Ferrari Mondial

Mondial 8 (1980-1982) 703 produced

The Mondial 8 was announced at the 1980 Geneva Salon, as the replacement for the Dino 308 GT4 model. The "Mondial" part of the model title was a reference to Ferrari's history, referring to the mid fifties sports racing model of that name, whilst the figure "8" was for the number of cylinders in the engine. It was the first Ferrari production road car to be fitted with fuel injection as standard equipment from new. The body design came from the pen of Pininfarina, and it was larger in virtually every area, apart from engine size, than its predecessor.

 Production Years.....1980–1993
 Models Produced......6,884
 Model Years............1981-1993
 Assembly................Modena, Italy

The cabin was certainly roomier and lighter than that of the 308 GT4, but then it should have been as the wheelbase had been increased by 100mm, whilst the front and rear tracks had grown by 35mm and 57mm respectively. The larger body added to the mass of the car by some 144 kg, which coupled to the fuel injection system resulted in somewhat leisurely performance in comparison to the 308 GT4.

As with the concurrent Ferrari 2 seat V8 models, the Mondial 8 continued the wedge body shape theme with the radiator grille beneath the front bumper. Where the 2 seat models had very slim satin black bumpers, the Mondial 8 had a much heavier wrap-around black plastic assembly incorporating driving, side and indicator light units at the front, with a similar assembly at the rear, which although balanced looked heavy in comparison. Another design feature that drew comment and controversy, were the large trapezoidal air intake grilles for the engine bay on the body sides behind the doors. This was particularly so on very early examples where they were painted satin black rather than body colour, making their presence even more obvious, especially on light coloured bodywork.

The main European market Mondial 8 models had a tubular steel chassis with factory type reference F 108 AL 100. This featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be dropped out of the car as a single unit, for ease of maintenance. This feature continued throughout the life of the series. The body was constructed from steel, with an aluminium front lid and engine cover. As with the concurrent 2 seat models a luggage compartment was provided in the tail of the car behind the engine bay, but on the Mondial 8 it had a separate lid.

The V8 engine of the Mondial 8 was basically the same design as that used in the 308 GT4 model, but fitted with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli MED 803A Digiplex electronic ignition to produce a claimed 214 bhp. It was of a 90 degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, having a total capacity of 2926cc, with a bore and stroke of 81mm x 71mm, featuring wet sump lubrication, and bearing factory type reference F 106 B 000 for European market cars. The engine was transversely mounted in unit with the all synchromesh five speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's sump.

The interior featured four bucket seats, those at the rear separated by a large central armrest with an elasticated oddment pocket above it. The main instruments and switches were contained in a horizontal rectangular nacelle in the dash top in front of the driver, with ancillary switches in the centre console between the seats to the rear of the open gear change gate. This panel then dropped, with a vertical face containing the radio, to a horizontal section housing a systems monitor panel, then running back to the rear ashtray between the seat belt clips.

The Mondial 8 was produced between 1980 and 1982, in the road car odd number chassis sequence in the range 31075 to 41727, with a total of 703 examples being made. It was produced in both left and right hand drive form, with variations to the basic specification for various world markets, the most obvious of these being the side marker lights on the body sides for USA market cars.



Mondial Quattrovalvole (1982-1985) 1145 produced

While all manufacturers (including Ferrari on its smaller capacity V8s) were pursuing the turbo route to increase power and performance (at the cost of higher fuel consumption and more costly mechanics), .

for this more mainstream sports car Ferrari's engineers decided to opt for the 4-valve per cylinder engine. With a 32-valve head, the 240 bhp Mondial was basically equipped with the same technical modifications as adopted for the 308. The result was a more revvy and powerful engine that helped underline the car's overtly sporty nature

The Mondial Quattrovalvole succeeded the Mondial 8 model in 1982, with the Quattrovalvole part of the model title referring to the adoption of four valves per cylinder, instead of the two used on the preceding model. The new four valves per cylinder heads produced a significant increase in power output, and thus road performance, which had been a criticism of the Mondial 8, even though it was still ahead of most cars on the road at the time.

As with the Mondial 8, the Mondial Quattrovalvole continued the same wedge body shape theme with the radiator grille beneath the front bumper. The overall shape was identical to the preceding model, including the black plastic wrap around bumpers front and rear, together with the large trapezoidal air intake grilles for the engine bay on the body sides behind the doors, and paired circular rear light assemblies. Although the exterior remained unchanged, apart from the replacement of the Mondial 8 badge with Mondial Quattovalvole badging to the tail panel, the interior was lightly modified, mainly in respect of the centre console layout. The console was extended forward to meet the front bulkhead, and the ventilation controls incorporated into it, whilst the radio position moved from behind the gear change to a more clearly visible location ahead of it. The door panels had revised pattern pockets and pulls, whilst the leather rim steering wheel became plain spoke (instead of slotted) with a satin black finish.

The main European market Mondial Quattrovalvole models had a tubular chassis with factory type reference F 108 BL 100, which featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

Apart from the four valves per cylinder heads, the V8 engine of the Mondial Quattrovalvole was basically the same design as that used in the Mondial 8 model, fitted with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli MED 803A Digiplex electronic ignition to produce a claimed 235bhp for main European market versions, and 230bhp for US market versions. It was of a 90 degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, having a total capacity of 2926cc, with a bore and stroke of 81mm x 71mm, bearing factory type reference F 105 A 000 for European market cars. In the engine bay the Quattrovalvole engine can be identified by the elegant red crackle finished intake casting, with machined aluminium ribs and bearing the script Ferrari Quattrovalvole. The engine was transversely mounted in unit with the all synchromesh five speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's wet sump. The model featured independent suspension via wishbones, coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers all round, with front and rear anti roll bars.

As with the concurrent 2 seater models both right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specification models. Mondial Quattrovalvole models were produced prior to the chassis number 75000, from which point both odd and even numbers were used for chassis numbers, thus all cars in this series carry odd number only chassis numbers. They were produced between 1982 and 1985, during which time 1145 examples were produced, in the chassis number range 41737 to 59131.



Mondial Cabriolet (1983-1985) 629 produced

Nine years after its last open-top car (the 365 GTS4) had gone out of production, Ferrari came back with a 2+2 spider. By a bit of canny engineering, Pininfarina managed to give the canvas top the same line as the coupé. In fact, it extended rearwards to include the two buttresses either side of the rear window, and Pininfarina's clever mechanism allowed the hood to fold away neatly behind the seats.

Despite the absence of a roll-bar, the lack of a roof was compensated for by the strong tubular chassis to which the aluminium body panels were welded, guaranteeing the structural rigidity expected of a car capable of 240 km/h.

A cabriolet version of the Mondial Quattrovalvole was first shown to the press at the Military Academy in Modena in September 1983, at a conference hosted by Enzo Ferrari, the model making its show debut at the Brussels Salon the following January. This model was aimed specifically at the sunny climes of the American west coast, where the early production examples found homes, before European model production commenced in earnest. The manually operated hood of the cabriolet was quite a complex affair, which echoed the profile of the coupé when erected, complete with buttresses to the rear. An aesthetic triumph, but care had to be taken to fold it correctly, or damage could occur.

As with the Mondial Quattrovalvole, the Mondial Cabriolet had the same wedge body shape with the radiator grille beneath the front bumper. Apart from the folding canvas roof, the overall shape was identical to the sister model, including the black plastic wrap around bumpers front and rear, together with the large trapezoidal air intake grilles for the engine bay on the body sides behind the doors, and paired circular rear light assemblies, with Mondial Cabriolet badging to the tail panel. It featured the same extended centre console with the ventilation controls incorporated into it, and the radio forward of the gear change as the coupé. Similarly the door panels and steering wheel were identical to the coupé version. The rear seats of the cabriolet were closer together than on the coupe, to allow for stowage of the hood assembly, and the headrests were omitted. The hood was provided with a matching canvas cover when in the lowered position, with a leather cover available as an option.

The main European market Mondial Cabriolet models had a tubular chassis with factory type reference F 108 BS 100, which featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

The four valves per cylinder V8 engine of the Mondial Cabriolet was the same design as that used in the Mondial Quattrovalvole model, fitted with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli MED 803A Digiplex electronic ignition to produce a claimed 235bhp for main European market versions, and 230bhp for US market versions. It was of a 90 degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, having a total capacity of 2926cc, with a bore and stroke of 81mm x 71mm, bearing factory type reference F 105 AS 000 for European market cars. The engine was transversely mounted in unit with the all synchromesh five speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's wet sump. The model featured independent suspension via wishbones, coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers all round, with front and rear anti roll bars.

As with the concurrent 2 seater models both right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specification models. Mondial Cabriolet models were produced prior to the chassis number 75000, from which point both odd and even numbers were used for chassis numbers, thus all cars in this series carry odd number only chassis numbers. They were produced between 1983 and 1985, during which time 629 examples were produced, in the chassis number range 47247 to 59163.



3.2 Mondial (1985-1989) 987 produced

The new 3.2 version of the Mondial offered a more powerful and flexible V8 that significantly improved the car's performance. New, more efficient and elegant light clusters, a more ergonomic interior and better fit and finish completed the profile of this 2+2. It was comfortable and spacious, and offered excellent visibility for a car in its category. And, when necessary, the 3.2 could turn in the kind of dynamic performance expected of a thoroughbred Ferrari.


The Mondial 3.2 model succeeded the Mondial Quattrovalvole, and was available in both coupe and cabriolet form, being announced concurrently with the 328 series of 2 seat models at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon. The 3.2 in the model title referred purely to the cubic capacity of the engine in litres. This model saw the first change in the body styling, with revised front and rear ends incorporating smooth body colour bumper assemblies, and a radiator grille with front light and radiator grille assemblies that mirrored those of the 328 cousin. These revisions had the effect of producing a more instantly recognisable homogeneous range of eight cylinder models in the Ferrari catalogue. The body shape remained otherwise unaltered from its predecessor, although once again the interior detailing was revamped, the most noticeable being angled top corners to the instrument nacelle. A leather dashboard and/or headlining was available as an option. The five spoke road wheel pattern changed from a flat spoke design to a convex spoke layout to accommodate negative offset suspension geometry for the optional ABS braking system, which would eventually become standard equipment. This resulted in an increase of 25mm and 50mm respectively, in the front and rear track.

The main European market Mondial 3.2 coupé models had a tubular chassis with factory type reference F 108 CL 100, which featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

The V8 engine of the Mondial 3.2 was basically the same design as that used in the Mondial Quattrovalvole model, but fitted with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli MED 806A Microplex electronic ignition to produce a claimed 270bhp at 7000rpm for main European market models, and 260bhp for US market models. It was of a 90 degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, having a total capacity of 3185cc, with a bore and stroke of 83mm x 73mm, bearing factory type reference F 105 C 000 for European market cars. The engine was transversely mounted in unit with the all synchromesh five speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's wet sump.

As with the concurrent 2 seater models right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specification models. From chassis number 75000, odd and even numbers were used for the road production cars, and Mondial 3.2 model production spanned this figure thus they have odd numbers up to this figure, and odd and even above it. The model was produced in a total of 987 units from 1985 to 1989, in the chassis number range 58277 to 79671.



3.2 Mondial Cabriolet (1985-1989) 810 produced

In 1985 the Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet was equipped with the new 3.2-litre engine. This increase in power made it an even more exclusive car than before: no rival four-seater cabriolet of similar engine size could offer comparable performance. As with the 328 GTB and GTS, Pininfarina improved the styling and aerodynamics of this car, redesigning several bodywork details.


The Mondial 3.2 model succeeded the Mondial Quattrovalvole, and was available in both coupé and cabriolet form, being announced concurrently with the 328 series of 2 seat models at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon. The 3.2 in the model title referred purely to the cubic capacity of the engine in litres. This model saw the first change in the body styling, with revised front and rear ends incorporating smooth body colour bumper assemblies, and a radiator grille with front light and radiator grille assemblies that mirrored those of the 328 cousin.

The body shape remained otherwise unaltered from its predecessor, although once again the interior detailing was revamped, the most noticeable being angled top corners to the instrument nacelle. A leather dashboard was available as an option. The hood on the cabriolet continued with the same design theme of its predecessor, echoing the shape of the coupé's buttresses at the rear. Tail badging on both the coupé and cabriolet models was simply Mondial 3.2. The five spoke road wheel pattern changed from a flat spoke design to a convex spoke layout to accommodate negative offset suspension geometry for the optional ABS braking system, which would eventually become standard equipment. This resulted in an increase of 25mm and 50mm respectively, in the front and rear track.

The main European market Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet models had a tubular chassis with factory type reference F 108 CS 100, which featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

The V8 engine of the Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet was basically the same design as that used in the coupé version, fitted with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli MED 806A Microplex electronic ignition to produce a claimed 270bhp at 7000rpm for main European market models, and 260bhp for US market models. It was of a 90 degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, having a total capacity of 3185cc, with a bore and stroke of 83mm x 73mm, bearing factory type reference F 105 CS 000 for European market cars. The engine was transversely mounted in unit with the all synchromesh five speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's wet sump.

As with the concurrent coupé model right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specifications. From chassis number 75000, odd and even numbers were used for the road production cars, and Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet production spanned this figure thus they have odd numbers up to this figure, and odd and even above it. The model was produced in a total of 810 units from 1985 to 1989, in the chassis number range 59393 to 78895.



Mondial T (1989-1993) 858 produced

The Mondial T represented a further step forward in the evolution of this most singular Ferrari: a truly high-performance car with a mid-mounted engine and room for four. The letter 'T' was inspired by the F1 312 T single-seater, which had just won the Formula 1 World Championship

 and also used the longitudinal engine/transverse gearbox layout. This new configuration allowed the whole drive-train of the Mondial T to be lowered by 13 cm, with significant benefits in terms of road-holding and handling.

The final development of the Mondial series was the Mondial t model, which was announced in 1989, and was the most radical overhaul of the model during its production run. The engine capacity increased to 3.4 litres and it became longitudinally mounted, instead of transversely on the previous models. It was coupled to a transverse gearbox, hence the letter "t" in the model designation, and had an ABS braking system as standard equipment, whilst the front and rear tracks increased by 2mm and 50mm respectively. At the front, the paired retractable headlight units of the previous models were replaced by neater retractable rectangular homofocal units. The large trapezoidal rear wing air intakes disappeared, being replaced by smaller neat rectangular louvres on the rear wings, which were of a more bulbous profile, providing a more muscular stance to the car. As on the Mondial 3.2, the tail badge did not differentiate between the coupé or the cabriolet, simply stating Mondial t. As with the previous model changes, the interior was once again modified, this time comprehensively, including a revised instrument nacelle, centre console, upholstery pattern and the facility for the rear seat backrests to fold flat to create a luggage platform. A leather dashboard and headlining was available as an option.

The main European market Mondial t coupé models had a tubular chassis with a factory type reference F 108 AL/D. As with the earlier models in the series it featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

The longitudinally mid mounted V8 engine of 3405cc capacity, was mated to a transverse five speed all synchromesh gearbox. The enlarged engine was provided with dry sump lubrication, and had factory type reference number F 119 DL and later F 119 G. It was initially fitted with a Bosch M2.5 and then later an M2.7 Motronic combined injection/ignition system, to produce a claimed power output of 300bhp at 7200rpm for the first main European market series, and 295bhp for the later series with the M2.7 Motronic ignition unit and catalytic convertors in the exhaust system. As with other models in the Mondial series, the Mondial t was provided with independent suspension via wishbones, coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers all round, with front and rear anti roll bars. In addition it was fitted with power steering plus electronically controlled shock absorbers, that gave either hard, medium or soft settings, from a driver actuated switch. Towards the end of the production run a Valeo electronically actuated clutch became available as an option, which gave the facility of normal manual gear changes without using a clutch pedal.

As with the concurrent 2 seat models right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specification models. From chassis number 75000, both odd and even numbers were used for the road production cars, thus, as all Mondial t coupés were produced post this number they have both odd and even chassis numbers. The model was produced between 1989 and 1993, with a total of 858 examples made in the chassis number range 79596 to 97698.



Mondial T Cabriolet (1989-1993) 1017 produced

The new drive-train layout with longitudinal engine and transverse gearbox, first used on the 348 TB and TS, was also fitted into the Cabriolet version of the Mondial. This new solution increased the space available in the cabin in all versions, and the cabin was also completely redesigned to improve ergonomics and comfort.


The Pininfarina styling was slightly revised, making it even more elegant, and bifocal headlights were fitted to substantially increase beam intensity.

The Mondial t cabriolet was announced concurrently with coupé version in 1989, and similarly was the most radical overhaul of the model during its production run. The engine capacity increased to 3.4 litres and it became longitudinally mounted, instead of transversely on the previous models.

As with the previous model changes the interior was once again modified, this time comprehensively, including a revised instrument nacelle, centre console, upholstery pattern and the facility for the rear seat backrests to fold flat to create a luggage platform. A leather finished dashboard was available as an option, as was a leather soft top cover.

The main European market Mondial t cabriolet models had a tubular chassis with a factory type reference F 108 AL/DN. As with the coupé it featured a bolted rear sub-frame section, so that the complete engine, transmission and rear suspension assembly could be removed as a single unit, for ease of maintenance.

The longitudinally mid mounted V8 engine of 3405cc capacity, with a bore and stroke of 85mm x 75mm, was mated to a transverse five speed all synchromesh gearbox.
