"Ferrari is known for its elegant and robust 12-cylinder engines, but the 500 Mondial features a four-cylinder. Born in the post-World War II economy that was recovering from near devastation, the Mondial was built to fill the demand of professional and gentleman drivers seeking the podium. A four-cylinder could generate better low end torque and enable quick corner exits. The lighter overall weight was also an advantage. Drawing from the 500 F2 that dominated grand prix racing in 1952 and 1953, the Mondial was well balanced and quick. With coachwork from either Pinin Farina or Scaglietti – depending on if the car was series one or series two – it resembles the form of the 375 MM berlinettas and spyders of the era. Proving the formula was viable, Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi scored a class win and second overall in the Mondial’s debut race at the 12 Hours of Casablanca."—Official description[1]
The 1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial - abbreviated as "Ferrari 500M" - is a rear-wheel drive classic racer by Ferrari.
It appears in Forza Horizon 2 as part of the G-Shock Car Pack and as standard in all subsequent main series titles except Forza Horizon 5.
Synopsis[]
The 500 Mondial (Italian for world) is a race car designed for the historic World Sportscar Championship, where it debuted in the 12 Hours of Casablanca race in 1953.
Different to the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and other 1950s Ferraris in the Forza series, it is powered by a four-cylinder engine instead of a V12. Its four-cylinder "Lampredi" engine was also used by Formula race cars and offers 168 hp (125 kW) at 7000 rpm.[2] With a weight of 1852 lb (840 kg), it yields a power-to-weight ratio of 11 hp/lb.
