The Ferrari Mondial 8 QV, produced between 1980 and 1982, marked a significant shift in the Italian marque's lineup. It was the first mid-engined Ferrari to be offered with a V8 engine since the iconic Dino 246 GT. The Mondial 8 QV, short for "Quattrovalvole" (four valves), was a revolution for Ferrari, offering a more accessible and practical alternative to the imposing and expensive 308 GTB. The Mondial 8 QV utilized a 2.9-liter V8 engine that produced 214 horsepower, channeling it through a five-speed manual transmission. This engine, derived from the 308 GTB's powerplant, provided a satisfyingly smooth and responsive drive, though it may not have been as exhilarating as its predecessor. The Mondial 8 QV was a comfortable and refined grand tourer, offering a spacious and well-appointed interior that could accommodate four passengers. The car's design, penned by Pininfarina, was a departure from the classic Ferrari form, featuring a more angular and modern aesthetic, with a distinctive "wedge" shape.

The Mondial 8 QV, while not as renowned for its performance as other Ferrari models of the era, was praised for its versatility and practicality. It offered a comfortable and elegant driving experience, capable of tackling long journeys with ease. Despite sharing its engine with the 308 GTB, the Mondial 8 QV was not intended to be a pure sports car. Instead, it was marketed as a more refined and versatile option, catering to drivers who desired a blend of performance and practicality. The Mondial 8 QV's appeal lay in its combination of classic Ferrari styling, comfortable interior, and a refined and responsive driving experience. This model marked a significant step for Ferrari, demonstrating the brand's commitment to offering a more accessible and practical alternative to its high-performance sports cars. This accessibility, however, came with a price, as the Mondial 8 QV was criticized by some for being less exciting than the 308 GTB. However, today, it is appreciated for its unique position in Ferrari's history, representing a transitional phase for the brand.
