Check it out here: > **[Bajaj RE60 Could Replace Tata Nano as World's Cheapest Car » AutoGuide.com News](https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/01/bajaj-re60-could-replace-tata-nano-as-worlds-cheapest-car.html)** > > Watch out Tata Nano – there’s a new vehicle in town and its aiming to be the cheapest car on the road. The Bajaj RE60 in a new four wheeled vehicle that’s looking to replace the Nano as the most inexpensive car in India. Tipping the scales at a mere... 1 cyl, 20 HP engine; dinner plate tires; top speed of 43 MPH, and all for a mere $2700 or so. It’s not sold in the USA of course, but I wonder if passengers in rickshaws will appreciate a stuffy car for most of the year in South Asia. It couldn’t possible have AC. Whatcha think? ---

I thought the Nano was selling slow because it was TOO cheap - wonder how much ‘bottom’ there is to the India market… ---

Twenty whole ponys? 43 mph? Wow. I think the mechanism that put the convertable top up and won on my dad’s old Pontiac had a bigger motor thaan that. ---

The little car’s appearance was certainly designed well. If it’s reliability is better than a Tata Nano or even a Yugo it should sell well. If it’s has an AC then they won’t be able to keep them in stock. ---

“How many clowns can fit in it?” Not many, by the look of it. “If it’s has an AC then they won’t be able to keep them in stock.” I doubt it. With the AC on, it might have a top speed of 20 MPH. It’s meant to replace an auto rickshaw. You can see the competition below: [http://auto-rickshaw.com/](http://auto-rickshaw.com/) ---

Okay, the AC will definitely slow the vehicle down but I think 25% instead of 50%+. I could be wrong however since a 20hp engine does not come down the pike often enough to do any testing. I did have a Pontiac T1000 in years past (wife’s car) that used a calendar to clock 0-60mph times.
