AuricTech commented on Tata Nano To Get Two-Cylinder Turbo-Diesel Power, Bajillion Miles Per Gallon

"@pryndyl: Forgive me for what you might consider heresy, but I have reason for what I will now say: The 'Busa is too much for the Nano. It's not the power of the 'Busa engine, but its size (1340cc I-4), that is likely to make a Nanobusa unachievable. Fortunately, Suzuki has provided us with a suitably small substitute that is much more likely to fit in the Nano's engine bay: the 599cc, 123 bhp-rated GSX-R600's I-4 engine (MY2006-2007)."
