Fiat X1/9
"But also like, you know, brought mid engine cars reliably to the masses. You know, like there were mid mass produced mid engine cars before that, you know, they had the the Bertone or the as was known later in it's life, but the Fiat X-19. So, but for me, I think the car that really dominated touring cars and was, was such an iconic car and it's legacy kind of went all over the world in different formats. Is the Sierra Rs Cosworth."
