"We like this car," commented Ferrari CEO, Jean Todt on seeing the Tata Nano. He wasn't the only foreigner to like the Indian car when it was unveiled in the Geneva motor show earlier this year. All the ooh's and aah's followed after the launch as the Nano received thumbs ups from super bosses in the Auto Industry.
The world's cheapest car was developed like a secret nuclear weapon in an army HQ. Nobody knew anything about it, and company officials never spoke of it. They including the suppliers withheld all vital stats and figures until the official launch. Information dribbled onto the web in the later stages but that was again nothing really appreciable.
