Complete 30k Timing Belt Service just completed in June 2019! Introduced in 1980, the now Pininfarina-designed Mondial was offered as a practical 4-seater replacement to the Bertone-designed 308 GT4 model. Ferrari performance was still at utmost importance... while trying to offer more interior space with reasonable legroom for all occupants. Uniquely successful for Ferrari, the Mondial was manufactured for 13 years with some 6,884 total units produced, both coupe and cabriolet. Built upon a steel box-section space frame with a steel body manufactured by Scaglietti using light alloy engine & luggage deck lids to save additional weight. The engine/gearbox/rear suspension was designed as one assembly on a detachable steel subframe making it easier to remove for major servicing. By 1989, the Mondial "T" was engineered to vastly improve both performance, as well as handling, of the already commercially successful model. These Formula One inspired improvements included longitudinally mounting the engine to allow it to be centered lower in the car's chassis, while leaving the gearbox transversely mounted, hence the "T" format. The lower mounted drivetrain enhanced the handling of the car dramatically, while the additional space allowed for a larger 3.4L displacement V8 engine to be introduced which offered 300 horsepower! This drivetrain format would become the standard for the Ferrari marque for many years to come. Other standard improvements to the Mondial T include Bosch Motronic electronic engine management, standard ABS braking, power-assisted steering, and 3-position electronically controlled suspension system! The Mondial T would only be produced from 1989-1993, making them the finest of the model series to own and enjoy today!
