The Ferrari Mondial (Type F108) is a mid-engined, V8, grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Ferrari between 1980 and 1993 – with styling by Pininfarina and bodywork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. Offered as either a 2+2 coupé or cabriolet, the Mondial has the slightly higher roofline, greater dimensions and increased weight to accommodate occasional rear seating for children or small adults.[2] The Mondial replaced the Ferrari 308/208 GT4 coupé and remains the last V8, rear mid-engined, 2+2 Ferrari. The name Mondial, French for global, reflected its worldwide conformance with 1980 safety and emission standards — as well as the company's prominent motor racing victories. Ferrari had used the nameplate in the 1950s to celebrate Formula 1 World Championships and again in the 1970s to mark its Formula 1 World Constructors Championships. Announced in October 1982 at the Paris Salon, the new QV or 'quattrovalvole' model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing 237bhp at 7,000rpm and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in seconds and on to a top speed of 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. The Targa-topped GTS variant of the 308 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1977. Unlike 808 of the 2,897 GTBs that featured vetroresina (fibreglass) bodies, all GTSs were clothed in steel and were equipped with wet rather than dry sump versions of the engine.
