The Ferrari 348 Spider (convertible), not to be confused with the 348 ts and GTS, was introduced in 1993 and was Ferrari's first series production convertible model since the Daytona Spider. Visual changes for the spider included body colored lower cladding pieces, a specially designed engine cover and a manual folding soft top. The rear track was increased by 50 mm (2.0 in) compared to the 348 tb. The Spider used the same 3.4 liter engine as the 348 GTB and GTS models and hence benefitted from the increased power output to 312 hp (233 kW; 316 PS) and 316 hp (235 kW; 329 hp) (Europe). It was available until 1995.
