Calling it India’s fastest hot hatch is a claim that the Super Nano fully deserves especially with the very interesting specs.
The Tata Nano is a nice, peppy small car good enough for intra-city commutes.
But a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration also makes it a very interesting proposition as a driver’s car.
To make things even better, it doesn’t weigh too much, either.
It’s based on the Nano but features a full body kit, slick tyres, a bolt-on roll cage, and smoked head and taillamps.
On the inside the Super Nano gets a carbon fibre treatment on the dashboard, Recaro seats, and steering (a racing wheel, no less) mounted paddle shifters.
Look at the negative camber on the wheels and you’ll understand that work has been done on the chassis, too. The dark grey alloys come shod with MRF ZLO racing slicks, and with a claimed weight to power ratio of 2.6 kg/hp.
Complementing the added power, the braking is taken care of by AP Racing disc brakes on all wheels, while there’s no addition of a spoiler for downforce.
Also, it’s highly unpractical vehicle if you intend to drop kids to school in it, because the rear bench is gone, and in its place is the above mentioned 230 hp engine.
Keep in mind that they’re highly skilled (responsible for making Formula Ford cars in India among other accomplishments), so make a phone call before showing up with your Nano.
