The cheapest car is finally about to hit the roads of India this week. Selling at US$2000, the Tata Nano it is a car affordable to the ever-increasing Indian middle classes. Environmentalists are obviously concerned about the increase in pollution as well as the additional congestion on already congested roads. It´s going to be painful.
For car techs, the model boasts rear-wheel drive 2-cylinder, 623 cc, multi-point fuel-injection petrol engine, rear mounted. The 624-cc two-cylinder petrol engine with a single balancer shaft will have four valves. It will develop 35 bhp at 5,500 rpm and 4.8 kgm of torque at 3,000 rpm. The car should be able to crack 60 kmph in eight seconds and will have a top speed of 105 kph. Weighing in at 600 kg without load, it has a 15 litre fuel tank and is expected to deliver a mileage of slightly over 20kpl. That means a full tank will be able to take you over 300 km.
