TATA's Nano, "people's Nano"

Finally LAKH Takiya car has been launched crossing all the hurdles as in Bengal....today Ratan Tata has launched the most awaited car of the year...First gear takes takes you to 33 kph and a quick shift to second is capable of showing you almost 60 kph (in 8.66 seconds). Mind you, there are no excessive vibrations or loud noise accompanying the progress. The gutsy little 35 bhp engine surprises you with its energy levels though.
Like with all new concepts, there are a few things that you have to come to terms with in the Nano. Like the single blade wiper, the fact that the tyre sizes are different for the front and rear, that the engine cannot be accessed from outside (you need to open eight wing nuts inside the car to do that), that the spare tyre is up front, you fill fuel after opening the bonnet and so on. Plastic quality is passable, but the cloth upholstery in the LX version we drove was very good indeed. Instrumentation inside the car consists of a speedo and a digital fuel gauge that also houses an odometer and nothing more.All of that is stacked in the middle so that it is easier to make a left-hand drive version as and when the Nano goes abroad. Frugal engineering continues with power window buttons housed in the centre console instead of the doors.

A development, which signifies a first for the global automobile industry, the People’s Car brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. The People’s Car will be launched in India later in 2008.

here are some of the featuers of "NANO"

Meets all safety requirements:-
The People’s Car’s safety performance exceeds current regulatory requirements. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion-resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety.
