Fiat X 1/9 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1972–1985) — First Generation
The Fiat X 1/9 First Generation is a compact two-seat sports car with a removable Targa roof panel, built around a mid-mounted engine layout that gives it unusually balanced handling for its modest size and power.
Every Fiat X 1/9 engine in this generation is a small gasoline four-cylinder sitting behind the seats and driving the rear wheels through a manual transmission. That compact powertrain prioritises light weight and eager response over outright speed, so the car feels quick on twisting roads rather than motorways.
