The Fiat X1/9 is a wedge-shaped, mid-engined two-seater with a targa top that can be stored in the front luggage compartment. It was originally designed as being a sports car for the masses. It features the engine from Fiats front-wheel-drive 128 model, mounted transversally behind the cabin to achieve a mid-engine layout. The design of the body and its construction was executed at Nuccio Bertone's studio and the results saw a smart, edgy profile, an equally modern interior and a well-balanced chassis.
