By a bit of canny engineering, Pininfarina managed to give the canvas top the same line as the coupé. Nine years after its last open-top car (the 365 GTS4) had gone out of production, Ferrari came back with a 2+2 spider. Ferrari 308 GTB Quattrovalvole (1982)įerrari Mondial Cabriolet © Ferrari S.p.A. It was the first Ferrari production road car to be fitted with fuel injection as standard equipment from new. The “Mondial” part of the model title was a reference to Ferrari’s history, referring to the mid fifties sports racing model of that name, whilst the figure “8″ was for the number of cylinders in the engine.
The Mondial 8 was announced at the 1980 Geneva Salon, as the replacement for the Dino 308 GT4 model.

Good anti-corrosion treatment, lots of attention to detail and a more ergonomic interior, plus a class-leading high-performance engine, complete the profile of what truly can be defined as Ferrari’s first car with all-round appeal. The Mondial 8 featured a wheel base 10 cm longer than the old model, thereby affording more space to the back seats.
Unveiled to the waiting world at the 1980 Geneva Salon, the new Mondial 8 was very much the successor to the 308 GT4, and the styling marked the return of this high-performance, mid-engined, V8-powered 2+2 coupé to the Pininfarina fold.
