Tata Nano and Air Car

I am amazed to see the similarities between Tata Nano--the world's cheapest car,at $2,500 and Air Car.Look at the picture below and the one with my previous post and you will see what I see



Of course both of them are produced by Tata Motors but I am wounder who's design is it---- Guy Nègre or Tata Motors ? However that does not undermine the fact that we a have a absolute beauty that will herald a new auto revolution in India and elsewhere.
Company chairman Ratan Tata, who introduced the new car at India's main auto show, has long promised a $2,500 "People's Car" for India — a country of some 1.1 billion where only seven of every 1,000 people own a car. That vow has been much-derided by the global industry which said it would be impossible without sacrificing safety and quality.In terms of performance it doesn't offer much more than the Model T. The Nano has a two-cylinder 0.6 liter gasoline engine with 33 horsepower, giving it a top speed of about 60 mph, according to Tata. It gets 50 miles per gallon.Tata initially plans to manufacture some 250,000 Nanos per year. That would be about a quarter of all cars sold in India last year.
