^ I've studied that one many times. Obviously a Stratos fan. They both share almost identical dimensions and both were designed by the same guy at Bertone.
This is GregS' on XWeb. 1,530 lbs., street legal. I'd like to do something similar to his and the 1st one on my previous post.

I've always liked the way they look, but don't they have like 90 HP?
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Ex-Patrón) :
Yes, but there are cures for that.
Also, super strong, crashworthy chassis, not too heavy, Pretty AF, Italian, etc.

That's the wrong engine for an X1/9.

All of the guys above were born in 1938 within 100 miles of each other in northern Italy, and became great car designers. It's really uncanny.

Giugiaro designed this, among other greats:
And Fioravanti designed this, among other greats:
And totally unrelated, I designed this:
Merry Christmas!
In reply to Gary :
More importantly Gandini designed this:
Four; Battista "Pinin" Farina
Gandini and Farina were born really close to each other...
Pininfarina; 1968, Alfa Romeo P/33 G.S. Roadster
Gandini; Autobianchi, 1969, A112 Runabout, precursor to the X 1/9,
and perhaps the Stratos.

You're correct and Gandini worked for Bertone.
My Fiat would be the C.29.
