JA Motorsports calls their Tata Nano creation the Super Nano. The little car rides on a tube chassis with Formula 3 suspension and brakes. The Nano comes from the factory with a 624 cc two-cylinder that makes 37 horsepower however the Super Nano is powered by a 1.3 L inline-four from a motorcycle that makes 230 horsepower at 14,000 rpm. Power goes to the rear slicks through a six-speed sequential transaxle.

In blue and with a body kit it kinda reminds me FAS Spark, you know, that Chevy Spark with LS7.
They do look very similar.
Is there a way to quiet down a motorcycle engine so it doesn’t sound like a random orbit sander through a bullhorn? It’s the one thing about motorcycle based engine swaps that bugs me – they sound like crotch rockets.
VERY cool car in all other respects, though. Well thought out and put together very well.
How about an LS7 swapped nano?
Anyone here who can do it?
