Renowned Indian designer Dilip Chhabria has created this £136,000 Tata Nano.
Unveiled at this week's Delhi motor show, the bespoke Nano - which costs around £134,000 or 6800 per cent more than the car it is based on - has been created by Chhabria and his DC Design studio to appeal to celebrities in India.
The car has all-new body panels, brakes, suspension and interior parts, plus 20-inch wheels and a 1.6-litre engine in place of the standard 33bhp 624cc unit. Chhabria claims the modifications give the car a top speed of 124mph.
"I expect people from Bollywood to be interested in this project, but I think generally it will be people who have a passion for cars," Chhabria told the AFP news agency.
He added that he expects to sell between two and five of the modified Nanos per year, and is optimistic of exporting the car outside India.

Re: The £136,000 Tata Nano
To even the most uninformed observer it is clear that these wheels are certainly not 20", they are 13" at most with high profile tyres.
In my eyes this is clearly just some photoshop bodge up & not even a real car, quite why it has been given the credibility of a news article I do not know.

Just thinking... what to do with the Abarth brand... Abarth's weren't always based around Fiats, they sometimes turned their hand to Simcas and even Alfa's, I think.
If Abarth got hold of a Tata Nano and shoehorned a 1.4 Multiair into it - I bet they could make something a 1000x better than this and at a fraction of the cost.
Bear in mind that India is a developing nation and young Indian blokes will earn a few quid and catch the hotroding bug, just like other countries.
Are you listening Harald...?!
