It's a Bertone X1/9. Bertone is a design company...they designed the car for FIAT back in the 70's. Fiat originally sold it, but once they left North America, Bertone bought the rights to the car and sold it as a Bertone. Only 85 hp stock, but it's quite light and has an excellent suspension, making it an excellent back road rusher. In fact, when it came out, the president of FIAT even fired him limo driver so that he could drive his own X1/9 to work everyday. It was the first ever affordable mid-engined car.

BTW, it's targa topped too, like an MR2 or Del Sol
