It looks really good. The body is very Aerodynamic.

Yep. +1 for the looks. However, the engine does not look very impressive to me. Does anyone have information on the tires used in the car? They look totally cool!

Believe me, I will not bet on this car. Does not appear to be so impressive to me as far as the technical specifications are concerned. Many other car models <not specifying intentionally> are even better. But yes, the looks are good!

Let us say Happy Republic day to this super car <as it is Indian>. ☕

Yep, the engine isn't impressive. But the looks are! If I ever buy this car (I'm not rich), I'd buy it for the looks and then fit it with a Tata Indigo Diesel engine 😛

Spider used to be my favorite. I'm still trying to dig more (and hopefully correct specifications). Does anyone know what are the exact engine specs? Maybe we should invite DC Design team here on CE.

Found this launch video on YouTube -

Hi The_Big_K
See still there is no detail about its Tyre or more detail of specification known in the market but one thing I would like to know that why you fell that its engine is not impressive see as this car is designed for the Indian roads and price is also according to that so I think engine is ok.

I guess I am in the minority then, I think it is really ugly. Looks like they raided the parts bins of several manufactures. With the later Honda motor it should at least have some performance, unlike the initial Ford motor. It's also quite heavy too.

Hey gohm
This is the first super car design by Indian and the most cheapest car in super car section, so it would be wrong if you compare it with Honda or any other brand.
