Ron Sturgeon Collection Acquires Historic 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider

The Ron Sturgeon Collection has recently added a remarkable piece of automotive history to its ranks with the acquisition of the 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider. This vehicle is not just any classic car; it represents a pivotal moment in Ferrari's storied past, being the last V8 model developed under the direct oversight of Enzo Ferrari. Finished in a striking blue, the car is powered by a 3.4-liter DOHC V8 engine that produces 312 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a gated five-speed manual transaxle, offering an authentic analog driving experience that Ferrari enthusiasts cherish.

Designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, the 348 Spider introduced a new design language for Ferrari, featuring sharp angles and refined aerodynamics that set it apart from its predecessors. Inside, the car features a leather-wrapped cockpit equipped with Veglia Borletti instrumentation, including a 200-mph speedometer and a 7,500-rpm tachometer, blending performance with luxury. With only 8,000 miles on the odometer, this Ferrari 348 Spider is as mechanically sound as it is visually stunning.

Ron Sturgeon, the founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, commented on the acquisition, noting, 'This car represents the end of an era and the dawn of modern Ferrari performance.' The inclusion of the 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider in the Sturgeon Collection not only celebrates Ferrari's enduring legacy but also ensures that this significant piece of automotive history is preserved for future generations to admire and study.
