Roadster 1.8S

Chinkara Cars is a Mumbai-based firm, which has developed a two-seater Sports Car for Indian roads called the Chinkara Roadster 1.8S. The car has been developed indigenously by a husband-wife team in India at Alibhag near Mumbai (INDIA).

It is the only car available in the market right now which is a roadster. There is no other car in India which can satisfy your craving for the perfect wind-in-the-hair motoring. The closest car that one can think about is the San Storm from San Motors. But then, its a convertible, and not a true blue roadster.

For the price of any new mid-size car, now you can have a car that will make everyone on the street stand and stare at you.

This car, as it is manufactured out of locally made components, can be easily repaired by any roadside mechanic on the streets of India.
