The 6.5-second acceleration mentioned in the title refers to the most powerful model of the Ferrari Mondial series, the Mondial T. The original Mondial 8, on the other hand, had lower performance and achieved 0-100 km/h in around 10 seconds. We should have clarified this distinction in the video-thank you for pointing it out
@@everydaycar190 Oh I wasn’t picking on you. I was more responding in advance to the young nitwits who think 6.5 is slow. It was never slow. Coming out of the malaise era it was extraordinarily quick. But the Mondial was not. I think it was when the magazines pointed out a Fairmont with a stick could give it a run for its money that Enzo himself decided to build the 288 GTO, which most definitely was not slow.
The original Mondial was closer to 10 sec.
