Photo Gallery «Fiat X 1/9 Five Speed - wedge time for the young and young at heart»
At the end of 1972, Fiat presented a new sports car called the X 1/9, which was clearly different from the competition: it had two seats, a wedge shape and a mid-engine. And it was considerably cheaper than it looked. No wonder it became the dream of many young and young-at-heart. This did not change when it was given a more powerful engine and stronger bumpers after seven years. It was built for almost 18 years. It is still attractive today. This driving report tells the story of the Fiat X 1/9, showing it in current and historical pictures as well as in the sales brochure from back then. And of course you can also hear it.
