THE FERRARI MONDIAL

Derived from the 308GT4 of 1973, which was the only production Ferrari not to have been penned by Pininfarina but by Bertone, the Mondial 8 was essentially a made-over 308GT4, but with Pininfarian-styled body and a longer wheelbase. It was the Maranello firm's first attempt at producing a 'world car' model and, to meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements of so many export markets, the famous 3-liter V8 engine had to be fuel-injected. A cleaner engine resulted in a loss of power and torque however. Happily for red-blooded Ferrari fans though, these vital statistics were restored with the introduction of the Quattrovalvole (4-valve) engine which became an option from the 1982 model year onwards. 1983 saw the introduction of a cabriolet version, the first soft-top Ferrari had made since the Daytona Spider. While in 1985, the Mondial engine was enlarged to 3.2 liters, resulting in increased power output and improved torque.

The Mondial was the Maranello firm's first attempt at producing a 'world car' model and, to meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements of so many export markets, the famous 3-liter V8 engine had to be fuel-injected. The slightly longer wheelbase did not negatively affect handling, but did lead to phenomenal high speed stability. A well sorted Mondial is truly a great GT car.
