There are no ugly Ferraris and not even one within everyone’s reach. The cheapest in history, however, costs a considerable sum. Let’s find out which model it is.
The current Ferraris make supercar enthusiasts tremble with innovative technical solutions. They are racing cars born from experience on the track, full of extreme aerodynamic solutions and power for authentic handles. Futuristic ideas stand out in the cockpits. Once upon a time, the Rosse were less focused on luxury, guaranteeing more classic quality than minimal hi-tech solutions.
The Ferrari price list guarantees prohibitive supercars in terms of price. Quality comes at a high price, but the Maranello workshop is becoming very expensive. The change of pace occurred with exports to countries with emerging economies. If Ferraris were once driven by a few eminences and VIPs, today they have become much more popular. In China there has also been a notable development of the luxury market.
Ferrari is the number 1 brand in the world. It has always projected itself into the future with courage and determination, thinking that the next car will always be better than the previous one. The first 100% electric supercar will also be offered in 2025. There is a clear change of pace compared to a past by Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, with hybrid models and SUVs.
Motorsport has always given a significant boost to sales, even in 2023, thanks to the victory at Le Mans. Technical advances are imbued with passion and innovations. But now let’s rewind the tape and go back to a past model that was a half-flop, although it had a strong link with a special triumph of the Scuderia in Formula 1.
Ferrari, here’s the cheapest model
The cheapest Cavallino supercar was created following the world title won in F1 in 1979 by Jody Scheckter, who was also joined by the manufacturers with the help of a spectacular Gilles Villeneuve in the 312 T4. The Modena company wanted to celebrate the triumph of the South African and Canadian with the Mondial. It was produced, in various versions, between 1980 and 1993with the cabriolet variant launched in 1983. In total, approximately 6149 examples were built.
For sale on Autoscout24.it, this car can be purchased, obviously second-hand, for around 40 thousand euros. The design was entrusted to Pininfarina, also because the previous one, the Dino 308 GT4, was not a resounding success, and Drake preferred not to confirm Bertone’s signature. On the Mondial, enthusiasts will be able to admire the grilles on the sides which became iconic with the Testarossa. Under the hood was a 214 horsepower V8 engine, derived from the 308 GTB. See the details in the AUTOCLASSICHE Heritage video.
The maximum speed was around 220 km/h and was not suitable for tall people. The dimensions of the Mondial, compared to current cars, were minthe. The supercar boasted a tubular chassis with an extended wheelbase and independent suspension. The Ferrari was refined down to the smallest detail and was very elegant.
The cockpit was characterized by electric buttons which replaced the mechanical pull levers. The seats were in Connolly leather, while the electronic ignition system was guaranteed by Marelli Digiplex. Having it in your garage is, however, a luxury. Ferraris should be preserved like jewels and checked regularly. We always recommend a check by your trusted mechanic. If you have 200 thousand euros in the bank to invest, the Coupé Roma, entry level from the Modena company, is the cheapest on the current price list.
