Drifter

i read in a news paper. Mr. Ratan tata said that the car will have rear engine.

cheers guys!!!
looks quite impressive to me
i think it will be the only successful 1 lac car & the TATA badge would help it alot among the masses.

faithless_1984 · 24th June 2007, 14:44

Looks ok...not bad for a 1lac rs price tag.!

ramzsys · 24th June 2007, 14:50

so,what has maruti to do now? make the 800 about 50K cheaper?

zoomingbhat · 24th June 2007, 14:59

Looks are good for a lakh car,similar to todays estilo

Hey steer, its ok. I think one of our member (sushubh?!) posted it there and has already apologized here for any unintended loss caused. The techwhack story links back to the Team-BHP thread for complete story and also says upfront that Team-BHP has broken the story with the pic.

rahul_intlad · 24th June 2007, 16:17

Can't really find fault with techwhack.

But just brings one thing to focus again,Anyone posting scoops here, kindly watermark your pics please.

Sushubh · 24th June 2007, 16:58

right. the news was delivered to use from our forum subscription. we thought to issue it on our website. but the source was always pointing to Team BHP. I am going to highlight the link now!

carCrazy25 · 24th June 2007, 17:54

Wow...Nice pic man.
I knew that Tata wouldnt make an Auto and sell for a lac.That actually looks like a one lac car!!! yup yup

I was hoping to see some major design and engineering innovations - a different configuration, or new materials, new construction, etc.

I'm guessing that the major innovations are on the business and logistics side i.e. dell-like advance collections, spot/instant showrooms, supply chain, etc, while the bill of materials probably comprises of the same type but slightly cheaper (less reliable) components.

Just saw on AAJ TAK .. they showed the same photo Steer posted. They had a 15 minute thing on the channel saying they are the first ones showing these photos.

) I guess someone should tell them the truth that it was here at t-bhp that it was first sighted

tushky · 24th June 2007, 19:06

GeekSrik · 24th June 2007, 20:39
