The Ferrari Mondial (Type F108) is a mid-engined, V8 grand tourer produced by Ferrari from 1980 to 1993. Designed by Pininfarina with bodywork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, it was available as a 2+2 coupé or cabriolet variant. The Mondial's design included a slightly higher roofline, larger dimensions, and increased weight to accommodate limited rear seating suitable for children or small adults.
Replacing the Ferrari 308/208 GT4 coupé, the Mondial holds the distinction of being Ferrari's last V8, rear mid-engined, 2+2 model. The name "Mondial," meaning global in French, was chosen to signify the car's adherence to 1980 safety and emission regulations on a global scale, as well as recognizing Ferrari's noteworthy achievements in motor racing. The name had historical significance as it was previously used by Ferrari to commemorate their Formula 1 championships in the 1950s and 1970s.
