New Nano revealed in India

Ha, I bet you thought this was about a new iPod nano. Nope! It isn’t even about the integration of the iPod into a car. What is it about then? Its the Tata Nano car and it costs just $2,500, i.e. the price of a lot of the gadgets we have seen at CES this year, and although you may not get much in terms of luxuries associated with the car, you sure do get a lot for your $2,500.
The car is called the Tata Nano and its currently the world’s cheapest car. Amazingly it has four doors and five seats, but with a 33bhp 624cc engine I imagine it will be pretty slow going with 4 adults inside. The car is targeted at the developing countries and has been made with no air conditioning, power steering or electric windows, but, and you have to love this, “two deluxe models will be on offer.”
At 50 miles per gallon it is pretty economical and (as you can see from the diagram above) has been made with very much with cost in mind.
