Description
The rich history of the Ferrari Mondial The Ferrari Mondial is one of Maranello's most underrated jewels. Launched in 1980 as the successor to the 308 GT4, the Mondial was conceived as a practical, high-performance four-seater sports car. 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. Our Ferrari Mondial 3. 2, in the iconic Rosso Corsa colour and equipped with a manual gearbox, pays tribute to this golden age of Ferrari. This 1986 model has clocked up 157, 251 km and has been meticulously maintained. With a full service history and a recently overhauled clutch, this Ferrari is not only a pleasure to own, but also to drive. 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. The Mondial 3. 2 represents a key chapter in this evolution, a direct link to Ferrari's rich tradition of mid-mounted V8 engines. This makes it not only an exceptional car to drive, but also a piece of automotive history.
