Tata Motors on January 10, 2008 unveiled their Rs.1 Lakh ($2544) car named Nano (nick named: Lakhtakiya) at Auto Expo in New Delhi India. This is going to be the cheapest car in the world. About 5 years back Mr. Ratan N. Tata, Chairman of the Tata Group and Tata Motors promised this car which is going to be a big hit amongst Indian middle class family who were earlier not able to afford a car. Technical Features of Tata Nano are as follows:

Engine: 623CC 2 Cylinders Petrol
Power: 33 PS
Body dimensions:
Length: 3.1 m
Width: 1.5 m
Height: 1.6 m
Fuel tank capacity: 30L

Engine is manufactured by Bosch at $700 price and car is made lighter as much as possible to maximize the performance. The deluxe model of this car will also have AC. I can’t understand how such a small engine will be able to run AC. Mileage of this car is claimed to be around 20 – 22 Kmpl which is quite good if actually achieved on road.
