Mahindra yesterday announced its plan to launch sub 1 lac car. The car would have a 400CC engine and have a top speed of 40-50 Km/hr.
A top speed of 40-50 is just impractical. The only positive that can be taken out is that it can replace auto rickshaws if its anywhere between 70-80 thousand as I think it would be because the Nano costs 95K and provides ample space with a top speed of 90 kph.
Looking at the build quality of Nano it would be very difficult to match with a 400CC engine keeping the factor the weight of components. Hope the government does not compromise with the safety of people.
Another player to lookout in this segment will be bajaj auto who plan to launch its car in 2010 or 2011.
