X 1/9 Abarth (128), 1971 - 03.1981
The X1/9 Abarth was developed at the end of 1973. This created a direct competitor to the Lancia Stratos within the Fiat-Lancia Group.
The Abarth X1/9 had a 16 V cylinder head mounted on a bored-out 1600 cc engine block. The body was heavily modified to meet the requirements of rallying. A distinctive "snorkel" was fitted to the bonnet to supply the mid-engine with sufficient fresh air.
However, the idea of using the X1/9 Abarth in rallying was prematurely abandoned. The Fiat Group decided in favour of the 131 Abarth and the Lancia Stratos. In total, only six racing cars with the name "Prototipi" and one road version called "Stradale" were built.
