Introduced in 1980, the Mondial was the successor of the 308 GT4. It was a compact Grand Turismo sports car with a 2+2 seating configuration and a mid-engine layout. That meant it offered more space than the 308 and 328 GTB models, which were two-seaters only (via Ferrari).

Despite the fact that the Mondial was more practical and somewhat cheaper, it wasn’t particularly popular So today it is one of the rare poorly regarded models in the Ferrari community. The design wasn’t very dynamic and its performance figures were much slower than the rest of the Ferrari lineup.
