Tata Nano - World’s Cheapest Car by Tata

Tata Motors - The leading auto industry company from India today officially launched Tata Nano - the world’s cheapest car for a price of Rs.1 lakh ($2500).

Tata Nano was launched by Tata as a compact family car at Auto-Expo in New Delhi, India.

The four-door five-seater car, due to hit the market later this year at just 100,000 rupees ($A2,835), has a small 33bhp 624cc engine at the rear and is targeted at Indians hoping to trade up to four wheels from a motorcycle.

The Tata Nano - which looks almost exactly like a Smart - has no air conditioning, no electric windows and no power steering for the basic model, although two deluxe models will be on offer.

But Ratan Tata, who heads the tea-to-steel group, compared the launch of the car today as a landmark in the history of transportation like the first powered flight by the Wright brothers and the first lunar landing.

He said he wanted to make “a safe, affordable and all weather transport — a people’s car, designed to meet all safety standards and emissions laws and accessible to all” and “a car that most people said could not be manufactured at that price.”

Here are the tech specs of Tata Nano - the 1 lakh rupees car.
