BMW May Join The Micro Car Fray

Fresh off recent success in India, BMW has announced the possibility of releasing a new micro car there. Their new concept programme would likely explore a truly luxury version of the micro car class. BMW India President Peter Kronschnabl confirmed that the company has already completed a study on a potential new product launch, but would not say what the company has planned.

According to the PTI news agency, Kronschnabl said, "I cannot say when the car would be launched in India. The market analysis for the launch is over and the discussions are on with the headquarters."

This past February, WCF reported on BMW redeveloping the classic Isetta bubble car, possibly with hybrid technology and high-performance petrol and diesel turbo engines. An all-electric city car is also a possibility. Our artist's rendering of the Isetta can be seen in the gallery. The Isetta, a highly successful microcar from the early 1950s, would likely be built on a platform that could realistically fight the Nano on its own. Add in the possibility of better performance and greener technologies and you could see a higher sticker price justified by a reduced operating cost.

The Indian press reported that Kronschnabl said a BMW micro car could cost around 2,000,000 Indian Rupees, or a bit over $49,000. However, it seems either the press misquoted the BMW executive, the executive misspoke, or the BMW Micro Car is not intended to compete in the same class as the Nano. It is pretty hard to imagine BMW selling a car slotted well below the 1-Series for the same price as a 535i Sedan.

After requesting clarification, a BMW spokesperson replied by e-mail, saying, "There are no plans to develop a Micro Car competing with the Tata Nano. Currently, BMW is thinking within a special project about several different ways and opportunities for the future mobility, but it's far too early to comment on any details, neither the size of these different concepts nor engine, price or anything like that."

The tiny Tata Nano squeezes four people into a car that retails for about $2,500. GM is supposedly working on a similar project in a Chinese joint venture. Their car would cost around $3,500. Toyota has recently hinted at entering the Micro Car Wars after announcing a huge expansion of their Bangalore, India, plant.

Kronschnabl spoke at an event marking the launch of the BMW M3 in the Indian market. After selling almost 1,400 units in India last year, BMW has authorized the increase of local production there to 3,000 units - a 76% increase. Of the BMW vehicles sold in India last year, 80% were locally made 3- and 5-series models.

In addition to the M3, BMW plans to further market the 6- and 7-series, the X3, X5, the 6 and 7 Individual Series, and other M models, according to a BMW statement released last month.

Tata Interested in Ferrari Stake

Not a week goes by without mention of Tata Motors in media. Fortunately it is all good news for the India-based conglomerate. Currently finalizing its pending purchase of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, Tata is now hoping to add another European feather on its cap. Ferrari.

Tata chairman Ratan Tata admitted he would like to buy into Ferrari in L’Espresso, an Italian weekly news magazine.
“I have two passions in my life,” he is quoted, “cars and aircraft. I have always dreamed of being able to be a fighter pilot. And I confirm the wish to participate in Ferrari's shareholding
“[Fiat and Ferrari chairman] Luca di Montezemolo has invited me to look around in Italy because his country offers a lot of opportunities in the design and luxury sectors."

Fiat and Tata Motor have an alliance in India, while Ratan Tata is a board member of Fiat. Very soon the cheap-as-dust Nano will be launched for sale in India, with rollouts planned for much of the rest of the world. Slowly but surely Tata is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the auto industry and may end up the Toyota of India. It’s possible.

Tata to Take Jaguar F-Type into Production

Jaguar’s new parent-to-be, Tata, seems to have some great plans at hand; ahead of the much anticipated take-over that is expected within the next two weeks.

Tata Group Chairman, Ratan Tata, recently revealed that the company is intending to take the long-forgotten Jaguar F-Type concept into production। The F-Type concept was unveiled at the 2000 North American International Auto Show.

From what we can see, Jaguar has been moderately refreshing some of its models in the recent months। In addition to this, the XJ sedan will receive a facelift soon, subsequently followed by the production of the F-Type and XF coupe. Jaguar also has plans for a four-door XK and a crossover SUV in the near future.

The funding for Jaguar’s new models and facelifts is included in the due diligence process of the Tata Group, so getting the F-Type into production will not be far-fetched after all.
