The Mondial 3.2 is the revised version of the mid-engine 2+2, built from 1985 to 1988 as both a coupe and a cabriolet. As in the new 328, the V8's bore and stroke were enlarged, increasing displacement to 3.2 liters and output to 270 hp-metric. In addition, it received body-colored bumpers, new alloy wheels, and a more ergonomically designed cockpit; ABS was introduced from 1987. The 1988 model year was the last in which the timing belts and clutch could still be replaced without removing the engine-transaxle assembly.

Fuel injection and ignition

The fuel injection remained the primarily mechanical Bosch K-Jetronic. Additionally, an oxygen sensor in the exhaust supplied feedback to a simple computer that fine-tuned the mixture via a pulse-width modulated frequency valve, adjusting the fuel control pressure. The electronic ignition featured advance control and a distributor for each cylinder bank.

Body and interior

As with the 328, the Mondial received body-colored bumpers with better integrated turn signals and driving lights, as well as new alloy wheels with more rounded faces. Inside, the cockpit was substantially revised: arranged more ergonomically, with a more rounded instrument binnacle. Later cars from 1987 onward were also equipped with ABS brakes.
