Here you go guys! First Pictures of the cutie.

It looks cute. Hats off to Mr. Ratan Tata and Co for the Nano. A one lakh car which passes frontal crash test and with Euro 4 compliant engine! Many were sceptical about the entire project. Kudos to Mr. Ratan Tata for showing the world what cost effective engineering can make. I bow to you for your determination and courage to take on the whole world of sceptics and prove them wrong. May your tribe increase.

The dealer price is 1 lakh; transportation extra.

So expect 1.2 to 1.3 Lakh OTR for the basic variant.

that aint the baisc version

the basic one woud be the red one with black bumers and other stuff.

You said it. After seeing this car on TV I started thinking that all manufacturers were fooling us till now. HATS OFF to RATAN TATA and his engineering team. What an effort. HE DESERVES BHARAT RATNA for sure.
This car looks way better than ESTILOs/SPARKs/I10s and cost just 1 LAKH. Its Eu4 compliant and passed the front and side crash tests. What else we want. Thank to TATA engineering. Next decade belongs to TATA ENGINEERING.

Kudos to Ratan Tata & the team! What keeps lingering in my mind - A promise is a promise!

MillionSwords · 10th January 2008, 12:42

yeah where will MR, suzuki keep his face??
I love the way Mr. Ratan Tata beamed the words of Suzuki and unveiled the cute car! it is so damn cute and I'm jealous of the car!!

Mee too want this car! arreh, if i have the dough I would buy one for my wife! lol and steal the keys every day!

Commendable effort from Tata Motors. The car looks quite good for the price. With 624cc, 33bhp, meeting Euro IV norms and if it's reliable and Tata backs it up with good service, Maruti is in huge trouble.

wanderlustindia · 10th January 2008, 12:44

Amazing speech by Mr. Ratan Tata as well. He drove one of the variants himself during the unveling. Pulling off a Euro-4 and Bharat-III compliance is no mean achievement. Also, hats off to the designers and engineers whose hard work has finally bore fruit. Good luck TATA.

ITs a great great feat for the indian car industry. It Looks suprisingly Good Looking for a car like that. TATA has done an awesome job. CONGRATS TATA.

motorheadinc · 10th January 2008, 12:45

I can see that a lot of determination went into the making of this car.

man Mr. Tata has shown the world that Indians are "THE BEST"

I m feeling totally out of words ....

The car will definitely be a big hit as it will be easier on wallet as well as easier on the parking space.

As most big Indian cities have speed limits so top speed is not gonna be a negative IMHO.

great going Mr. Tata.

Hats off to u and ur team

PatienceWins · 10th January 2008, 12:46

I am proud to be an Indian. Kudos to TATA

Now with us indians who always jam pack a car and go for holidays, would this be a car to take to mahableshwar or panchgani etc.

Even I was wondering of the same thing. Whether the power is OK for 5 people and sometimes the whole of 8~10 family members jampacked inside the car while travelling.

Wow!! Hats off to TATA! A terrific moment of pride for an Indian!

To all those who had negative thoughts and comments about this, LOOK UP!! We know all your egos have been reduced to their right sizes!
