India’s largest auto maker, Tata Motors, seems to have understood what it takes to hog the limelight. After remaining in the news for years for creating the cheapest car in the world – The Tata Nano is back in the news after it was covered with 80 kilos [176 pounds] of gold (22 karats) , 15 kilos of silver [33 pounds] and studded with more than 10,000 precious stones and gems.
The one of its kind car boasts a price tag of $4.6 Million ; not that anyone really expects it to get sold. The car shall be displayed on Tata owned jewelry stores (yes, the Tata family is literally into every imaginable business) around India. It is expected to give a fillip to the Nano as well as the Gold Plus jewelry stores that are being promoted by Tata.
