Sports cars made in India


India is probably one of the last countries that comes to mind when someone talks about sports cars. Although, the country has a mature auto industry, but it is generally limited to mass market vehicles. However, the situation is beginning to change and there have been some advances with regards to exotic sports car brands. Here we will be talking about some of the  sports cars that trace their origin back to India.
​

Vazirani Shul

Vazirani Shul

Introduced in 2018 to the general public, Vazirani Shul is a hybrid hyper car. The car has prominent sporty looks which makes it stand out from the rest of supercars. The owner of Vazirani has already worked with renowned companies such as Rolls-Royce, Volvo, Yamaha and JLR as a designer which allowed him to use his expertise in designing this car.

The car is powered by four individual motors on each wheel pushing out 1000hp combined as well as a micro-turbine jet engine which works as a generator for electric batteries. Though the powertrain looks enticing the company hasn’t released any 0-60mph figure.The entire carbon fiber chassis makes the Vazirani Shul extremely light weight yet maintains the structural integrity. Some parts of the car are left unpainted in order to showcase the carbon fiber work. As of now, there has been no official statement on car’s launch date, but it is expected to be released in 2021.

Motormind Hyperion 1

Hyperion 1

Hyperion 1 is a one-off car whose design language has been inspired by an F1 car. The car made its debut in 2016 and was able to make it to the list of successful Indian supercars.

Motormind expects to start taking orders by 2021, pricing details are not yet revealed.

Tamo Racemo

Tamo Racemo

Tamo Racemo was a Tata motors project that eventually got cancelled due to Tata’s cost cutting plans. Racemo was designed at Tata motors design studio in Turin, Italy and it truly exhibited the Italian design language. The two-seater coupe had a unique character featuring scissor doors and was supposed to be powered by a 1.2L turbo charged petrol engine pushing out 187hp and 210Nm of torque at 2500rpm. The company claimed that it was capable of doing 0-60mph at less than 6 seconds.

The car’s chassis construction was developed by Marcello Gandini, who is also famous for the development of Lamborghini Miura and Countach. Tamo Racemo would have been a success had the Tata motors decided to go on with the project, it would have seriously challenged the Mazda Miata also known as Mx-5. Its 0-60mph figure was 1.3 seconds less than the top of the line Miata and its looks were also unrivalled.
