From the description of a Mondial 8 on eBay: Vehicle Description 1982 ferrari mondial with 48950 original miles car has leather and is loaded speedometer goes up to 280 miles per hour it has a 6 speed transmission and drives like a new car. Sounds pretty hot. Here's the URL. Per the seller, "the pictures speak for themselfs". http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6212&item=2488984100&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
Not only is it fast, but probably the only Mondial 8 in the world with the listed options of: Anti-Lock Brakes (not until 3.2s) Cruise Control (never) Power Seats (never)
I looked at the ebay listing, he probably ment 280 kph instead of mph, and I think that he might be counting reverse as one of the gears.
