Fiat X1 9 Overview

They were known for their great handling and due to the mid mounted engine, they have near perfect weight distribution.

Fiat X1 9 History
The Fiat X1 9 was first introduced in 1972 and was designed by the Italian automobile design company Bertone. It was sold as the Fiat X1 9 from 1972 to 1982 but was then resold as the Bertone X1 9 from 1982 to 1989. This car replaced the ageing Fiat 850 Spider. The design of the X1 9 was based on the Fiat 128, but changed the front mounted engine to mid mounted which greatly helps to improve the handling of the car with better weight distribution. It wasn't until 1976 until a right hand driver version was introduced. The Bertone designed vehicle was built at the Fiat factory, but was then re-marketed as the Bertone X1/9 from 1982 onwards.
