Mondial T [pics]

[dbizzle]

It gets a fair amount of criticism, but I think the Mondial's ace. Relatively practical too, ish. Clicky.

[GT4ME]

Always loved these, they look fab in silver!

[andyborris]

Funny how that "cab forward" look never really caught on, the Ford Probe was another example, I like both.

But then, I'm odd!

Some a bit more modified (if the piccies work) :

One of the few Ferraris I would let myself be seen in (oh my, is that a proper sentence!? )

[niwid]

That's a pretty thing, far better looking than a lot of more modern Fezzas (360! Bleurgh!)

[dave80]

love these!

[mikeymk]

I'm not a Ferrari fan, but I've always loved these. 2+2 seating, tidy styling, cab-forward design makes aerodynamic sense, fairly small and revvy V8, interior looks even better than the outside - what's not to like!?

If the problem is some 'poor man's Ferrari' mentality then I could live with that!
Bet it wouldn't have an image issue if it had been Lancia badged..

I'll have a late model in black, the leather re-trimmed in a dark brown, ta.

Needs lowered.

The red one looks great and i'd happily get one if i had a spare 12k...in fact much rather get a mondial instead of a cheap 911/boxster

[grifterkid]

I have always liked these... I have to admit I do tend to like the less popular ones but I think that is no bad thing! I'd quite happily cruise around in one of these...

I've owned a blue Mondial QV for several years.

I bought it because I needed an unusual, low cost (compared with ''new'' executive wibblepoo) 4 seater -for business, that my clients would remember. It certainly did that!

Its pretty average, frankly. Build quality is shoddy, dealer parts pricing horrific, accessibility not great. Driving is difficult, the box obstructive till warm, the engine a prima donna, and brakes poor for their size.

I ran it alongside a 911 SC (for a few years) & the 911 won nearly every time. Probably explains why there are so many low mileage Mondials around?

Nice(ish) to look at -not great to run. Possibly cheap enough now to warrant 'updating'.

Thats the problem with the Mondial, cheap to buy, but when something goes wrong, prepare to have your pants pulled down. pretty much the same as a Mssa Bi Turbo. I would have sleepless nights thinking about the cost if anything broke!

[Mystery Machine]

I like Mondials and for me they will always be synonymous with Weird Science which can only be a good thing, right? I've always preferred Gary's Mondial over Wyatt's 928.








However, if I were to choose my fave Ferrari this side of an F40 it would almost certainly have to be a 308 GT4. The predecessor to the Mondial, I think it's a far nicer shape than its replacement and personally reckon it's a lot sharper and more attractive piece of design than the much more popular 308.

Even with a big dent in the rear quarter!

Agree with this, had a GT4 and a 328GTS and they were both fab but it takes the edge off the fun a bit when you think you hear a funny noise and realise that worse case scenario it's £12k for an engine.

My one

The Cabriolet has the distinction of being the only four-seat, mid-rear engine, convertible ever manufactured in regular production.
The Mondial replaced the 308 GT4 as Ferrari’s mid-engined V8 2+2, and it would be the last car Ferrari ever made in such a configuration.
