Fiat's-Bertone
X1/9 was designed at Italy's finest
design house,Bertone.Also the bith
place of The Lancia stratos,Lamborghini
Countach,and the Miura.The first Fiat
X1/9 was launched in 1972 .The design
of the mid-engine was influenced by
racing cars,and became very soon the
biggest mid-engined production,which
reached over 160'000 sales world wide.
X1/9 catched
attention of the motoring press,and
was very often described as the *BABY
FERRAI*
1981 X1/9 was
voted by the American "Road and
Track" magazine as one of
the best ten cars for the 80's.Despite
the fact that the car has allready
been saled for nine years.The only
major change in the X1/9's seventeen
year production history, was in 1978
when Fiat introduced the 1498cc engine
and five speed gearbox from the Strada
/ Ritmo. This replaced the existing
1290cc / four speed mechanics that
had been used exclusively up until
this time. The X1/9 was available
in various special trim versions during
its production run, which included
the 1300 Lido, the 1500 VS and the
Gran Finale.
