A souped-up Tata Nano built for racing! Any takers?

Almost nothing about the stubby exterior of Tata Motors' Nano screams speed, but a group of gearheads in Tamil Nadu wants to change that.
J A Motorsport in Coimbatore has produced what they call the Super Nano, a souped-up version of the world's cheapest car, with the acceleration of a sports coupe.
Instead of the low buzz produced by the standard Nano's pint-sized 37-hp engine, the Super Nano emits a banshee-like wail from a 230-hp engine more commonly found on racing motorcycles.
As a result, the Super Nano goes from 0-100 kilometers an hour in six-and-a-half seconds and its top speed is around 190 kph, said Joseph Chandy, who oversees the Super Nano project.
That means the speedier Nano could possibly surprise a few German-made cars in a drag race. Read
