Tata Nano now launched!

but vibhor if the news are to be correct, tata has tied up with SBI regarding its funding for finance department in loan section for bookings of nano country wide.

Is that new true ??

I dont believe, this car is said to be peoples car & it should have more less & attracting interest rate to attract the lower end people!!

So lets wait & watch rather than hearing to this rumours :)

Does anyone know how much the top end Nano will go for?

Great info RoadRocket.

What? only drum brakes? :affraid:
Tata cars with 5k km service interval gives many trouble. How will this new, small, cheap car will be with 10k km service. Hope it is reliable.

Great INfo...

CC, Drum for 100Kmph is ok... & u know one thing till 95 we had only Drum brakes in 800 & Omni :)

What irritates me is 15Lts Tank, which is really insufficient :(

Even some bikes has higher capacity tank than this!!

Suzuki GS150R has 16lts tank :lol:
Drum brakes has many disadvantages and also it fades a lot. Disc brake is quite sharper and stops batter than a drum brake any day. Even for low speeds, disc is better, even though drum is not so bad at slow speeds.

Great info RR.
Specs aren't much nice for this tiny nano, but what we can expect from the wrold's cheapest car? I'm quite surprised that tyre size is almost same as in 800, that is R12 but in nano they look so tiny, just like small buttons!lol! and about that fuel tank, its also quite surprising only 15ltrs, they say that it will give 23kmpl but we know that it wouldn't be possible in city driving where you have to apply brakes most of the time at unstable speed.However, I'm impressed with colour options given. :)

Yeah vibhor the 12" rim on Nano looks too small, mainly due to its tall boy nature. Dynamically nano won't be good. It would be as bad as an Omni.

nice info RR, handling would be an issue with those stock tyres given in nano, and also as others said fuel tank is too small, atleast they should have given 20-23L tank along.Base,cx and lx any info in its pricing on road yet, seems cx would get more buyers as in his press conference Mr.Ratan tata has said earlier that base would cost 1L and top end around 1.3L so good package between this two for cx.

first batch of nano despatched from its current plant

It looks like the rear left brake light isn't working... :lol:

Nice pics vijay.
@zal, i think it is working only but it is out of focus.

some good news:

nano diesel with a 685 cc 2 cylinder crdi engine prototypes are ready and trial runs will begin in april.
Crdi kit is manufactured here and supplied by bosch for what is touted as the world's smallest crdi diesel engine.

Nice Pics Vijay
I think diesel Nano will cost around 1.7 On Road & Will be launched only in Q1 of 2011
@Zal, Come on Buddy!! Its working :)

no zinam,company is very sure to target its diesel plant sooner then 2011 may be around end of 2009 or by 2010.

there are about 9 packed nano's of 5 different colour of different models parked inside parsi hall/stadium in mumbai, which Mr.Ratan Tata would roll out on roads as was showed in news channes this morning with very tight security around those cars.

Tomorrow will be the greatest day in Indian automobile scene. Hope first drive reports come tomorrow itself.

The booking cost is very high. Then why did Tata joined hands with SBI? for giving loans to book the car?:laugh:

the topend variat would be 2 lacs on road price.
