The odometer on this black Ferrari Mondial T, featured here in February of last year, hasn't moved a single click in the span of 15 months since its first listing. Conversely, the price has softened by 8%. Our attraction to this example? Steadfast, if not even stronger.

The Mondial can seem like a compromised 308 or 328, when in reality it is more fairly compared to something like the 964 generation of Porsche 911, which came to market in the 1989 model year. Both are high-end sports coupes with both engine and a pair of passengers (theoretically) located aft of the driver. From a 3.6L boxer 6, the 911 manages 247hp, while the Ferrari produces 300hp from only 3.4L of displacement. That fact that the Ferrari tops out at around 158mph while the Porsche carries on until 163mph is an indication that the Mondial T is geared to rip, with a shorter final drive. Once into the power band, the Ferrari is likely to trounce the Porsche on acceleration.

As we've mentioned before, the price of progress in the case of the Mondial T is a more demanding service situation. Transverse-engined Mondials provide timing belt access through the wheel well, while the later longitudinal cars require the rear subframe to be dropped. It's not exactly complicated, but the act requires a fair amount of coordination of body and engine lifting devices.

What really surprises us about these later Mondials is their rarity in North America - only 42 or so examples were imported, resulting in an allotment of one vehicle per dealership. A Ferrari F40 would be a more common sight, were they to ever make it out of their underground bunkers. We weren't too put off by the price when this example was first listed, and with the recent price reduction, the pricing seems to be very realistic. There is a premium over a similar Porsche 911 and for good reason, starting with performance and scarcity.
