 'TaTa Nano', Cheapest Car Ever, Couldn't Come at a Better Time (UPDATE) Published: Mar 23, 09 Comments: 5 Views: 4,725 The long-awaited, much-delayed Tata Nano, the cheapest car in the world, will hit the streets in July 2009. Expectations are that the 100,000 rupee ($1,980) car will be a smash when the affordable auto starts to ship. There are currently so many orders for the TaTa Nano that purchasers will be randomly selected between 4/9 and 4/25 in India. A European model will be launched by 2011, while the U.S. will be impatiently waiting. The TaTa Nano was announced over a year ago, but hit production delays. There is concern that the Nano will only add to India’s already choking environmental problems.  Questions like, "Is it a proper car?" can be dismissed once and for all. Getting in and out of the Nano is easier than in an Mercedes S-class and that's no exaggeration. The doors open wide and high seats allow you to slide onto them with the utmost ease. For a car that weighs a mere 600kg, the Nano feels incredibly robust.
You expect the doors to rattle, the seats to squeak and those dinner-plate sized wheels to buckle driving over rough Indian roads.
But instead, the Nano feels rigid.
