World’s Cheapest Car – Tata Nano Goes On Show
World’s cheapest car is expected to take the roads soon, as announced by Tata Motors, at India’s biggest car show in the capital, Delhi. The car titled Tata Nano would cost around US$2,500 (£1,277) to the buyers – offering the consumers in developing countries an opportunity to afford four wheelers. According to the company’s chairman, Ratan Tata, who interprets Nano as a ‘People’s car’ – a safe, affordable and all weather transport, feels its launch was a landmark in the history of transportation.
Tata’s new launch would be available in two deluxe models with a 33bhp, 642cc engine at the rear, the four-door five-seater car is said to go on sale later this year. However, it lacks air conditioning, power steering or electric windows. Initially the company will manufacture around 250000 Nanos, the demand for which is expected to rise one million annually. Although the car suffices the European emission standards, the environmental critics anticipate Nano’s arrival would lead to greater air and pollution problems in already clogged Indian roads.

It wont be as risky as an autorickshaw transport, and definitely a lot safer than the 2-wheeler, that is the standard mode of transport of the Indian middle class.

I have seen this car at the motor show in Delhi.
I’d say this car is worth the price, but if you want to think about your security, its a bit risky and don’t think it’ll be any fun to drive it.

This looks like a decent low-cost alternative to more expensive cars, but the lack of air conditioning would seriously suck for a hotter climate.

people with all financial background can afford this car, the owner of a Mercedes would now own a dozen of tata nano cars, what we here are neglecting is the traffic menace. The world has been materialistic and just owing a car is not one should look as an achievement.
