archit 2 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 well a good comparison would be when we know how long time does it take a 800 to 100 km/h!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manu 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 hi archit 800 takes 26.95 sec for 0-100km/h but what matters is really 20 to 80 km/h where she takes 15.46 sec and isn't far behind bigger cars... try overtaking bigger cars on a flyover and you will be surprised by th performance of the veteran!!!

Crazy cat 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 I agree manu, 800 has great driveability. @archit, I don't think that Nano can reach 100kph itself, if it reach it won't be as stable as 800. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karan_4n 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2008 but y are the two compared?? Nano is meant to be small and fuel efficient.. it has got nothing to do wit the speed and acceleration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archit 2 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 yea that is also true karan!! it is more towards fuel consumption!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was also a similar car but sold in millions in Europe only. Apart from car magazines, general public everywhere is hardly bothered about 0-60 timings, as they are more concerned about other factors affordability, comfort and after sales service etc. akj53in2008-12-27 08:48:39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vasist 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Most of the Nanos will be for family use , and no boy racer is going to buy the Nano( the 0.6 liter version ) . It's job is to ferry people from one point to another in comfort and safely and it does an exceptional job in that . Why are you guys talking about it's performance . and 0-100 in 17 sec is not bad at all considering it's also very efficient.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
