The Dardo, based on the Fiat X1/9, had a mid-mounted engine made by Fiat - the Dardo F 1.3 had a 1.3 litre engine, Dardo F 1.5 had a 1.5 litre engine. Fuel consumption was too high (12 -13 litre/100 km).
Bertone could now style, prototype and manufacture cars in volume, and this business model inspired the whole coachbuilding industry. Bertone later built the Fiat 850 Spider and Fiat X1/9 in volume, and many other cars in lesser numbers.
