More about the Mondial T:
(from topspeed.com - topspeed.com 1989 - 1993 Mondial T ) The last of the Mondial series was revealed in 1989. Called Mondial T it was the most heavily revised Mondial, ith letter "T" inspired by the F1 312 T single-seater, hich had just won the Formula 1 World Championship and also used the longitudinal engine/transverse gearbox layout: the previously-transverse engine was now mounted longitudinally whilst the gearbox remained transverse, hus forming a ’t’.
Production last between 1983 to 1993, ith 858 units produced in both right and left hand drive configurations, ogether with various world market specification models.
The new Mondial T was finally worthing the "Ferrari" name and was able to compete with supercars such as the BMW 850i, hevrolet Corvette, onda NSX, otus Esprit and Porsche 911 Carrera.
Besides using a longitudinal engine/transverse gearbox layout, ondial T was also offering for the first time: power assisted steering, nd had a 2-position electronically controlled suspension for a variable trade off between ride quality and road holding.
Visually, he Mondial T had cleaner air intakes, lightly different rear wings, nd rectangular instead of round headlights. The large trapezoidal rear wing air intakes disappeared, eing replaced by smaller neat rectangular louvres on the rear wings, hich were of a more bulbous profile, roviding a more muscular stance to the car. The interior was more luxurious and got a new dash, eats, nd door panels. A leather dashboard and headlining was available as an option.
The longitudinally mid mounted V8 engine of 3405cc capacity, as mated to a transverse five speed all synchromesh gearbox. The enlarged engine was provided with dry sump lubrication and was initially fitted with a Bosch M2.5 and then later an M2.7 Motronic combined injection/ignition system, o produce a claimed power output of 300bhp at 7200rpm for the first main European market series, nd 295bhp for the later series with the M2.7 Motronic ignition unit and catalytic convertors in the exhaust system.
