Tata Motors’ pavilion at 2018 Auto Expo is surely one of the most happening ones. The home-grown carmaker has shown its brand new premium hatchback and two new SUVs along with six electric vehicles and 26 smart mobility solutions. The performance zone of the carmaker has also grabbed attention – thanks to the TaMo RaceMo, Tigor Sport and Tiago Sport. Tata’s first ever sportscar – Tamo Racemo has finally made its India debut at the Expo. Touted to be the first model under Tata’s sub-brand TaMo, the mid-engined sports coupe had its world debut at the 87th Geneva Motor Show. Appreciated for its sporty design, the Racemo crowed with the German Design Award (GDA) in the Gold category for International Excellence in ‘Exceptional Product Design’ in October, 2018.
Tata’s Tamo RaceMo would be India’s first connected car with advanced in-cabin connectivity features developed by Microsoft India. The sports-car brims with lots of high-tech features such as an advanced navigation, predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and over-the-air updates built on Microsoft’s cloud-based technologies. There are three screens in the instrument area to connect with these technologies. Just so you know, Tata Motors entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft India in February last year, soon after introducing TaMo sub-brand. For people not in the know, Tata Motors shelved the Racemo’s production plan due to its high production cost. It had certainly broke million of Indian hearts that were waiting for the vehicle.
