The world’s cheapest car is about to get greener and sportier.
A hybrid version of the tiny Tata Nano has been confirmed by Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Motors, according to South Korea’s Maeil Business Newspaper.
The current gasoline-powered Nano — on sale in India since April — is hardly a gas guzzler. Powered by a tiny, 35-horsepower 2-cylinder gas engine, the Nano is capable of approximately 50 miles per gallon. A greener variant of this engine (or the larger 3-cylinder motor planned for export markets) could make the Nano the world’s cheapest hybrid.

This should tell everyone that out-sourcing American jobs to India is not a good idea.
You want a country handling your high-tech...when they make a car like this?
Put a blade under it...we can call it a lawnmower
I could use one of these as a step stool so I can wash the top of my Corvette.
I have a Honda Shadow ACE that gets 58 to 60 MPG and looks sweeeeet! Of course it is not so fun to ride in the winter time, but that is what the Ridgeline is for.
It looks like they took the front end of the ugliest car ever produced (the Azetec) and attached it to a golf cart.
There’s not even room for a guy to get a boner in that thing much less get your “Tiger on”
Yeah, about as exciting as, well... Okay, I got nothing.
Yeah, but that's a cool kind of ugly. The others are just ugly ugly.
Really dangerous--it'd probably trigger the air bag.
Hey I object to that! Those looked okay when you lifted the back and put bigger rims and wheels on it. Had a buddy who shoehorned a Dodge 360 in one, that thing FLEW...
Kinda like a blue Darth Vader, eh?
Looks like a freakin’ dung beetle.
I'd consider drowning myself if I were that ugly, too.
If they are going to sell death traps, they could at least try to make them attractive.
Luke ... I am your father!
Everyone’s laughing at this little vehicle, but let a few million get on the road in India with their growing middle class a few years down the road and the resulting increased demand for oil/fuel spiking, gasoline over here is liable to be several dollars a gallon more. Some laughing now may find themselves having to buy one to afford to drive from point A to point B. Just a thought.
