Spotted! Tata Nano Diesel


Tata Nano diesel has been in testing for some time and it is but obvious somebody would get the pictures before the company has the chance to reveal it. As I sad somebody must spoil the fun, finally it seems my prayers were heard.

The new diesel version is visually changed from the previous one in many ways, although most of it is same, like the rear engine layout has been kept the same. Among that the major difference comes out in the form of bumpers that are totally cool. An openable hatch is in talks and rerouted exhaust will make it a complete car.

The hatch and the bumpers design will soon be inculcated in the Petrol Version of the car also. A major improvement has been in the sound department. Now the Diesel version will have a tolerable noise.  All said and done, it is just a thought as of now and won’t be completed before 2013.

The Nano diesel will feature a twin cylinder 700cc Dicor engine which will be the 1,405 cc four port diesel engine. The engine will make its debut in the Tata Ace Dicor and then it will be used in Nano. Bosch will be providing the common rail direct injection system for the Nano Diesel.

The Nano Dicor comes of as a very fuel efficient car with a target of reaching 40km/l. Guess we have to wait and watch.
