\"\"<\/a>Ever since Tata<\/a> first showed off its diminutive Nano<\/a>, heavily hyped as the Cheapest Car in the World, the Indian automaker has continually said that it intends to sell the machine in somewhat modified form in both Europe and the United States<\/a>. The blokes over at Autocar<\/span> were given a sneak peek at the Nano Europa<\/a>, which is currently slated for a 2011 introduction, and they’ve seen fit to share a couple of new details with the rest of us.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Nano Europa will ditch the Indian market’s 33-horsepower twin-cylinder engine for a new all-aluminum three-cylinder unit with 60 horsepower. That new powerplant will be mated to a five-speed manual transmission with ratios optimized for higher sustained speeds while still offering good fuel efficiency and low carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the Nano’s tiny dimensions will grow a bit for European use, with overall length said to be up by about eight inches than the Indian market version. That extra bit of sheetmetal ought to prove sufficient for the Nano to pass European NCAP crash tests<\/a> and help provide a bit more space for passengers and their goods. According to Autocar<\/span>, the £4000 – £5000 Nano (roughly $6,500 to $8,100 on the pricy UK market) “will change the way car prices are viewed when it hits British showrooms.” We’d imagine a similar reaction if it ever hits the States, especially if it comes with an even lower price.<\/p>\n
