About this car
The 1989 Ferrari Mondial T Coupe presents a distinctive evolution of the Mondial lineup, finished in the striking factory hue of Rosso Corsa over a natural/tan interior. This mid-engine grand tourer combines Pininfarina styling with a longitudinally mounted 3.4-liter V8 paired to a transversely mounted five-speed manual transmission, a configuration that earned the model its “T” designation and improved weight distribution. With 31,426 miles showing on the odometer, the car retains its original character while offering the practical 2+2 seating arrangement that sets the Mondial apart from more focused Ferrari sports cars.
Quad exhaust outlets, retractable headlights, Carello fog lights, side air intakes, and Pininfarina badges define the exterior, while 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with Ferrari center caps wear Bridgestone Potenza tires. Inside, the cabin features front sport bucket seats in the 2+2 layout, a three-spoke steering wheel, center console, gated shifter, Veglia Borletti instrumentation, air conditioning, power windows, and power mirrors. A Lanzar touchscreen radio provides modern convenience without detracting from the classic ambience.
Four-wheel disc brakes, a sunroof, and the iconic Ferrari leather tool briefcase complete the specification, along with a tire repair and inflator canister plus manufacturer’s literature. The Mondial T Coupe remains a mechanically sound example of the final evolution of the series, blending everyday usability with the naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack and precise manual shift that define a classic Ferrari.

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.
