You know it, you love it. The one and only Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car, is also one of the slowest. Are you surprised? Don’t be. This Indian-built microcar was in production until earlier this year after a 10-year run
. Tato figured India needed an inexpensive piece of basic transportation for a growing middle class, but the Nano didn’t turn out to be quite as successful as hoped. Tata said the decision to cease production after just one generation was due to poor market demand. It came powered by a 0.624-liter two-cylinder engine with 37 hp and 38 lb-ft of torque. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? Not so much. Zero to 60 mph required 29.4 seconds, but hey, at least it could (barely) beat the MIA electric car in a drag race.
