The managing director of Manit Centermax Co., Ltd on Thepkrasattri Road, Ae bought his car five years ago because of its power.

F348 have two colours – red and yellow – but Ae choose the yellow one because it is more noticeable when he drives during the night.

I like the sound of the exhaust, it shows the strength of the car,’’ he smiled.

The 348 was introduced to Britain in 1989 as a replacement for the 328. It is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive and two seat sport car.

Up on power, the 348 had a 3.4 litre V8 engine producing 300 horsepower with five manual gears.

Like all other Ferrari cars, F348 is known for its great quality and high-tech design.
