Chinkara cars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


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 at Alibhag near Mumbai, India.

It is the only car currently (2007) available on the Indian market which is a roadster. The closest car that one can think about is the San Storm from San Motors but that is a convertible, and not a true roadster.

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