Background
The Autobianchi Y10 is a supermini economy car manufactured from 1985 to 1996 and marketed as the Lancia Y10 in most export markets. It was built at Fiat's Autobianchi plant in Desio, Milan, until 1992, and subsequently in Arese and Pomigliano d'Arco, near Alfa Romeo's facilities. Despite its placement in the economy segment, the Y10 offered a relatively high level of standard equipment. It also introduced a new rear rigid axle suspension design, which was later adopted by the facelifted Fiat Panda. With a drag coefficient of just 0.31, the Y10 achieved impressive aerodynamic efficiency for its compact dimensions.
