Of course, something at that price comes at a “price”:

  • The boot does not open
  • Single windscreen wiper
  • No power steering
  • One side view mirror
  • Manual windows
  • No air conditioning

Having said that, the engine has got only 2 cylinders.

So, how is it going to be he world’s most luxurious car? Well, a new version of the Nano is underway right this moment and will be priced closed to the Ferrari/Lamborghini region @ £133,000, how?

It is said that the new Nano codename DC490, will be stripped down to its skeletons by a company called DC Designs. The plastic and rubber components will be tossed away making way for some way expensive parts. The mods will allow the car to hit up to 200km/h. This is because the standard 0.6-liter 2 cylinder engine will be replaced by a 1.6-liter engine.

In the interior, do expect massive of technology input and of course, magic.

Honestly, I don’t see the point in this.
