World’s Cheapest Car…..
……WILL PROBABLY ALSO BE THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS CAR. Tata Motors in India has just announced they will be producing a mostly-plastic automobile that will sell for the equivalent of $2,400.
In a poverty-riddled country where entire families of 4 ride perched on a motorbike, Tata hopes to ride the booming economy of India to bring more families into automobile ownership. Currently only 8 of every 1,000 Indians owns a car, compared with 770 per thousand Americans.
The four-door puppy will have a 33-hp engine, but they claim it will get up to 80 mph. They even say it will pass a crash test, but they don’t say who is doing the testing.
The potential market is huge, not just in India but other places like Brazil, China, Russia.
The Scotland Sunday Herald has the full STORY.
