This is one of the most exciting news that the whole world has been waiting to hear. The cheapest car of the world has been successfully manufactured by Tata Motors, India. It’s called the Nano. Tata has been working on it for few years now. Nicked named as the “Peoples’ car”, the Nano is set to change the face of not only the Indian car market, but the global auto industry with the cost of a mere 100,000 rupees (roughly $2,500).

Powered by a 623cc two-cylinder engine with 33 horsepower capable of 65 miles an hour, Nano is over 10 feet long, 5 feet wide, has got 4 doors, 4 small wheels at the absolute corners and a small big trunk. Though cheap it still meets the safety requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions.

This fantastic car will be out on sale in India later this year and Tata plans to offer the Nano in other emerging markets in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa within four years. Lets see, if this car is really as good as everyone is expecting it to be.

1967 SHELBY

Few years back I had seen a movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' starring Nicolas Cage's. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen till now. The last car that Nicolas Cage has to steal was 1967 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 ELEANOR (1967 SHELBY). This car was a modified version of 1967 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 which actually featured a 1967 Mercury Cougar tail light panel minus the chrome trim, a flip-up spoiler, and two sets of air scoops on each side.

Later over $250,000 was spent in researching and engineering Eleanor. They added a body kit, functional side pipes, mag rims, sport tires and a hood scoop to ensure the Shelby would not be upstaged by the Porsches and Ferraris that also appeared in the movie. It has got a Ford 428 engine that pumps out 650 horsepower and close to 1,000 horsepower with nitrous. You can see the video
