Tata New Car "NANO CAR" also called The People Car
For $2,500, is it made of cardboard and powered by rubber bands? The Nano has a rear-mounted, two-cylinder, 33 hp. engine driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. It has a steel body like most cars and a top speed of about 60 mph. It can "comfortably" seat four, Tata says.
How does it ride and handle? Only Tata knows. Reporters at the Nano unveiling at an auto show in Delhi weren't even allowed to sit in the car.
How safe is it? It comes with seat belts and, Tata says, meets safety requirements in India -- though it's not clear if it meets U.S. standards.
