The Mini platform is an automobile platform shared among city cars of the Fiat Group. ==Specification== Developed at the end of the 90s in Turin, Italy, the Mini platform was designed to be adaptable to the city car of Fiat Group. Mini platform replaced the old Panda platform (code project Type Zero or Tipo Zero in Italian) and all components are totally new, and were made to be adaptable to more types of small vehicles (including hatchback, convertible and crossover SUV). The frame makes heavy use of high-strength steel. Mini platform is applicable to either front- or four-wheel drive vehicles, using only front-mounted transverse engines. The standard version was designed for MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension but the four wheel drive version was re-engineered with independent semi-trailing arms rear suspension and electronic Limited slip differential. The first version of the platform was issued in 2003 with the introduction of the second generation of Fiat Panda. The architecture was developed by Fiat in Poland, in Mexico by Chrysler and later in Italy at Pomigliano d'Arco plant. A concept version uses in Fiat Ecobasic prototype in the 1999 powered by a small 1.2 JTD Multijet engine. The Mini platform has a wheelbase of 2,299mm in the standard version (2,305mm in 4x4 version), which is used on the Fiat Panda Mk2, Fiat 500 and Ford Ka Mk2. The Long wheelbase version (2,390mm) is used in Lancia Ypsilon Mk3. The third generation of Fiat Panda uses the standard version with a wheelbase of 2,305mm.
