mechanical engineering..Nano is a rear engine rear wheel drive carThis layout helps in having maximum passenger space in smaller overall vehicle dimensionsThis layout also helps in reducing NVH at driver seatEngine, ClutchAll Aluminium Two-cylinder 624 cc Gasoline unitMaking it light weight and high performance engine

Max Power of 35PS@5500rpm Max Torque of 48Nm@3000rpmCombined with the low weight gives a benchmark power to weight ratio of 0.058 which is more than any entry level carCLUTCHHydraulic clutch system for reduced effortZero vibration Pedal

TRANSMISSION: Gear Box4 forward speed & 1 reverseAll forward gears are synchro-mesh for smooth gear engagement.Cable operated Gear Shift for smooth gear shiftingmechanical engineering..Transmission, SuspensionSUSPENSIONSuspension is assembly of spring & damper mounted between body & axle to control vertical vehicle oscillationsAbsorb road shocks & give comfort (Ride quality)Safe maneuvering (handling quality)Nano rides on Mc pherson strut at front and semi-trailing arm susp. at rear.

electronics fuel..Total capacity of the fuel tank is 15 litres. Each bar indicates 2 Litres offuel. E starts blinking when 3 Litresremain in the tank

For the safety of the power train, thefuel gets cutoff at 5600rpm at eachgear and thus urges the driver tomove to a higher gear if he keepson revving the car in the same gearat high rpm

The fuel also gets cut off whenspeed touched 105 kmph with tempindicator lamp glowing.Customer need to fill fuel when 2 LEDs are glowing

When all the LEDs are off, then E starts blinking indicating immediate attention by Customer for fuel fillingE: EmptyF: Full

front.As you stand in the front of the car, the first thing you notice is the sloping bonnet with a spine running in the middle. The Tata Logo sits proudly in the centre of the bonnet in the middleLarge headlamps are set high with turn indicators on top of head lamp unit. They give nano a distinct identityWraparound bumper which is painted in body colour and houses fog lamps

Standing on the side of the car, you can see the mono-volume design with wheels set at four corners. This shape gives very generous passenger compartment with lot of head room and legroomOuter rearview mirrors are stylish and placed for easy visibility of traffic following you.Large & wide opening doors help in easy ingress egress fro all passengersBody coloured door handles a touch of class to nano exteriorsside.nano side profile has been called egg shaped

This gives tall stance to nano with ample space insideFront quarter glass adds to overall feel of roominess in the nanoAnother unique style feature is Style-in-steel wheels. The wheels look like alloy wheels and give very sporty look to nano. The scoop on the body not only adds to unique style of nano, it helps providing air to cool the engine

back.At the rear, tall headlamps remind you of Tata Indica, another very successful car from Tata MotorsAnother first on nano is central exhaust The Tata logo sits on the rear section. Unlike conventional hatchbacks, there is no tailgate on nano The engine is mounted at the rear and drives rear wheelsThe reflector (brake light /Fog lamp) aids in visibility during night and bad weatherThe high mount stop lamp adds to safety
