im going to use this the next time my sister is driving... she'll go from a dead stop to like 3k engine revs just to have to go the next stop sign 10 yards away and wonders why her cars are all falling apart and shit.
One of the best builds I have seen. No understeer, almost no oversteer, mechanical grip and downforce in abundance, no twitches, no panic at the wheel... I guess many things are coming from sub 700kg weight, but even as a whole package is impressive.
@@michiel5160For sure, but this guy has really chunky tires are the end. That looks like almost 300mm tires at the back. Somehow I get the feeling this is built like some "Osella" prototype done in X1/9 shell :D
as far ive researched and i did a lot, its not a Ferrari 308 head its a misconception, the head isn't from ferrari as in the car company its from ferraris which was a small Italian company that did this head and made very few of them even the valve cover doesn't say ferrari it says ferraris
Not a misconception, info given to us by both Gianluca and Andrea Vescovi (the builder/tuner) of this X1/9.@@perfectentrytrading. A Romeo Ferraris tuned engine is a completely different thing.
That "X" is a PERFECT match for this course! The driving is FLAWLESS, and the video production is on a very HIGH LEVEL! We have a "WINNER" in more ways than one, here!
This is by fucking far the best FIAT car in the world - I mean the X1/9 but also this one especialy. The pilote is mad. This perfomance is trully awesome
Cividale Castelmonte is a scary, narrow, twisty road...more suited to Vespa then racecar. The frist time I ride it (motorcycle) I thought they must be mad to race here... ...mad but very skillfull.... The car and the driver are fantastic, graet video.
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 No?Because your car have limitations and you are still faster than someone without limits this is why i slightly like them more but all of them are great. I really not saying hillclimbers are - boring - if you understand.
@@joe125ful Well,on hillclimbs it really is more about the driver than car itself.Of course,it’s important to have competitive car but on end of day it’s as good as driver and that’s undeniable conclusion. Plus,if you want either of TCR and GT race cars be competitive on hillclimb you’ll still have to do adjustments and bit of modifications to have them perform. As nice as they are,they still fall short against something like car in video and where you get idea of real race drivers anyway?Isn’t that what guys like Ticci,Dondi,Schagerl,Bratschi or Meisel are?
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 Its same for TCR/GT class you need changes and make good setup and have great driver. I like how TCR/GT feel on normal roads,clean,fast...its like they race there eweryday. In other hand i like home builded cool Hill climb cars like SuperFast SLK when i saw it first time i fall to love with that car or crazy 1000Hp Evos or some cool looking BMWs etc.
If a race car be diminutive in size be sure not to miscalculate its ferocity, particularly when driven by a pilot of exceptional skill, for it may devour its prey like a Lion on the hunt. SPECTACULAR machine, the skill of the driver none less so.
Uk had a huge Special Saloons scene in the 1980s ...cars like this raced at all the famous circuits every weekend. Tony Dickenson raced a Chevron F5000 chassis with a Skoda silhouette body which ran a 2 litre hart 420 R ..amazing
@@jokerzwild00 weight, fuel consumption and packaging are the reasons why displacement isn't always the answear. See how motorcycles always have engines with less than 1.4L? Because if they went with engines bigger than 1.4L, they would have trouble in packaging this in the motorcycle's frame, and it would also be heavier, meaning that it would be harder to manuver it in the corners, and manuverability is everything for motorcycles. Same can be applied to cars, since this is pure simple physics.
@@runningon8883 The malaise era was a great example of how they struggle to make proper cars that work outside of the US. But their blind patriotism and ignorance makes them unable to do so.
Love this car. Not too sure about the engine. Why create such unusual combo? Do you save that much on weight? Always wanted to see an X1/9 with 13b or 20b. Feels like it would be a perfect fit for this platform
The Lampredi iron block is what makes the car in the upload eligible to race as a modified production car. The established benchmark for a swapped (NA) X1/9 is likely the 580kg 210bhp Polini Racing version uses a 1398cc R1 Yamaha bike engine and transmission. You would need to lengthen the wheelbase and widen the track, and use different control arms if you're going to use the Dallara style nose and outer wings. Good luck regardless I'm sure it will be fn insane with a rotary 👋
@markbowden7238 im not building my car for the track. I want to go play with it every now snd then on the street. I'm definitely going to have to brace the engine bay for strength and few other mods on the body. Greetings from South Africa

Lightweight alone isn't enough. In Belgium they also use cross karts for hillclimbs, which are way lighter, but the rear end is all over the place.

I’m guessing that the aero package is really effective! That diffuser is impressive! 🎉🏆
@@michiel5160Good fun to watch! I’m disappointed that they haven’t caught on here in the US. 😢
@@GranDaddo Surprisingly, it still uses quite a bit of the original chassis architecture ;)
man, the people who figure out lets use this engine with this head combo are nutty...

@@HillClimbMonsters huh thats really interesting im so used to it actually being the ferraris head not actually a 308 head I didn't think otherwise
@@HillClimbMonsters Please make short videos with builders! 10-30min (even unedited long version for paying subs) would be delightful.

Much appreciated ;)
Sounds even angrier than a Ferrari, if anything! Some _proper_ commitment by the driver there, too. This one's a highlight.
One of the best of last season, we have to say ;)
One of the best sounding 4 cylinder engines I've heard ever!! 💪
Up there for sure..
Perfection x 4: driver, car, sound, video
Much appreciated ;)
Superb driving skills. First fast section near the walls was terrifying.
Pretty high up there when it comes to Onboard quality on our channel..

Yes, but a Ferrari cylinder head doesn't magically turn it into a Ferrari 🤪
I don't know about that. I really want to see Ticci VS Dondi.
this car is amazing, but trust me, Dondi is on another level, he is quicker by far
We still have to see it going head to head with Dondi´s X1/9 ;)
Fantastic. Interior camera is absolutely insane. Guy is 100% dialed in. And what a noise!
Much appreciated ;)
La macchina è eccezionale, ma il pilota è Stratosferico. Bravissimo, pilotaggio preciso e un sangue freddo da paura...

Amazing. The onboard footage makes my hands sweat!

I swear, hillclimbers are on another level of crazy.
Its hard to tell becuase not limits..
But i like more - real - race drivers showing how fast TCR/GT 3-4 cars can be.
@@joe125fulThey are boring to watch though.

Real Monster and TOP driver 💯💯
That car sounds amazing and was flying! Was it the quickest car of the event? I love the high revving, low weight nimbleness of this car. Awesome vid!
Among closed (Touring) cars, yes it was. You can check our Top 15 video from this event right here » th-cam.com/video/_HXJV2JTsd0/w-d-xo.html
I know someone who has another one of these in the United States the Midwest Nebraska. Mark always said it existed and here it is.
Wicked sounding motor and the car is lightweight. Awesome !!!!!!!
Fantastic
Thanks!!
What a monster! And awesome drive!
Que som brutal, uma configuracao única de bloco! excelente video amigo!
Muito obrigado!
A go-kart with 285 HP.... unbelievable
Amazing car
I'm a sucker for those lightweight weapons!❤ See americans, there is replacement for displacement, is called weight reduction!
But why not have both? Large displacement engine in a weight reduced vehicle? See: many Fox body builds.
@@jokerzwild00 weight, fuel consumption and packaging are the reasons why displacement isn't always the answear. See how motorcycles always have engines with less than 1.4L?

Wow, wicked machine, very well driven.
The fastest X1/9 I've ever seen, holy shit.
haha OMG the stance of that beast
Hello!!!!😉👍
What a beautiful little Monster!!!!!
It sounds loud and push some air!!!!
Many thanks for sharing.
😉👍👍👍👌
Much appreciated!
@@HillClimbMonsters 😌🙏👍
Oh yes. Such a wonderful sound.
That's a whole lot of engine for a NA 2L! Somebody had their shit together when they came up with that cross breed.
Uffff,delicioso para la vista y el oido❤,hermoso auto!
this is the best sounding 285hp i have ever heard...
this is 2.0l 4 cylinders?
this thing sounds like a v10/12 of 90's…
It sounds closer to a DFV V8 actually, at least to me
Sensational
One little screaming rocket!
What a cracking build .
Amazing what a machine and what a great road
Driving style unique,transmission sweet!!
That thing is screaming loud. Sohc. They can really spin!

Now I get why people dont like turbo due to lack of sound.

I am not quite sure, but shortly after the start, i believe he was a little faster then 50... Just a guess... Clearly he didnt see the sign!😂❤
Barely faster :P
@@HillClimbMonsters thats the problem with them old car's which cant show you the actual speed limit because it hasnt got a navigation system🤣
Turn the volume up if you dare
Good track
This Giant Killer is driving the Hillclimb - as if its a FLAT CIRCUIT. Is Physics just voluntary at this point?
The punch out of slow corners for a 2Ltr is exceptional for an engine that has peak power all the eay up at 9500rpm. Wonder which block they used?
Man, its almost as fast as my Ford transit.😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
made in italy ! lol fenomenale !
I watch this again.
Hey, do you have footage of the cars close-up in the depot or driver's camp? That would actually be really nice to see alongside the races.
The X19 they should have made
I'm married but... I'm in LOOOVE 😊❤
speriamo torni Dondi per una sfida tra i due
i hope that Dondi will come back asap to see who is quicker
Now that sounds like a great battle with Dondi and Ticci and their X1/9s.

Iam not big fan of this Fiat type(its ugly to me) but i like that idea with Ferrari engine head iam curious if they make any changes or they just fit it with no problems?
Also its fast!
Question - how did they fit an 8 Cyl head on a 4 cyl block ???
V8 has 2 rows of cylinders, 4 cylinders for each row, one head for each row.
The question is, where do I buy one?
wiiiiiiiiiddddde
All Italian ❤

At 1:38 it almost sounds like a Ferrari v8
