Description

X1/9 is a two seater sports car with removable "targa top" designed in Italy in 1970 by BERTONE.

The car was developed by BERTONE, but initially Carrozzeria Bertone has only produced the body shell and FIAT completed the vehicles in another factory.

The car body was produced in Grugliasco on the outskirts of Turin.

The name comes from the design designation and it is the only Bertone designed vehicle that was not renamed for production.

This low cost, lightweight and simple car, which had been developed as the "affordable sports car" and served its purpose for over seventeen years.

The Fiat Abarth X1/9 was a planned rally car based on the Fiat X1/9, but it never fully materialized as a production model.

Abarth, Fiat's performance division, developed prototypes and even entered some in rally events like the Giro d'Italia.

However, due to internal decisions, the project was ultimately shelved in favor of the Fiat 131 Abarth for rallying.
