High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Citroen Prototype Y was a project to develop a replacement for the Citroen Ami, conducted by Citroen in the early seventies. It was superseded by project Citroen VD (VD standing for Voiture Diminuee). The goal of Prototype Y was to give birth to a small, robust and modern car which would have fitted into the Citroen range between the 2CV and the GS. The first prototypes were based on the Fiat 127 platform, since Citroen at that time was pursuing at that time an alliance with Fiat (the only result of this alliance in the end was the Citroen C35 / Fiat 242). Later models employed a torsion bar suspension set up. In 1974, Peugeot acquired Citroen, forming the PSA Group, and the project to replace the Ami was redefined as "Citroen VD", and then incorporated the floor pan of the Peugeot 104, thereby permitting the use of the 104 engine and transmission. The 104-based Citroen Visa thereby replaced the Prototype Y. There was also a badge-engineered Citroen version of the 104 with only minor changes from it — the Citroen LN/LNA.
