Wishing to fulfill the dreams of thousands of Indians to be proud owners of a four wheeler vehicle ie a car, Ratan Tata is set out to roll the cheapest car in the world i.e. costing less that $2000.
An ideal sized, snub nosed car which can easily accommodate a single nuclear family of 4, this 4 door car has two trims – CX and LX. Nano as the name suggests is small enough to be driven through traffic packed city streets and by lanes. A view at its size will make you visualize the car size, 3.1 meters long, 1.6 meters in height and 1.5 meters in width. Small enough, isn’t it ?
Let’s move on to the heart of the car, a two cylinders, all-aluminum, petrol engine with a single balancer shaft has been rear mounted to give Nano the power it very much requires. With engine capacity at 624 cc, multi point fuel injection which churns out 35 Bhp at 5500 rpm with maximum torque of 48 Nm at 3000 rpm. Nevertheless, it is an eco friendly car as it ensures low carbon dioxide emissions, while its fuel efficiency rests at 20km/liter.
Monitoring the performance is an electronic engine management system while the lean design strategy makes it possible to maximize performance. The rear mounting of the engine ensures that the engine is located near the fuel tank which makes it more fuel efficient. A body of lightweight steel ensures that the car requires less power to perform.
For safety measures you have crumple zones, intrusion resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, tubeless tyre, the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body to mention a few.
You can always check out the two trims Nano will be available in apart from a base model. The base model will have seat belts, odometer, speedometer, highmounted rear stop lamp, 2 spoke steering wheel, grey bumpers and interiors, driver side seat Wishing to fulfill the dreams of thousands of Indians to be proud owners of a four wheeler vehicle ie a car, Ratan Tata is set out to roll the cheapest car in the world i.e. costing less that $2000.
