The 348 GT Competizione is a lightweight racing variant of the 348, unveiled by Ferrari in 1993 as a homologation model for the GT Championship; only 50 units were built, including 8 in right-hand drive. The engine produced 320 PS at 7000 rpm, the brake system was sourced from the F40 Evoluzione, and the suspension and exhaust were tuned for racing duty. Bumpers and doors were made of carbon-Kevlar, while air conditioning and soundproofing were omitted, yielding a dry weight of 1180 kg. A small run of uprated GTC models was produced with Michelotto in 1994; the Le Mans race cars feature F40 driveshafts.
