Tata Motors will soon launch a indica fitted with equipments often found in a race car. To be christened as indica challenge this will be the india’s first track-n-road car. Indica challenge will host a FIA spec cage, racing seats and 4 point seat belts. Racing stripes (in blue) at the bonnet,roof and rear view mirrors will reflect the Indica challenge’s true character that means Indica challenge has more than stickers to be really racy. A twin-cam 1500cc engine producing 115PS at 6000rpm will power the indica challenge . The engine is peppy with a competition air filter and a free flow exhaust. To derive the power efficiently, the gearbox is retuned. In addition, the indica challenge will feature an optional limited slip differential. Indica challenge also gets a retuned suspension system, the competition racing struts and the dampers can be adjusted for bump, rebound and ride height. The handling is improved by lowering the ground clearance.
But fortunately this indica challenge doesn’t need any special registration you can drive without the fear in normal road. Only 500 units of Indica challenge will be sold through select dealership. The ready-to-race indica challenge may costs about Rs.650,000.
