With the 38 horses that the Tata Nano produces, New Delhi cops won’t be engaging in any high speed pursuits on Indian roads.

However the police force in the city intends to use the small city car for other reasons.

The Tata will serve a special police unit, whose mandate is to help women and children in distress in the streets of New Delhi.

The tiny Tata Nano is powered by a 624 cc two-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 38 horsepower. The motor is mated to a four-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission made in Quebec!
