Would You Drive These Disasters? The 45 Worst Cars of All Time
Mondial 8 Proved Not All Ferraris Are Fast
Owning a Ferrari is supposed to be a ticket to speed and prestige, but in 1980, Ferrari gave the world the Mondial 8—a car that barely delivered either. Weighing 3,459 pounds, this so-called sports car moved like it was dragging a trailer.
The 214-horsepower V8 took over 9.5 seconds to hit 60 miles per hour—embarrassing for a Ferrari. Even some family sedans were quicker. At $64K, it was a luxury mistake that cost more than it was worth. The Mondial 8 also had a habit of breaking down, thanks to its finicky fuel injection system and a clutch that seemed to hate its owner.
