THE MODEL
The 1989 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet represents a pivotal evolution in the Mondial lineage, marking the transition to a transverse-mounted gearbox paired with a longitudinally-mounted engine—hence the “T” in its designation. This architectural refinement brought the Mondial closer in layout and handling characteristics to the contemporaneous 348, with which it shares its 3.4L Tipo F119 V8 engine producing 300 hp at 7,200 rpm.
The Mondial T also introduced power-assisted steering, a revised suspension with electronically adjustable dampers, and an improved cabin with higher-grade materials—making it the most refined and dynamically capable Mondial to date. The cabriolet variant is particularly desirable, being one of the very few four-seat, mid-engined convertibles ever produced by Ferrari.
With only 379 Mondial T Cabriolets built for the U.S. market in 1989, its relative rarity, combined with the last-of-line enhancements, makes it a compelling proposition for collectors seeking a bridge between classic analog Ferrari charm and more modern usability. Key enthusiast talking points include the gated 5-speed gearbox, Bosch Motronic engine management, and the car’s unique place as both a practical and purist-oriented Ferrari.
