About the Ferrari 348 tb Red Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 348 tb in red reproduces the mid-engine V8 coupe that succeeded the 328 in 1989. The "tb" designation marks its transverse gearbox, and the side strakes borrow directly from the contemporary Testarossa design language.
The 348 tb doesn't get the attention its Testarossa sibling does, but it carried Ferrari's V8 lineage into a new decade with a genuine engineering change under the skin. Bburago's red diecast is a modest but honest way to own that shape.
Bburago's Entry-Tier Take on a Late-1980s V8
This casting sits at Bburago's accessible end of the diecast range: a zinc alloy body with real hand-feel weight, opening doors, and a simplified engine bay rather than a fully detailed one. The red paint reads correctly for the era, laid on evenly if without the deep clear coat that costlier tiers apply. Panel gaps run a bit wider than mid-tier alternatives, an honest consequence of the price point rather than a defect. The wedge-shaped nose and Testarossa-style side strakes, which channel air to the rear-mounted radiators, are the details that most collectors judge the casting on, and Bburago gets the proportion of those strakes right even at this modest tooling level.
The tb Designation and What It Changed
Where the 328 used a longitudinal gearbox, the 348 moved to a transverse unit mounted beneath the engine, shortening the wheelbase-to-engine relationship and giving the "tb," for trasversale berlinetta, its name. That change, paired with a larger 3.4-liter V8, made the 348 a meaningfully different car underneath its familiar-looking body, not simply a facelift of the 328.
Filling Out a Ferrari V8 Timeline Affordably
Placed between a 328 and an F355 on a themed shelf, this 348 tb tells the transitional part of Ferrari's V8 story without demanding resin-level investment, a fair entry point for a chronology-minded collector.
