The edition was announced some time back, but now it has finally made its official debut – the Tata GoldPlus Nano, all Rs 220 million (US$4.6 million) worth of compact car, was unveiled in Mumbai yesterday.
Working on the idea that nothing succeeds like excess, the one-off Nano’s exterior is completely covered by 80 kg of 22-karat gold, 15 kg of silver as well as 10,000 semi-precious stones and gems. It’s all good enough to make the US$220,000 D.C. Design Nano a poor man’s choice. And let’s not even bother to count how many basic Nano‘s you could get for the price of this one.
Unfortunately, all that glitter can’t be bought – the car is to be used for branding and promotional purposes by GoldPlus Jewellery, which happens to be part of Titan Industries, which is a Tata Group company. GoldPlus happens to be the largest jewellery retail chain in Tamil Nadu.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
No insurance company will cover this car for sure!!!
who would buy this junk that covered with gold but the performance is crap??better go for ferrari or lamborghini instead..lame ass….
get rid of the junk…and keep the gold !
not for sale la… for show only… dia punya emas, dia punya suka la…
it is a concept car….genius as u are
Ferrai, Lambo all depreciate as time goes by.. but this car price will appreciate and will be even more expensive in few years!
Storage can be difficult and expensive as the gold and gems can no longer be stored in safety box :-)
next stuff cadbury india partnership wif tata..built a chocolate nano..next thing u know it melts before hit the road :P
LOL!
What a paradox that is!
Hell yeah… “The most expensive cheap car!” <– wtf?
1 car, gets the 2 different price tag~~
1 the base model is the World Most cheapest car, 1 with super duper extreme premium model came with gold is world most expensive car~~
looks like a car for child molesters…
Aiyoyo…..Aci ….ini macam pun ada. Ini dawry gift la….
wow 80kg of gold? fuyooo
Based on my calculation, it is worth buying the car and then strip off the gold to be sold off.
80 kilograms = 2821.91696 ounces
2821.91696 ounces x USD1800/ounce (gold) = USD5,079,450.53
There are still 15 kg of silver, 10,000 semi-precious gems and the car itself. Which is sold for USD4.7 million.
I did pay 5 million USD for the car and yet stand to profit from it.
just imagine if we took this car to office, at the end of the day… only the chassis will remain at the parking lot.
irony… why must you make the cheapest car expensive.. hahah!
nasib baik just for show, i’m not sure the car still can move with all that bling blig on its puny engine. meh!
still ugly nevertheless.
Proton Nano?
So R3, get Fadly’s 1992 Saga gold plated up like this!
would you sponsor US$4mil for that?
A new twist to the word auto bling bling. “Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani”. A hindustan is always a hindustan..loosely translated.
When it catch fire again (very normal for Nano cars), it’ll be melted art sculpture!
no need anti-rust element on exterior ;)
Oh… it’s not for sale. Maybe Tata don’t realize there should be some potential buyers including one from Malaysia, I guess.
hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahhhahahhhhhh..i got that
no man should drive this car, the flower painting looks cheap
how much to change to light bulb of the head lamp? A billion Rupee?
Way to make a cheap car expensive, just another publicity stunt.
hahaha… now the car is expensive than a ferrari and a Lambo…
with ever increasing price of gold now, this car will be even more expensive in few years while ferrari and lambo become cheaper :)
oh yes
this is like an investment
get a life people
its a concept
for show off
its like dressing up an 80 yrs old granny and expect it to compete with syt.
the most expensive rim.. how many inch there? 12inch? price?
most of the cars will depreciate…not this car…
That certainly would impress Goldmember.. XD
WHAT A WASTE!
Park this car overnite at chow kit & the only thing left will be the badge
This car if drive or park beside the road, mesti kena rompak…
The insurance company will bankcrup if this car is covered by them…:) xD
hahahaha! =)) lmfao
You need 4 bodyguard to look after the car when you park it on the street, otherwise, someone would chop the side mirror. :)
i wonder how happy you might be if this car hit you and leave a gold mark on your car.
even with all that gold and gems.. the car look more uglier then before… why not just cover it with blanket…
This is not a car anymore
Is it just me or the car look kinda scary…..like a snake…a scary snake….evil snake…hissssss…
this car can be an investment
with teh rising price of gold
the value of this car will not depreciate
unlike the ferrari and lambo
juz to show off, he got a loooooottttt of golds…uolz sume, kau ada??
xde, diam diam sudah!!!
