Ferrari decided to keep the Mondial on the market for a few more years before retiring it, and for that, the Italian automaker decided to improve the model for the fourth and final time.

When Pininfarina designed the Mondial, it did a great job, and the public appreciated the car from Detroit to Tokyo. In Europe, it was already an undisputed king of the fast four-seater.

While it wasn't the most successful model in Ferrari's lineup, the Mondial managed to stay on the assembly lines for more than a decade, from 1980 until 1993, in various versions.

Ferrari introduced the Mondial in 1980 as a grand tourer, with room for four and with the engine mounted transversely in the back, in a rear-mid position.
