The Mondial revived a name from Ferrari's past and was a mid-engined 2+2 seater manufactured from 1980 to 1993. A successor to the Bertone penned 308 GT4, it was designed by Pininfarina. The construction was unconventional, with the steel outer body outsourced to Carrozzeria Scaglietti mated to a lightweight steel box-section chassis - the bonnet and boot lids were formed in aluminium. Another unusual feature of the car was that the engine, five-speed manual gearbox and rear suspension were all mounted on a detachable steel subframe for ease of servicing and repair. Suspension was independent all round by wishbones and coil springs, the braking by discs and the steering by rack and pinion.
