Safety regulations. 1976 Fiat X1/9 (1300 cc) The original 1.3-litre, 4-speed X1/9 can be immediately distinguished from the later 1.5-litre, 5-speed model by its wrap-around steel split bumpers with rubber blocks, and the shallower engine compartment lid. Fiat began marketing a variant in 1976. Before official right-hand drive X1/9s were manufactured by Fiat in 1976, Radbourne Racing were converting left-hand drive X1/9s to a right-hand drive configuration for sale in the UK market.

None of these early conversions are believed to remain in existence. In 1982, shortly after the introduction of the 1500 model, complete production was assumed by Bertone with models subsequently badged as the 'Bertone' X1/9. Bertone models featured revised footwells redesigned to enhance legroom and sitting comfort for persons taller than the original design's target.

The last production models were named the Gran Finale and sold over the 1989/1990 period. They were a dealer modification of the special edition (commonly abbreviated to SE) of 1988/1989, with the addition of a rear spoiler and 'gran finale' badges. The X1/9 in the United States [ ]. Market Fiat X1/9 with 'ladder' bumpers The X1/9 underwent three generations in the U.S.: 1974 cars, 1975-1978 cars, and 1979-1987 cars.

The 1974 U.S. Examples aligned closely with worldwide models, including small (but U.S.-specific) bumpers, 63 hp (47 kW) 1,290cc engines, and four-speed transmissions. The 1975-1978 U.S. Cars were unique to the U.S.

Market with 'ladder-style' impact absorbing bumpers front and rear. Evaporative and exhaust emission standards, X1/9s were fitted with exhaust gas recirculation valves, air pumps and activated charcoal systems. These cars were rated at 61 hp (45 kW). Cars received increases in displacement to 1,498 cc and five-speed transmissions, with max power up to 67 hp (50 kW). The 1979 U.S.

Cars retained the previous emission controls. Model years 1980 and 1981 saw a transition from carburetion to Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, with the changeover coming in 1980 for cars sold in California and a gradual changeover for 'federal' cars from late 1980 to 1981 model years. The combination of fuel injection (FI), a catalytic converter and unleaded gasoline allowed these cars to meet California's and later federal emission standards.

Fuel injected cars were rated at 75 hp (56 kW). Market Bertone X1/9 In 1979 U.S.

X1/9s also received both exterior and interior revisions including integrated bumpers front and rear, as well as new front grilles and airdams. The instrument panel and dash redesign moved the heating and ventilation controls from the center console up to the main dash, relocated the radio into the center dash area, moved the fuse panel from the area above the driver's left knee to the area above the passenger's footwell where the glovebox was, and moved the glovebox atop the dash. During 1982, Fiat ended its presence in the U.S. Fiat turned over marketing and support of the X1/9 to International Automobile Importers, Inc., headed by, and turned over full production duties to Bertone. In 1983 the orphaned X1/9 was sold as the 'Bertone X1/9'. IAI and Bertone continued to update the X1/9, providing improved rust protection, revised seating to accommodate taller drivers, and a modernized electrical system for 1984 models.
