I regret that I have to sell my beautiful Italian redhead, but unfortunately with a growing family I can no long afford to keep her so now I offer it up for sale to someone who will give her a good home. I am selling a1983 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole. This is an original European Model so no catalytic converters, it only presently has 28,000 miles the odometer cluster reads in kilometers and shows 45,063 kilometers, this number will change as I am presently still driving the car on weekends, however I don't foresee it going up by much . This car has gone through customs and is sold with a clean and clear Indiana title. This car also has an up graded exhaust with custom headers and tips which make is sound like a true F1 car going down the street. With the purchase I will include the original exhaust incase you want to convert it back to stock.  I also did up grade it t oa c/d player with auxiliary cable but I will also include the original radio. I recently (5k miles ago) had an engine off service at the tune of $6000 + done to the car. This service included, new clutch,  new timing kit, new seals, new head gaskets, new valve cover gaskets. I also installed a bran new set of tires on it this August, New brakes where done in June of this year as well.  The exterior of this car is in awesome condition all around,  probably a 9 out of 10, The Rosso Corsa color is bright red and has a deep shine to it, with next to no blemishes on the paint! it does have one minor door ding on the driver door and one minor ding on the driver headlight panel. Honesty unless  you know where to look you wont see them ! All the seals and window moldings are in great shape, all the outside plastic  including pumpers are in great shape and still have a rich black color with no fading. The power windows work, however it is a 31 year old Italian car so they do roll up slowly and occasionally on cooler days need an additional nudge to get them going. I did convert the a/c system a couple of years ago and this car blows out ice cold air! This car is definitely an attention getter, lots of rubber necking and thumbs up everywhere I drive it, with the exhaust and the classic 80's look of the car it really does get a lot of attention. The interior is in great shape with no sun fading, the leather is tan and in awesome shape for a 31 year old car, the leather has hardened a bit with the years but still looks awesome, the seats are comfortable and have no support issues, the dash is in great shape with no cracking or fading, The rear seats have never been used and look new! I think this is a pretty thorough description if the car but if you feel that I have left something out feel free and text me or call me directly at 7 two 0- 88 five- 4 one 76  I will leave you with a testimonial from Classic Cars.

 

Ferrari Mondial
Driving Impressions

Engine
  The engine of a 1981 - 1983 Ferrari Mondial 8 is the exact same engine as used in the 308GTBi and 308GTSi.  In fact it received the fuel injected engine before the 308 series did.  Like many companies, the luxury versions of cars, which the Mondial is, receives new technologies and fancier trimmings earlier.  The transmission is also identical but with a slightly higher ratio rear axle ratio to compensate for the Mondial's higher weight.  This increase in ratio lowered maximum top speed at redline somewhat.  However, 135mph with rock solid stability and predictability is still quite nice.
  It is a 3.0 liter V8 with twin overhead cams per bank - 4 in all.  Rubber synchronized timing belts are used for each bank.  The Mondial 8 has 2 valves per cylinder and produces about 215HP and the Quattrovalve has 4 valves per cylinder and produces about 240HP.  The redline is very high for an 8 cylinder at 7,700 RPM.  Its peak torgue is around 6,000 RPM.  Compared to a large displacement low-end torque Corvette, it is very different to drive.  It is best comparable to high reving Alfa Romeros but with more power and smoother delivery.
  Fuel Injection is Bosch K-tronic, same as used in BMW V8.  That means parts availability and reliability.  The change from 4 carburators to fuel injection was not for performance reasons but for stiffer emission standards.  However, it also lowered maintenance costs significantly (balancing 4 dual barrel webber carbs is extremely expensive.  Also, the high reving V8 has dual electronic ignition systmes to deal with the need for producing over 30,000 piston firings/minute.  Every other firing is from a differnt ignition system - basically a staggered firing system.

Exhaust
  European versions do not have catalitic convereters and produce about 10 more HP than American models.  Either version has a beautiful tuned exhaust system and high rise, laminar intake manifold.
  The high revving whine with that many cylinders is a very distinctive sound.  Before I told my friends I bought the Ferrari Mondial, I showed up unexpectedly and my buddy said "I had the windows open and all of a sudden I hear a Ferrari - I run to the window and look, and there you are".  Distinctive sound - you bet ya!

Brakes
  The brakes are absolutely incredible.  They are vacuum boosted with separate balanced front and rear wheel systems.  Since they are designed to safely and predictably slow a 3,500 lb car from 135mph many times over, one can imagine how impressive they are when doing but 75 and stomp on them.  The big wide tires help out much here too!  Later versions of the car had anti lock brakes installed but I have a hard time understanding why with as impressive as these are.  As a comparison to other company's brakes, my other two everyday cars are a Mercedes S class and a Corvette.  I'm used to good brakes.  These are incredible.  As you can guess, it is ventilated disks all around.

Handling
  Driving the Mondial is like driving a go cart.  The steering is super tight.  Any flinch of the wheel and the car will steer that direction.  No question who is in control - you are.  Any mistake made is definitely you, unfortunately.  It is comfortable to drive but you always know that you are in control so it take a little more attention than a super soft riding Lincoln.
  Going across RR tracks at angles sends a fair amount of feedback throught the steering wheel.  For any driving, there is a lot of feedback and sound returned to the driver.  With the "cab forward" style of the Mondial, the front wheel wells are very close to the driver and the change in sound of the tires on the pavement is very apparent and with time, one can hear how much effort the tires are placing and how much grip they have to the road.  A very different experience than a Mercedes where auditory cues are masked.
  The audio feedback of driving from the front tires and the engine behind you is quite axilarating.  There is no question the racing heritage and purpose of this car.  To hear the 7,000+ RPM of 8 cylinders screaming behind you is an experience that just can't be matched.

This $7-million Ferrari LaFerrari is the most expensive modern car ever sold at auction

Mon, Dec 5 2016

The Ferrari LaFerrari is already one of the most extreme, high-performance, road-going cars ever built. And now, it's also the most expensive modern car ever sold at auction. Ferrari, along with RM Sotheby's and the National Italian American Foundation's Earthquake Relief Fund, officially sold the car as part of a charity auction benefiting the reconstruction efforts in central Italy. Total price? A whopping $7 million. Ferrari claims its extra LaFerrari – the company originally built this 500th example for its own collection – is the most expensive car from the 21st century ever sold at auction. As we mentioned in our original story from last week, all proceeds from the LaFerrari auction will benefit earthquake-ravaged central Italy. While the LaFerrari's lucky new owner can rest easy knowing their money went to a seriously good cause, they'll also get to enjoy a unique example of the final production LaFerrari. It's a simple tweak, but its Rosso Corsa paint body gets a white "dream line" on its hood and rear windshield, and the Italian tricolor on the nose. We like it, and we're guessing the citizens of central Italy will appreciate the money this special hypercar made for them. Related Video:

2015 Chinese Grand Prix shines bright sun on the dark days of racing

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Yes, we tuned into the Formula One Grand Prix in Shanghai China to see a race. But we all know we really tuned in to see if Ferrari, or any other team, could make it a competitive race with Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Based on qualifying, things didn't get off the best of starts: Lewis Hamilton made it four-out-of-four at the front, leading all three Free Practice sessions and then taking pole position in his Mercedes. Nico Rosberg is making the most of his time in the simulator, getting closer to Hamilton as the months go by. This time he lined up in second, just 0.042 in arrears. Ferrari did its best to temper expectations after Malaysia. Even though Sebastian Vettel qualified in third, almost a second behind Hamilton, the Scuderia's race pace is still considered a danger. Kimi Raikkonen's final hot lap went sour in Turn 3 and dropped the Finn to sixth place on the grid. In between the Ferraris, Williams is another team desperately working to maintain its advantage, and both of its drivers capitalized on Raikkonen's misfortune. Felipe Massa took fourth, Valtteri Bottas was in fifth. Daniel Ricciardo led the Infiniti Red Bull Racing charge in seventh, ahead of Romain Grosjean in the Lotus earning a spirits-lifting eighth. The two Saubers continue to show how good the Ferrari engine is, with Felipe Nasr taking ninth position and teammate Marcus Ericsson in tenth. Yet when the lights went out, so did the racing, for the most part. At the end of the first lap, because of some excellent moves by Raikkonen on both Williams' and a terrible start by Ricciardo that dropped him to seventeenth, the order was Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Raikkonen, Massa, Bottas, Grosjean, Nasr, Ericsson, and Pastor Maldonado in the Lotus rounding out the top ten. At the end of the race, the only positions that had changed were the final two: Ricciardo had a laps-long battle with Ericsson, passing, getting repassed, then passing again to take ninth for good, with Ericsson finishing tenth. Maldonado suffered the worst in a battle with Jenson Button in the McLaren, when Button misjudged the entry into Turn 1 for a pass and clouted the back of the Lotus. Button was able to finish but Maldonado had to retire. Yes, there were some decent moments in between, like Bottas getting by Massa at the start, then Raikkonen getting past Massa in the first few corners and the Finn's move on Bottas also letting Massa through.

Ex-Ferrari chairman sounds off on IPO

Sat, Aug 1 2015

Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo preferred to put exclusivity over profits when he ran the company, and the lower volume still meant huge amounts of cash for the business. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne has since taken over Ferrari, but that hasn't stopped di Montezemolo from voicing his opinions. "I hope that the clients will remain more important than the analyst or the investor or the financial markets," di Montezemolo said prior to his induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reported. The former chairman argued that once on the stock exchange, a company would need to maximize profits quarter after quarter to keep investors happy. Conversely, di Montezemolo said Ferrari's years of success came from an "exclusivity in terms of number of cars, exclusivity in terms of how you deal with the clients." When di Montezemolo left Ferrari last year, he and Marchionne were scuffling about the future of the brand, including the health of the Formula 1 program. With the change in leadership, the company has reversed course in some ways. Where volume was previously kept around 7,000 units annually, the carmaker has set a new goal of closer to 10,000. The paperwork was filed for the IPO, and Marchionne thinks the company could be worth over $11 billion. The actual shares are rumored to go on sale in October. Related Video:
