	The '''[[Ferrari]] Mondial''' is a 2+2 [[coupe]] [[automobile]] produced from [[1980]] through [[1993]]. It replaced the angular [[Ferrari GT4\|208/308 GT4]] "Dino". The "Mondial" name came from Ferrari's history — the famed [[Ferrari 500 Mondial\|500 Mondial]] race car of the early 1950s. Although the Mondial was styled by [[Pininfarina]] rather than [[Bertone]], it shared much of its predecessor's boxiness and is often criticized as a lesser model for the [[marque]]. It was sold as a large coupe and, eventually, [[cabriolet]]. The Mondial was produced in fairly high numbers for Ferrari, with more than 6,800 produced in its 12-year run, and is today one of the most affordable Ferrari models.

	~~==Mondial 8==~~

	The Mondial was introduced as the '''Mondial 8''' in [[1980]]. It was the first Ferrari to depart from the company's familiar 3-digit naming scheme, and was fairly mild-performing (for a Ferrari). It used a [[MR layout\|mid/rear-mounted]] [[V8]], shared with the [[Ferrari 308\|308]], mounted [[transverse engine\|transverse]]ly. The engine was originally used in the [[1974]] [[Ferrari GT4\|''Dino'' 308 GT4]]. The chassis was also based on the 308 GT4, but with a 100 mm longer wheelbase at 2650 mm. The suspension was [[double wishbone]]s all around.

	~~The Mondial 8 is considered one of the marque's most reliable, inexpensive to maintain, and even practical cars due to its 214 hp (160 kW), proven drivetrain, and four seats.~~

	~~==Mondial Quattrovalvole==~~

	The first Mondial engine, although a [[DOHC]] design, used just two valves per cylinder. The [[1982]] '''Quattrovalvole''' introduced a new [[multivalve\|4-valve]] head. Again, the engine was shared with the contemporary [[Ferrari 308\|308 GTB]], and produced a more respectable 240 hp (179 kW).

	~~==Mondial Cabriolet==~~

	A new '''[[Cabriolet]]''' bodystyle was added for [[1983]] . Although the styling was very similar to the coupe version, the Cabriolet's top gave the car a lower look similar to the contemporary [[Ferrari Testarossa\|Testarossa]].

	~~==3.2 Mondial==~~

	Like the new [[Ferrari 308#328 GTB\|328 GTB]], the Mondial's engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2 L (3185 cc) for [[1985]]. Output was now 270 hp (201 kW), and the car's weight distribution was changed enough for the car to classify as a true mid-engine design. Styling was refreshed with painted bumpers and new wheels.

	~~==Mondial t==~~

	The final Mondial evolution was [[1989]]'s '''Mondial t'''. It was a substantially changed model, "spearhead of a new generation of V8 Ferraris", according to ''[[Road & Track]]'' magazine. The "t" called attention to the car's new engine/transmission layout: though the previously-transverse engine was now mounted [[longitudinal engine\|longitudinal]]ly, the gearbox remained transverse, forming a "t". This configuration was used by Ferrari's [[Formula 1]] cars of the [[1980s]], and would be the standard for the marque's future mid-engined V8 cars, beginning with the [[Ferrari 348\|348]], introduced later in the year.

	That transverse gearbox was a dual-clutch design with beveled gears driving the axles on the earlier models, a single clutch and auto-manual gearbox (termed Valeo - the clutch was actuated automatically without a clutch pedal) were added later. The engine was up to 3.4 L (3405 cc) and 300 hp (224 kW).

	The Mondial's chassis would underpin a new generation of 2-seat Ferraris, right up to the [[Ferrari 360\|360]], but the 2+2 Mondial would end production just four years later in [[1993]]. The company has not produced a mid-engined 2+2 car since, in fact front-engined V12 [[Ferrari 456\|456]] and the current [[Ferrari 612 Scaglietti\|612 Scaglietti]], are the company's only 4-seat vehicle offerings.

	The Mondial was home to other Ferrari firsts: It used power brakes for the first time, and had a 3-position electronically controlled [[suspension (vehicle)\|suspension]]. It also had standard [[antilock brakes]], though other Ferraris had this feature as well.
