About this car
This 1986 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet delivers open-top Italian motoring with genuine 2+2 practicality. Finished in Rosso Corsa with a black convertible top, the Pininfarina-designed body features a slightly taller roofline and single long doors per side that enhance entry, rear legroom, and visibility.
Power comes from the 3.2L Quattrovalvole V8, with four valves per cylinder, paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox for an authentic driver-focused experience. The Saddle leather interior complements the classic red exterior on this example showing 48,315 miles.

The Ferrari Mondial, produced between 1980 and 1993, is a mid-engine grand tourer that marked Ferrari's return to a 2+2 seating configuration. Approximately 6,800 units were built across its variants, including the Mondial 8, QV, 3.2, and t models, making it one of Ferrari's more accessible exotic cars from that era. It featured a range of V8 engines, starting with a 3.0-liter in the Mondial 8 (214 hp) and evolving to a 3.4-liter in the Mondial t (300 hp), paired with manual or automatic transmissions. Performance improved over time, with the Mondial t achieving 0-60 mph in about 6.3 seconds and a top speed near 158 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the Mondial is notable for its relative rarity compared to modern Ferraris and its historical significance as Ferrari's last 2+2 mid-engine model until later designs. While once undervalued, prices have risen in recent years, with well-maintained examples, especially the later Mondial t convertibles, fetching between $50,000 and $80,000. Its unique steel and aluminum body by Pininfarina and practical seating add appeal for enthusiasts seeking a usable classic Ferrari with potential for value appreciation.
