Mondial T Cabriolet

The new drive-train layout with longitudinal engine and transverse gearbox, first used on the 348 TB and TS, was also fitted into the Cabriolet version of the Mondial. This new solution increased the space available in the cabin in all versions, and the cabin was also completely redesigned to improve ergonomics and comfort.

The engine capacity increased to 3.4 litres and it became longitudinally mounted, instead of transversely on the previous models. It was coupled to a transverse gearbox, hence the letter “t” in the model designation, and had an ABS braking system as standard equipment, whilst the front and rear tracks increased by 2mm and 50mm respectively. The longitudinally mid mounted V8 engine of 3405cc capacity, with a bore and stroke of 85mm x 75mm, was mated to a transverse five speed all synchromesh gearbox. The enlarged engine was provided with dry sump lubrication, and had factory type reference number F 119 DL and later F 119 G. As with the concurrent 2 seat models right and left hand drive was available, together with various world market specification models. From chassis number 75000, both odd and even numbers were used for the road production cars, thus, as all Mondial t cabriolets were produced post this number they have both odd and even chassis numbers. The Mondial t cabriolet was produced between 1989 and 1993, with a total of 1017 examples made in the chassis number range 80339 to 97733.
