Goodwood Festival of Speed Timed Shootout (#57) || 2003 Fiat Multipla || Assetto Corsa

The Fiat Multipla (Type 186) is a six-seater car produced by Italian automaker Fiat from 1998 to 2010. Based on the Bravo/Brava, the Multipla was shorter and wider than its rivals. It had two rows of three seats, where its compact MPV competitors had two across front seating. The Multipla is shorter than the three-door Bravo/Brava on which it was based, yet it offered increased seating and cargo volume. Sales commenced in Italy in November 1998.

In common with a number of other modern Fiats, the Multipla reused the name of an earlier vehicle, in this case the "Multipla" variant of the Fiat 600 produced during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Multipla was assembled and marketed in China from 2008 to 2013 under license by Zotye Auto as the Zotye M300 Langyue, using knock-down kits from Italy. Zotye also sold a total of 220 all-electric versions of the M300.

A first Multipla concept car was unveiled in at the Paris Motor Show in October 1996. The final production car was presented at the International Motor Show Germany in Frankfurt in the fall of 1997.[4]

The exterior and interior design of the Multipla were displayed at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York during its "Different Roads – Automobiles for the Next Century" exhibition in 1999.[5]

It won the Top Gear Car of the Year (2000), as well as the "More beautiful Car in the world" in the same programme's awards.[6] It was also voted Top Gear Magazine's Family Car of the Year for four years in a row, from 2001 to 2004.[citation needed] In July 2000, in the series finale of Clarkson's Car Years, it was awarded "Family Car of the Moment".[citation needed]

Multipla sales began in Italy in November 1998, with most other markets receiving it a year later. The Multipla sold well with Italian buyers, but sales elsewhere were less successful.

Our 2003 Fiat Multipla sets a 01:04.036 lap time.
