The Dino 308 GT4 had not had the hoped happened one and, according to Enzo Ferrari, for mechanical formulation (coupé 2+2 with motor does not center them) in himself, but for the line of Bertone. It would have been enough to cover the same mechanics with a auto body of accustoms them designer Pininfarina and the things would be changed. Under these auspices nacque in 1980 Mondial 8.
In Pininfarina truth, also realizing a totally new motor vehicle, it maintained the formulation aesthetic of previous the 308 GT4: lines stiff and squared, mounting posterior lengthened from two fins ridges, advanced nside. To slim the flank, however, they supplied two great lateral griglie and a profile in black rubber, that it covered mounting posterior and the portion of roof over to the rear window. The chassis, to attice centers them, was the same one of the GT4, but the step was longer than 10cm.
For via of the norms antipollution USA, the V8 of 2926cc, like on coeve the 308 GTBi, had to more low equip of feeding to injection (Bosch K-Jetronic) and compression ratio . The power was modest, 215cv and the performances (219 km/h) many inferiors to those of previous the 308 GT4.
The public said twisted to the "Drake" and Mondial 8, not piacque, exactly as it was not piaciuta the 308 GT4. Truly slanciata and sport auto body was just the particular mechanical disposition not to concur the design of one. To get worse the situation, in the case of Mondial 8, they contributed also the performances considered not to the height.
The prestazionale issue came resolved in 1982 with the launch of the Mondial Quattrovalvole, pushed from the endowed V8 of head to 32 valves. the power grew to 240cv and the performances, totally, improved in sensitive way. The carried out one in the sales, however, arrived alone in 1983 with the launch of Mondial QV Cabriolet. The absence of the roof giovava much to the line and the presence of the tubular chassis, that it limited the necessity of reinforces, concurred to contain the single increment of weight in 55kg. The Mondial Cabriolet obtained large happening, above all in the United States (that they absorbed 80% of the production).

Ferrari 288 GTO
The development of the 288 GTO came started, leaving from the mechanics of the 308 GTB in order to participate to the contests of the B Group. Mauro Forghieri, head Ferrari planner, were involved in the planning of the new model also the Michelotto (scuderia that ran with of the 308 endowed GTB of auto body modified in glass-reinforced plastic).
To emphasize the derivation from the 308 GTB of the 288 GTO, introduced to the hall of the automobile of Geneva of 1984, it contributed also the line of Pininfarina. If aesthetically the new supercar of Maranello seemed a 308 GTB swollen with steroids (mudguards it increases to you, spoiler increased, embrasures), the innovationes were several. The auto body (in completely new truth) was in Kevlar, while the V8 motor, with piston displacement reduced to 2855cc, was supercharged with 2 turbocompressori IHI cools to you from intercooler. The change, equipped of radiator of the oil, was, moreover, mounted to jolt behind the propeller.
With a pressure of supercharging of 1,4 bars and 400cv of the maximum power, the 288 GTO touched the 305 km/h and covered the 400 mt in 12,7 second ones. Although the "numbers" from supremacy the car, deprives of dispositi to you electronic of control, was nervous much to cause also of the distribution of the power little to delineate (the famous delay of answer of the motors upsets of those years).
The program of participation to the competitions never did not come carried a.termine, but the 272 exemplary of produced GTO were sold quickly. Its ideal heir was the F40 of 1987.

Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40 isa produced sport car from the Ferrari, heir of the Ferrari 288 GTO Evolution, constructed between 1987 and 1992, year in which was replaced from the F50. The design of the auto body has not been realized, like of customary, from the Pininfarina study but from Nicholas Materazzi.
The motor is 8 cylinders to V of 90 degrees, equal piston displacement to 2936 cc, run bore 82,0 milimeter 69,5 milimeter, supercharged with two turbocompressori IHI, camshaft distribution double in bancata head for, four valves for cylinder with two injectors for cylinder. The distributed maximum power is of 478 CV (352 kilowatt) to 7000 giri/min, the maximum brace 577 Nm to 4000 giri/min. The compression ratio is of 7,7:1. The change is manual to 5 marce, more retromarcia, with clutch dry and mounted longitudinally record to.
* The F40 is the last car with supercharging produced from the Ferrari.
* The F40 has been the last car of Enzo Ferrari
* The F40 has been, to its times, the street car of faster series never constructed.
* The produced exemplary number, plans you in 400 initially, was increased until to 1311 reached demanded sights the most numerous ones.
* They came constructed also 18 exemplary of F40 LM (the Mans) from 1988 to 1994, models opportunely modified and with powers until approximately 900cv explicitly prepared for the intenzionati customers to participate to contests of samples GT to you. The Ferrari F40 LM came produced from the Michelotto (Ferrari coach) after the turned demand to Enzo Ferrari to make to run the new been born from part Daniel Marin that was the President of Ferrari France.
* The Ferrari F40 GTE last evolution of the F40, realized taking advantage of the acquired acquaintances with version LM, came produced between 1996 and 1998 (2 exemplary in 96 and 1 in 1998).
* The Ferrari F40 GTE had a motor of 3.5 liters and distributed one the maximum power of 880 cv.

Ferrari 348
Ferrari 348, in versions TB and TS, is one produced sport motor vehicle from the Ferrari, in substitution of Ferrari 328 from 1989 to 1993.
The TB is characterized from the typical auto body to berlinetta, while the TS is equipped of hard-top removable that ago to insert also in the type of car defined like Cars Plate.
Also in this case, like in many previous ones, for the acronym that it designates the car has chosen the numerical indication of the piston displacement, 3,4 l (3,405 cc for exactitude), continuation from the indication of the number of the cylinders.
The berlinetta it was found particularly to its comfort in track for via of the positioning of its motor centers them V8, than it rendered it very balanced and agile. These its dowries have been revealed also with the numerous victories of the 348, version from track, the 348 Challenge, used in several competitions between which the 24 Hours of the Mans.
Subsequently they have been introduced varying others, ovverosia the Spider, the GTB and the GTS. While before the draft of the version with capote in foldable burlap, the others two are modernizations of previous TB and TS. All these new versions are characterized from aesthetic and mechanical modernizations, in particular an increase of power from 300 to 320cv.
Produced from 1989 348 TB and TS, until 1993 with GTB and GTS for a total of 8.844 exemplary.
The design had to Pininfarina and was contraddistinto also from the front beacons to passing; some exemplary turn out have been modified in part from an other Italian carriage maker, Zagato, also in order to adapt them to the norms with respect to the automotive emergency in vigor in the United states.
It came replaced in the Ferrari catalogue from the F355 introduced in 1994.

Ferrari F512 M
Perhaps in 1994 the most mature technically) evolution of the Testarossa, F512 M toed make one's debut last ( and.
The aesthetic innovationes above all regarded the facade (with redesigned template and beacons R-a.vista careen from one cover to you in plexiglass, rather than to passing like on the previous series), the bumpers (new), the posterior optical groups (double, circulars and deprive of grigliatura) and the circles. To the inside they changed some details, while under the technical aspect the innovationes were greater. The auto body, detention remaining the steel tube chassis (hour to differentiated section), divenne entire in aluminum (before the structural parts was in steel sheet), while the power of the motor grew to 440cv. The performances, thanks also to the reduced weight of 60 kg, were highest.
F512 M exited of list in 1996, in order to leave space the 550 Maranello. In total they came produced approximately 10.000 between Testarossa, 512 TR and F 512 M.

Ferrari F355
The F355 Coupé had many evolutions, like the F355 GTS and the F355 F1. The name of this model, 355, indicated the piston displacement total of 3,5 liters and the 5 valves for cylinder.
During the realization, the Ferrari, began to transfer some of the acquaintances derived from the world of Formula 1 to that one of the series cars: injection electronic, flat bottom, sequenziale change and adjustable suspensions to electronic control from the nside on two different settaggi.
The chassis of the F355 was constructed entire in steel, the motor, located in the posterior part of the car, was 8 cylinders to V of 90° with 5 valves for cylinder, able developing one the maximum power of 380 cv to 8250 giri/min.
The F355 was many innovative also thanks to a deep study lead from Pininfarina onthe aerodynamics, a lot for the passage of the flows in the sottoscocca of the car that around the nside. The change of the F355 was 6 relationships + RM that during the production came finally modified and managed electronically. Moreover in the F1 version, behind flying, the balance for the insertion and the scaling of the marce was placed characteristic of the single-seater.
Version GTS instead was equipped of a removable canopy, classic of the Cars Plate.
The Ferrari, finally, decided to prepare a kit for the Challenge preparation for the sport customers and in order to make to participate it to a championship monomarks of large happening.
The 355 left place in 1999 the new Ferrari 360.
