Here is a tweet from Tata motors with a particular mention of Team-BHP, along with others reaching there one by one - that means the testing squad has reached the ground zero:

Indeed. This is good news for those who want some fun and not worried about fuel economy.

It will be interesting to see how many of those who wanted better engines in these cars will put their money where their mouth is. These should also be setting the sales charts on fire according to their theory. Let's see what the reality is.

I am primarily looking at a hot-hatch which goes fast but doesn't burn hole in the pocket. Ruled out TSI because of gearbox horror stories, Ford Figo due to outdated interiors and Abarth due to outdated looks. Also, all of these options are in 10 lakh ballpark. If JTP twins offer comparable performance, at expected price of 7-8L which is what is floating around, it would make a serious proposition. However, all this only if the performance is worthy enough.

Should be an awesome VFM proposition for people looking for performance on a budget. Waiting eagerly for a report by our Mods!

IMO, Tigor JTP looks terrific in that Metallic White shade!

Yet another angle to view them, the bumpers are edgier and yes, the ground clearance is indeed much usable for our roads. Finally a hot hatch that can do most of the Himanchal circuit too:

Ok. The red and black combo looks absolutely gorgeous. Does anyone know on which variant these are going to be based on?

Is it just me or are the JTP twins seem to be running a much higher groud clearance. If those pics are real, they seem to have a massive amount of clearance underneath. Might kind of spoil the classic lovely low squat look !

Taken at close to ground level, so looks higher than it actually is.

Very true. During Auto Expo, the ground clearance communicated was 160mm for JTP against 170mm for regular variants. Honestly, these JTPs do not really look like they are sitting 10mm lower. May be it is the perspective from camera that makes the ground clearance appear more. If at all the ground clearance is unchanged, I am not sure if it would be good or bad.

I sincerely hope thats the case

I hope TATA is not counting the height of the sporty bumpers and the low side skirts while calculating the official GC. In that case, its possible, the actual mechanicals might actually be higher. This is again a speculation only !

[ksameer1234]

Now this is very tempting. Looks like Tata has gone the distance to make the JTP brand special. Hope that performance is equally stellar.

Guessing that it will be available only in a single top-spec trim based on XZ. Only the XZ has ABS, a minimum for a performance hatch.
It might get the new 7.0 touchscreen recently launched in Tigor, and also touted to arrive in a new top spec variant (XZ+ ?).

XZ has an ex-showroom price of 5.25L. Guessing JTP to be 6-6.5L.

How does this silhouette look?

I am really excited for a car launch after a long time of around 3 years, even though I'm not in the market right now. The last time was around the launch of Ford Aspire and Abarth Punto. Coming back to the Tiago, I was a little disappointed with the figures of 110HP and was hoping for more, but after what Pareek said, my interest has jumped much higher. Hope it is true. A 120+ HP car at 7L and with nice looks and interiors would be an awesome deal. Seriously hope that this car would achieve what the Palio 1.6 and the Abarth couldn't and bring a much needed change in our market.

PS Are rear disc brakes expected with the JTP?
