A Cheap Ride

Beep! Beep! Make way for the world's cheapest car! On March 23, India's Tata Motors started selling the Nano. A basic model of the tiny car sells for just $1,980.

Tata hopes that the car will appeal to India's working classopeople who could only afford to buy scooters, until now. "We set out to find a safe way to move Indian families at an affordable price," says Ratan Tata, the head of the car company.

The four-seater can travel up to 65 miles an hour. It is 10.2 feet long and weighs 1,322 pounds, which is less than half the weight of a Honda Accord. The engine is in the rear of the car.

The Nano will hit the roads in June or July. But don't look for one in the U.S. For now, the car is available only in India.
