The rife speculation of whether the Nano would indeed make it to the United States has continued to march forward in full steam since the car's launch earlier this year. To put an end to such a speculation, chairman of the Tata group, Mr. Ratan Tata reinstated what he said before- The Nano will arrive in the United States in two years time.
To some who term this as the re-invention of the wheel, the Nano's fuel efficiency is only moving upward. Reports have emerged of a possible 3-door Tata Nano with a 800cc FEV (a German engineering company) turbocharged CRDI engine is being tested and validated by the Indian salt to software conglomerate.
"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.
