As in the Type Two platform, the suspension is independent all-around, composed of MacPherson struts at the front and trailing arms at the rear.
The Alfa Romeo 156 and Lancia Lybra used a development of the C1 platform, called "Type Two rev.
3", with an extended wheelbase and a different suspension setup: double wishbones at the front and MacPherson struts at the rear for the Alfa; MacPherson struts at the front and BLG ("Bracci Longitudinali Guidati", translating to "Guided Longitudinal Arms") multilink rear suspension for the Lancia.
Between 2007 and 2008 the C-platform was used by the new Fiat Bravo[2] and the new third generation Lancia Delta with longer wheelbase.
The C-platform supports many of Fiat engines from 1.2 FIRE petrol to 1.9 diesel MultiJet TwinTurbo.
