Nano, the world's cheapest & smallest car labelled "People's car" from TATA Motors has been unveiled at a glittering ceremony in India Auto Expo minutes before.
The 4 door 5 seater car is extremely sleek and cute and comes in Standard and Deluxe variations. It has a top speed of 70 km/phr, is extremely fuel efficient (gives 20km/lt. or 50miles/gallon), has a 624CC 33bhp engine. As per Mr. Ratan Tata, the car meets the stringent Euro IV emission norms and is Bharat II compliant, thus being extremely environment friendly. On the safety front, it meets the front collision safety norms as per Indian standards and meets the side and rear impact norms of International standards.
The car is roughly 8% smaller in size than Maruti 800, the people's car so far but has 21% more interior space than it. It has a rear engine though.
In spite of rising input costs, Mr. Tata has promised the standard version of the car at a ex-showroom price of Rs. 1,00,000.00 roughly equivalent to $2600 (1$=38Rs) stating that "Promise is a promise".
Best of luck TATA Motors for launching of the car. Hopefully I can get my hands to it when its launched commercially in August / September 2008.
