ONE LAKH CAR CONCEPT

Ratan tata had a dream of substituting two wheelers on road . this developed into emergence of a ONE LAKH CAR CONCEPT, which is said as the chairman’s parting gift to the Indian auto industry.

The criterion was simple, to produce a small car with four doors, cheap to run and conseable to produced in different parts of the country.

Beginning with styling , this car could be said as funky, starting from the zing DNA which was modeled on the smart and looked much like the Daimler Chrysler micro-mini ,the car is now evolved. It sports a sleek, but blunt front end which is reminiscent of the recent of recently launched ZEN ESTILO .

The engine is at the back thus there will be little space behind the back seat and the rear hatch. So luggage space will be premium and be one of the draw backs os the car. The rear hatch will provide access to the engine which will be below the rear seat, the folded over seat presents the luggage carrying option.

It’s a two cylinder engine and 660cc for a petrol engine and 700 engine. The company is planning to launch the petrol engine and later the diesel one.The diesel engine will be two cylinder common rail engine with a specially designed injection system developed by BOSCH for low cost two cylinder engines .Mileage has been reportedly to be 26kmpl in tata internal test and company is trying to increase it to 30. we can expect around 24kmpl on the road .

The two dorrs on the either side are tiny,especially the rear ones. How ever they offer comfortable ingress/egress considering the height of the car. Considering the height of make and rear engine,inside spacing is premium make. One thing is sure, it’s a city car and could be out of place on high ways.

The price is expected to lie between 1.1 -1.25 lakh
