\nDC Designs<\/a> came out swinging at this week’s Auto Expo 2010, and in addition to revealing its Imperator and Ying Yang concepts<\/a>, the Mumbai-based firm’s namesake – Dilip Chhabaria – revealed plans to produce a bespoke Tata Nano<\/a> that’s set to cost… wait for it… 10 million rupee. That’s $220,000.<\/p>\n

How could Chhabari possibly inflate the price of the Nano by some $218,000? According to reports coming out New Delhi, DC plans to completely overhaul the budget runabout, replacing all the body panels, brakes, suspension and interior components, along with fitting 20-inch wheels and replacing the 33 horsepower, 624cc engine with a 1.6-liter mill that’s able to propel the five-seat hatch to a maximum speed of 124 mph. We figure we could do all of that on a LeMons budget, so either something got lost in translation or we’ll have what he’s having.<\/p>\n

Chhabari told the AFP<\/em> that he expects, “…people from Bollywood to be interested in this project, but I think generally it will be people who have a passion for cars.” DC plans to sell between two and five modified Nanos each year and expects to not only market his creation in India, but also export his $200k hatch to outside markets. Hey Dilip, stop hogging the hookah.<\/p>\n
