The Original: The Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe
The Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe is a remarkable example of the innovation prowess of the legendary Italian manufacturer. The model was first produced from 1985 to 1988 and represented the third generation of the Mondial series. The design was by Leonardo Fioravanti (Pininfarina), known for his elegant and aerodynamic lines. The car is powered by a 3.2-liter V8 engine with 32 valves, delivering around 270 horsepower. Technical specifications include a mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive, resulting in optimal weight distribution and excellent driving dynamics. The Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe was one of the few true 2+2 sports cars, combining sporty performance with everyday practicality. An interesting fact is that the Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe was developed as the successor to the Ferrari 308 GT4, known at the time for its distinctive wedge design and sporty performance. It is noteworthy that in 1985, the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 took place and the album "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits was released, placing it in the historical context.
