Rather than a sport or convertible model carrying the ''128'' nameplate, the 128 running gear and engine were reconfigured for a mid-engined layout and marketed as the Fiat X1/9. With engineering by Dante Giacosa and engine design by Aurelio Lampredi,〔 the 128 was noted for its relatively roomy passenger and cargo volume — enabled by a breakthrough innovation to the front-engine, front-drive layout which became the layout "adopted by virtually every other manufacturer in the world" for front-wheel drive. Fiat promoted in its advertising that mechanical features consumed only 20% of the vehicle's volume and that Enzo Ferrari drove a 128 as his personal vehicle.〔 The 128 was voted European Car of the Year for 1970. 3,107,000 examples were manufactured by Fiat from 1969 to 1985. Until 2001, versions of the 128 were also manufactured elsewhere in the world under license, for example by Zastava. ==Development== With engineering by Dante Giacosa and engine design by Aurelio Lampredi,〔 the 128 was noted for its relatively roomy passenger and cargo volume — enabled by a breakthrough innovation to the front-engine, front-drive layout which became the layout "adopted by virtually every other manufacturer in the world" for front-wheel drive.〔 Fiat promoted in its advertising that mechanical features consumed only 20% of the vehicle's volume and that Enzo Ferrari drove a 128 as his personal vehicle."〔 Fiat built an entire new plant in Rivalta, north-west of Turin, specifically to manufacture the new 128. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fiat 128」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
