Tata Nano
$2,000+
1,322 lbs
47 mpg
110 g/km (CO2 emissions)
0 to 100 km in 23 seconds
32-hp 2-cylinder engine mounted in the rear

"The Nano is built to meet the safety standards of whatever country it is in. For India, that means crash tests, seat belts and fog lamps, but no airbags."

 

Revolutionary car. That's an insane price for basic, covered transportation. Should be easy to repair and maintain as well.

 

I want to see one now with a Hyabusa swap like the diablo smart car.

Big step up, in terms of utility and safety, for places where motorcycle is the main mode of transportation due to $.

 

thats hella cheap!

 

Wow, 0 to 60mph= yesterday.

It really makes me wonder how much it costs to make.

 

amazing.
this will change so much in india, atleast with safety.

i remember last time i was india, you would literally see a WHOLE family sitting on one small moped or motorcycle..
hopefully this will come to replace that.

 

^ hahaha true story, i was there this december, 4 ppl on one motorcycle. Its out of control

 

probably has $15 worth of steel in it
