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 &mdash; 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==
==Criticisms==
Please make sure to '''''keep critiques in a third-person point of view'''''. If using criticisms from a reputable automotive source, then '''''please make sure to cite the quote'''''.
 
==Generations==
Fill in as many as appropriate. Add more if necessary and pictures wherever applicable.


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&nbsp;mm longer wheelbase at 2650&nbsp;mm.  The suspension was [[double wishbone]]s all around.
'''''Please make sure NOT to use copyrighted pictures'''''.


The Mondial 8 is considered one of the marque's most reliable, inexpensive to maintain, and even practical cars due to its 214&nbsp;hp (160&nbsp;kW), proven drivetrain, and four seats.
==Current Generation: (YYYY–present)==


==Mondial Quattrovalvole==
===Fifth generation (YYYY–YYYY)===


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&nbsp;hp (179&nbsp;kW).


==Mondial Cabriolet==
===Fourth generation (YYYY–YYYY)===


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==
===Third generation (YYYY–YYYY)===


Like the new [[Ferrari 308#328 GTB|328 GTB]], the Mondial's engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2&nbsp;L (3185&nbsp;cc) for [[1985]].  Output was now 270&nbsp;hp (201&nbsp;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==
===Second generation (YYYY–YYYY)===


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&nbsp;L (3405&nbsp;cc) and 300&nbsp;hp (224&nbsp;kW).
===First Generation/Origins (YYYY–YYYY)===


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.
