Where 348 fits
Why 348 is special
It was widely criticised on handling at launch, and the response to that criticism shaped how the company developed every mid-engined model afterwards.

CCCXLVIII uses the subtractive pair XL: ten before fifty — fifty minus ten.

1 × 256 + 0 × 128 + 1 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 348

Hexadecimal

1 × 256 + 5 × 16 + c × 1 = 348
Read as powers of two: 256 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 348.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
3 coils of rope, 4 hobbles, 8 strokes
3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 8 × 1 = 348. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
5 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 8 vertical wedges (units place)
5 × 60 + 48 = 348. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
tau, then mu, then eta, marked as a numeral
tau-mu-eta + keraia
tau + mu + eta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
shin, then mem, then het
shin-mem-het
shin (300) + mem (40) + het (8) = 348, written in descending order.
Maya
3 bars + 2 dots (upper, twenties place) over 1 bar + 3 dots (lower, units place)
17 × 20 + 8 = 348. Places stack vertically with the smallest at the bottom, so the upper group is worth twenty times the lower.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
