The Secrets of Fiat_Bertone X1/9 Part 02, Italian POV | Johnny's Garage

This is the Part 02 of the Video dedicated to Fiat Bertone X1/9 this small targa sports car produced by Fiat (in Bertone Factory) from 1972 till 1989.
The car has a had a curious design story and has the chassis derived from Lancia Stratos.
Designed by Marcello Gandini while working for Bertone, risked not to be produced at all.
The engines were 1.3 and 1.5 liters, but drivability, fun on driving are still good.

I owned a 1976 Yellow one and it was the most smiles per mile of any car I have ever owned

[@AlskinsX1-9]

I had a 1974, 1976 and now a 1982 Fiat X1/9. I guess I must really like these small cars!

[@stevejelly3161]

[@hglimshire8356]

I had a 75 X 1/9 and wish I still had it

[@m.e.345]

..would be nice to see Fiat bring out an updated version.

[@johnnysgarageV12]

Yes, ot would be great!

[@hyena131]

@M. E. Let sleeping dogs lie.

[@m.e.345]

@@hyena131 No doubt there are elements in the X1/9's design that would be illegal for a new vehicle on American roads today.. most particularly, of course, the pop-up headlights.

[@hyena131]

@@m.e.345 As far as I know, pop up headlamps being illegal is urban legend. This Fiat was crap to start with so why unleash an updated version was my point.

[@markbowden7238]

@@m.e.345 I'm doing a projector headlamp conversion, using four 90mm Hella lamps in place of the pop up unit. I had to square out the lower corners of the apertures in the body and mount the lamps inside the body. This will require me to make an outer lens from clear acrylic to finish flush. This part also closes off the aperture from water ingress, unlike with popups. Three times the wattage, half the weight, all bulb options inc gas discharge. Also way more aerodynamic. But I'm in the UK and this is on a car with a full bumper delete inc screw in tow eyes and a modified serie speciale front spoiler. I had to install the spoiler at a shallower angle because the whole car is lowered 3" on coilovers. Still no idea if the headlamps can be set up to pass the MoT but I'm hopeful.

I would love to add one to my collection but always wondered if a 124 twin cam motor would fit?

[@esrraddadi1821]

you pleave this the first car I had if I funded I will bay it good chanal I do subscribe for you

[@itssomuchfun8223]

Please talk about the Mk1 105TC and the Mark 2 105tc Strada and the 130 and the 131 MF and the 127 GT sport 132 GLS Please

[@gothicpagan.666]

Make no mistake the X1/9 with some bolt on suspension upgrades, twin 40's on the later 1500cc engine, along with an 4 branch exhaust manifold and sports silencer ; makes a great, great, great fun car. Better still do some head work and remove some weight you have the fastest small sports car on the road.

[@Jack-si2pg]

I'm a Porsche 914 guy...I guess this is my main rival.

[@johnnysgarageV12]

Really nice the 914!

[@markbowden7238]

Haha I parked my X next to one and it made the Porsche look massive lol

[@Don-kr5tp]

it was too small

[@FullWinery]

Yes, really small. . . the cars increased their size during the years; now, even city car are not so small as the FIAT 500 i.e.

[@AlskinsX1-9]

Easy to drive and park in Europe!
