

What’s more, it’s laden with odd and amusing quirks, including some properly bizarre seat belts, a frunk that’s front-hinged (making it difficult to load anything in), and a hilarious-sounding horn. Because what use is an old Italian sports car without character?
