Sounds like a dream come true for citizens from developing countries , the dream of driving their own car is now just a ( 2000 $ ) away ( 10,000 Egyptian pounds ) !
The Nano, from Tata, the Indian conglomerate bidding for Jaguar and Land Rover, was unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo.
The “People’s Car” comes so cheap by minimising components, particularly steel , and taking advantage of India’s low production cost
The Nano, from Tata, the Indian conglomerate bidding for Jaguar and Land Rover, was unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo.

But questions about safety might pop-up in our minds , OK we know it's that cheap , but is it safe ?
Well .. Mr. Tata says it is :
“We shrunk it, made the engine smaller and used fewer materials but we haven’t taken any shortcuts in term of safety or emissions,”
In an effort to allay fears that something so cheap could not be safe , Mr Tata said that it had passed a full-frontal crash test in India and was designed to sustain further impact testing under European standards. ( Info from Times online )
The car will be sold first in India from the second half of this year ,and it is expected to be made available in Latin America, SouthEast Asia and Africa.
