Well i came across this photo on a forum stating that it is the new 1 Lakh rupee car that Tata will launch in India in late 2008. We are not totally satisfied with the photo and that its actually that ‘dream car’ Ratan Tata keeps talking about, but you can see it for yourself and decide.
The Tata group had displayed a very similar car at a ‘Concept car’ show in Switzerland and named it the - TATA Indiva. So leaving things as they are, draw your own conclusions and opinions.
EDIT - Here’s another photo.
Tata Motors has now launched the 2007 models for their small car, the `Tata Indica V2. The Tata Indica comes in different models like, the Tata Indica V2 Xeta - Tata India V2 Turbo.
