Forgotten by many, ignored by others, the Ferrari Mondial is today the most accessible model of the Italian brand, although not for all budgets. It doesn't matter if you are a car fanatic or just don't care about them, you have heard of Ferrari and surely in your mind you have a sports car of unparalleled beauty that whether you like it or not, you would like to drive sometime in your life.
About the Ferrari Mondial
There are things that we cannot leave aside, and that is that there are models that are really loved by the public and others that simply were not well received and even went unnoticed. That is what happens with the Ferrari Mondial, a car that always polarized the fans of the brand and that was less liked than it was thought.
The Ferrari Mondial was never one of the fastest, never came close to being one of the most powerful and was never pretty. The Ferrari Mondial was produced between 1980 and 1993 and the design work was carried out by Pininfarina on a body created by Carrozzeria Scaglietti.

Engine
The engine of the Ferrari Mondial is a V8 that although it is not a bad engine for the rest of the brands, for a Ferrari it is something like a "half engine". It has just 214 horsepower, and is somewhat heavy with more than a ton and a half, so the power is much lower, it takes 9.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km / h and a lot of effort to accelerate to 238 kilometers per hour, its top speed.

When we say that it is a cheap Ferrari, perhaps for the majority of the population is an erroneous statement, because despite its cost, it is not exactly within everyone's reach, but the perception changes if we compare it with some historical models, such as the Ferrari F40 with which it almost shared times and that today is priced at no less than 1.5 million dollars.
This Ferrari Mondial can be obtained in a much more affordable range, because depending on the year and model can be obtained from 25 thousand dollars with an average of 30 thousand for the Mondial T and between 35 and 40 thousand for the cabriolet version.
