Has anyone ever considered doing a cut and shut and taking the additional 18 inches out of the wheelbase and back seats out. Would be an interesting project and would surely attract 328 values then
I agree it would be an interesting project, but in my humble opinion - I think it would deflate the value. If one were to do it, they need to approach for personal satisfaction. Interesting thought. Be well.
Ummm... well, I had the same idea some time ago and I´d like to see how it would look, but it wouldn´t make any sense from a financial point of view. Anyway, if someone does it, I hope they use a crashed car. It would be a pity to chop a good car just for fun.
If you want a shorter Mondial, buy a 3x8. But, I've been intrigued by the Mondial lines to build a proper 4 door gt. Now and than some renderings from photoshop artists appear on F chat, and frankly, I like it a lot. But.... In order to do so, you need 2 Mondials that you cut up. 1good one and a car for the doors, pillars, roofsection and and and.... Probably a moneypit...
No, no, no. Pull the back seats out of a "T". Move the firewall forward. And swap the 3.4L V8 with a 6L V12. Great project for an engine fire car. Hire these guys to do it: http://www.carbuildindex.com/30810/fiat-500-with-ferrari-3-0-v8-engine-swap/
The Mondial's wheelbase (104") is what makes it handle so well. The 360-F430 are at 102", and the 458 is 104" as well. For a radical transformation, I'd love to see a wider t Coupe with a F430 drivetrain.
while we are at it how about a stretch limo mondial? just kidding. I do think the car would have looked better if it were wider and flatter. I say that because my screen was off recently and I looked at a photo of a mondial that was distorted to make it wider and flatter, and it looked much more aggressive.
How about a Dino-esque one? (s/n 8971) Matt Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Remarkably well received. Apologies I was just trolling for a bit of fun. May go on the 365gt4 forum now and ask about converting to a gtb
I did some photoshop fun, I will argue it was designed to be long...the shortened version and you really get a Fiero. I have to say I wouldn't want to do this to a Mondial Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looks better as a Spyder. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/attachments/mondial/2243015d1464074688-348-mondial-scan%25202.jpg
I believe the 348 Spider introduction, was actually part of Ferrari's logic in discontinuing the Mondial.
Hmm. Better than a Panamera for sure. And the rear treatment is less hauncy than a Rapide or a Quattroporte.....
