The Ferrari Mondial is a 4-seater grand tourer produced in between 1980 and 1993. It was sold as a 2-door coupe and convertible. It had a raised roofline, larger dimensions and weight to accommodate rear seats for occasional seating of children or small adults. The car’s name (Mondial – French for global) reflected its worldwide compliance with safety and emissions standards from the 1980s.
The Ferrari Mondial 8 was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1980 and was in production until 1982. It was also the first Ferrari to depart from the simple 3-digit naming system. The car was powered by a 2.9-litre mid-rear-mounted V8 engine, which was mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
