World's cheapest car to be unveiled in Detroit

Tata Motors' Nano, the world's cheapest car.

CHICAGO - India's Tata is bringing its Nano minicar to Detroit to show the Motor City what the world's cheapest car looks like, the automaker said Wednesday. The Nano will be unveiled at a press conference at the Detroit Science Center on Thursday just a few miles away from where Tata's rivals will be displaying their latest wares at the Detroit auto show. Tata said Tuesday that it is developing a version of the Nano for eventual sale in the United States but it will likely be several years before the mini car hits showrooms. The basic Nano, a stripped-back four-door vehicle launched at the Delhi show two years ago, costs about 2,500 dollars, while the top-end model with additions such as air-conditioning and a rear wiper costs 3,700 dollars.
