The rich history of the Ferrari Mondial The Ferrari Mondial is one of Maranello's most underrated jewels.

Designed by Pininfarina, it offered a unique combination of mid-engine, coupé and cabriolet versions. The Mondial 3. 2, introduced in 1985, represented a major step forward in terms of performance and refinement. This model was powered by a 3. 2-litre V8 engine, derived from the legendary 328, offering a powerful and exhilarating driving experience.

The history of mid-engine V8s at Ferrari Ferrari's fascination with mid-engine V8s began in the 1970s with the introduction of the Ferrari 308 GT4. This model, powered by a transverse 3. 0-litre V8, marked the beginning of a legendary line of sports cars focused on driving dynamics and performance. Its successor, the 308 GTB, perfected this engine while introducing the iconic Pininfarina lines. In the 1980s, Ferrari continued the evolution of this technology with the 328 and the Mondial 3. 2, two flagship models. Displacement and power were increased, while balance and handling were continually improved. In the 1990s, the F355 marked a revolution by adopting a five-valve cylinder head and an inimitable engine sound. Subsequently, iconic models such as the 360 Modena, the F430 and finally the 458 Italia pushed the limits of Ferrari's mid-mounted V8 engine.
