The Nano’s drum brakes have been upgraded with AP Racing discs all round, the interior has been replaced with carbon fiber goodness and fitted with a roll cage and racing bucket seats. The pint sized 1-inch punch is able to hit 120mph.
JA Motorsport have at least tried to visually enhance the Nano by giving it a wide-body look with dinky slick tyres but would you really pay £25k?
At least with that roll cage the JA Motorsport Nano should fare better in crash testing, the standard Tata Nano recorded a zero rating when it was crash tested for NCAP by ADAC in Germany recently.
The Tata Nano was once billed as the worlds cheapest car and cost around $1,600 US Dollars when it was launched in 2008. The Nano failed to strike a cord with its middle class Indian target market.
The Nano was India’s answer to the VW Beetle but a succession of failures and problems have cast a deep shadow on what was already a car shunned by its intended audience who seemed embarrassed to be associated with it.
