Under Bertone designer Marcello Gandini, Fiat found its way to the wedge-shape car market that had taken early 1970s sports car designs by storm. Triumph had the TR-7, Lotus had the Esprit, and Maserati, Lamborghini, and Ferrari topped the class with their own wedges. The X1/9 represented an affordable sports car that delivered exciting performance anywhere but the drag strip. X1 was the prototype code for passenger cars, with the X1/9 being the ninth car developed. Mounted just behind the passenger compartment are the engine and transmission from the Fiat 128. That engine produced a whopping 67 horsepower in European form and a few less in America once it was hampered by emissions-reducing equipment. With the only real weight the X1/9 carried mounted mid-ship and the fuel tank and spare tucked in ahead of it, the X1/9 is best experienced on backroads and the twistier, the better.
