Tata Motors will debut its ultra-cheap car Tata Nano in New York this month: next Thursday, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum will put a bright yellow model of world’s cheapest car on display. Incidentally, not many New Yorkers or Americans have actually seen the car. The Tata Nano will be on display at the Great Hall of the Museum at 2 East 91st Street in Manhattan.

“The Cooper-Hewitt is showing the Tata Nano because, as the world’s most affordable car, it is a design achievement,” Cara Mc-Carty, the museum’s curatorial director, said. He also added that Nano has caught public fancy and therefore the museum is putting up the car on display.

Tata Motors has already passed all EU crash tests and safety norms to launch Nano Europe in the European countries. The model will be launched soon in the UK market. Tata Motors also plans to bring the electric variant of Tata Indica to the UK market. Tata Motors had already displayed Electric Indica at the Delhi Auto Expo this year in January. Similarly, the company is planning a hybrid model of Nano soon.
