The rich history of the Ferrari Mondial
The Ferrari Mondial is one of Maranello’s most underrated gems. Launched in 1980 as the successor to the 308 GT4, the Mondial was designed as a practical yet high-performance four-seater sports car. Styled by Pininfarina, it offered a unique combination of a mid-engine layout with both coupe and cabriolet options. The Mondial 3. 2, introduced in 1985, marked a significant leap forward in both performance and refinement. Powered by a 3. 2-liter V8 engine derived from the legendary 328, it delivered an exhilarating and dynamic driving experience.
Our Ferrari Mondial 3. 2, finished in the iconic Rosso Corsa paint and featuring a manual transmission, is a true tribute to this golden era of Ferrari. This 1986 model has a mileage of 157, 251 km and has been meticulously maintained. With a rich service history and a recently overhauled clutch, this Ferrari is not only a joy to own but also a delight to drive.
The legacy of Ferrari’s Mid-Engine V8s
Ferrari’s fascination with mid-engine V8s began in the 1970s with the introduction of the Ferrari 308 GT4. This model, featuring a transversely mounted 3. 0-liter V8, marked the beginning of a legendary lineup of sports cars focused on driving dynamics and performance. Its successor, the 308 GTB, further refined this engine and introduced Pininfarina’s signature design language.
Throughout the 1980s, Ferrari continued to perfect this technology, with the 328 and the Mondial 3. 2 standing as prime examples. Engine displacement and power output increased, while handling and balance improved significantly. In the 1990s, the F355 took the concept even further, incorporating a five-valve-per-cylinder head and producing a revolutionary exhaust note. This lineage continued with icons like the 360 Modena, the F430, and ultimately, the 458 Italia, all pushing the mid-engine V8 formula to new heights.
The Mondial 3. 2 plays a crucial role in this evolution, serving as a direct descendant of Ferrari’s rich mid-engine V8 tradition. This makes it not only a fantastic driver’s car but also an important piece of automotive history.

The Mondial 3. 2 offers a well-balanced blend of comfort and sportiness. Thanks to its mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive, the car feels nimble and responsive, with precise steering that connects you directly to the road. While some may consider the Mondial an "entry-level Ferrari," its performance tells a different story accelerating from 0 to 100 km/ h in just 6. 3 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 250 km/ h. This Ferrari is anything but slow it’s a machine that makes your heart race with every corner and thrilling burst of acceleration.
