The Ferrari Mondial 8 QV, a true icon of the 1980s, is a mid-engine sports car that represents a unique chapter in Ferrari's history. Produced from 1980 to 1982, the Mondial 8 QV marked a departure from the traditional front-engine layout for the Italian marque. It was a sleek and stylish coupe with a distinctive wedge-shaped design, featuring a low roofline, sloping hood, and a prominent rear spoiler. The car was meticulously crafted, with a lightweight aluminum body and chassis, ensuring agile handling and responsive performance. Power came from a 2.9-liter, 8-cylinder engine, the "QV" denoting its quattrovalvole (four-valve) configuration. This engine, coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox, delivered a spirited 240 horsepower, propelling the Mondial 8 QV to a top speed of around 145 mph.

The Mondial 8 QV, a testament to Ferrari's engineering prowess, was designed to be a comfortable and refined sports car, capable of both exhilarating performance and everyday usability. It offered a well-appointed interior with leather upholstery, a comprehensive instrument cluster, and a spacious cabin. The car's suspension was meticulously engineered, offering a balance between sporty handling and ride comfort. Despite its sporty nature, the Mondial 8 QV was also known for its practicality, featuring a relatively spacious rear cargo area for carrying luggage or sporting equipment. However, the Mondial 8 QV faced some criticism for its somewhat compromised handling compared to its more renowned Ferrari brethren, a factor attributed to its unusual mid-engine layout. Nevertheless, the Mondial 8 QV remains a captivating piece of automotive history, a unique and stylish Ferrari that embodies the spirit of the 1980s.
