Hyundai’s Tata Nano Competitor, Rendered – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhile the Tata Nano<\/a> isn’t sold here in the U.S., the $2,500 uber-economy car, along with its acquisition of Jaguar<\/a> and Land Rover<\/a>, has put Tata Motors on the international map. The reason for the Nano’s celebrity has everything to do with its ridiculously cheap price tag, which gives many buyers in India a four-wheeled vehicle they can actually afford. But the Nano also gives the competition a low-ball target to shoot for, and rumor has it that Hyundai<\/a> has the little Tata in its crosshairs.<\/p>\n

Indian Autos Blog quotes unnamed sources within Hyundai’s India operations saying that the Korean automaker is working on a Nano-sized microcar that could carry a two lakh rupees ($4,400 in U.S. dollars) price tag. The report goes on to say that the low-cost, sub-i10 ride, reportedly called the H800 project, is powered by an 800cc petrol engine and priced to compete withe the SAIC microcar, the Suzuki Alto<\/a> and the Nano. Further, the site claims that Hyundai will have a working prototype ready for real-world testing by the middle of 2010.<\/p>\n

Since Hyundai hasn’t officially announced the existence of the H800, we don’t know how realistic looking IAB’s rendering really is. But we can tell you that the ice-blue rendering is a whole lot more attractive to our eyes than just about anything else in the sub-$5,000 price range.<\/p>\n
