DC Avanti Price And Specs - India's Very Own Sports Car Rolls Out In April

Apart from being proud about the first sports car from India, I have to say it looks good. It looks better than cars from foreign manufacturers. Dilip Chhabria seems to have taken cues from Alfa Romeo and Zenvo. In terms of power, I like that it is rear wheel drive and has mid-range engine.

Agree with you #-Link-Snipped-# The looks are really bold and out there.
I remember reading a comment though that this looks like the 'Wonder Car' from the Indian movie Tarzan. (It seems DC had designed that car too).
A lot of fans are complaining about the performance of the car not being in-line with its looks.
Would love to hear more opinions on this.

"Powered by a 2-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged 2000 cc petrol engine, mated to six speed manual transmission, that is said to deliver a maximum power of 50 bhp @ 5500 RPM and maximum torque of 340 NM @ 2750 to 5000"
Really!! you mean to say Santro is more powerful than this car

That was a typo. Had corrected it after publishing, must've taken time to reflect due to caching.
Tagging: #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# to know their thoughts on the DC Avanti sports car.

Firstly, the engine seems to be under powered that DC decides to make a mark in the West.Secondly, the name for a 'sports' car also should have been a bit more aggressive.But that is a personal opinion, anyways a good first start.

At 35L, I think Avanti will find customers in India. I don't however like the interiors of the car.

Well to add my 2 cents.... this will probably be only sports car which will come with no airbags. It's sad that safety takes a backseat with buyers and also with manufacturers.

I feel, Avanti really has the potential to be a genuinely captivating homegrown sports car. Giving a typical look as that of sports cars from foreign brands, DC gives one more reason to give out frugal innovation from India. Though, interiors are not very well equipped, as they are usually in other cars, but at a reasonable cost, it is appealing to Indian customers. Fab work by DC.

The exterior of the DC Avanti are eye catching (Very true that it resembles of Taarzan as DC has designed that too).

However, performance and engine specification doesn't allow this car to lock horns with other sports car round the globe. There are atleast 100's of car whose acceleration is better than this with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">List Of Fastest Production Cars By Acceleration</a> topping the list with mind boggling 2.2 sec / 100 km. Top speed of 200 kmph... that's less for a sports car.

All said and done, he did one good thing is to keep the price under check. With not many options around and the tag of first Indian Sports car, at 35 L he will may find buyers easily.

Very true and Shame (If it will not have airbags in actual production as well, this should be banned straight away) 😔

Did anyone here check out the car's interior photos?
I think that they don't have that *Premium Car* feel in the interiors. Sportier, yes.
Maybe it is just me, but I really don't like those orange or red highlights.
