The cheapest car of the world is the Tata Nano, produced by Tata Motors in India. It has 4 seats and weights 600 to 635 kilograms. It is produced since 2009 and costs 100,000 Indian Rupees, ~ 1,440 euros. Before it got the name Tata Nano, it was famous as the "One Lakh Car" (
One Thousand Car). The engine of the Tata Nano generated 26 kilowatts and 35 horsepower, the version with diesel-engine has 20 kilowatts and 28 horsepower. A shifting system with four gears and a fuel consumption of 4,24 litres per 100 kilometres is significant for the Tata Nano. The trunk of the car contains 30 litres, this is enough for a briefcase. Many parts - specially parts of the motor - are from German manufactors, like Bosch or BASF. The car conforms the Indian safety rules, which are similar to the European. After an early stage of many sales, practically nobody buys this car.
Why is the Tata Nano so cheap?Many different methods are cause for the low price of 1,440 euros. There is no power steering, no air conditioner, no car radio, no electric window regulators. Some safety technologies like airbags or ABS are missing. The most parts of the car are based of plastic, instead of metal. To keep the price low, the producer glue the most parts of the car. Last reason for the low price is the manufacturing country India.

I hope not to offend you, but work has been done in a much better way yet. Mind your own business you might say but you have serious troubles to keep track. An effort would be the only way to clean up this mess, because you can't make me get the hang of it. This entry is slightly silly.
