Geneva Motor Show: Tata Motors unveils ‘connected car’ TAMO Racemo

[P@nThEr]

On day one of the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday, Tata Motors pulled the wraps off TAMO Racemo, a concept sports car that can zoom from 0 to 100 kmph in under 6 seconds.

The TAMO Racemo is a low-slung sports concept built on a patented MOFlex Multi-Material Sandwich (MMS) structure, a modular platform on which the automaker can design cars across all segments.

Though TAMO did not reveal the technical specifications of the car or its production status, Racemo is claimed to generate a maximum power of 190PS @ 6500rpm and 210NM @ 2500rpm.

Launching the concept in two variants -- the Racemo and the Racemo Plus, Tata Motors CEO and managing director Guenter Butschek said, “We’re going beyond the borders of India, and here we’re presenting to the future of mobility.”

At its 602 square-metre pavilion, Tata Motors also displayed its upcoming Tiago-based compact sedan Tigor, and a compact SUV Nexon at the show, which were also showcased at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016.

Butschek said Tigor, which it boasts to be India’s first ‘styleback’, will be on the roads of India in 22 days.

Tata Motors, India’s largest carmaker by revenue, has developed a driver assistance interface for the TAMO concept in partnership with Microsoft, much on the lines of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The TAMO Racemo car will also be available on an interactive gaming platform in Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 3.

Tata Motors says the sub-brand TAMO is an open platform for innovators to develop “transportation for the future”. It is a separated vertical, which will initially operate on a low volume, low investment model for fast-tracked development of technologies and concepts.

190 hp is a big disappointment. It should have over 300. Very underpowered imho.

Will have to see how much it weighs in the end. HP/weight is more important than raw HP total.

Lotus (even when they were new kids on the block) will tell you why

Don't pay any heed to the interior concept either....looks like a bad photoshop job. Lets wait for what actual end production looks like.

Yes but R8s and Ferraris look good from the inside

Hopefully it's good. We need to show the world we've arrived.

Looks like it will be competing in the lotus-size market. Its a good place to start if you ask me, given you can quickly fix issues and gain experience given the market is more accessible compared to higher performance/ultra-performance.

it will make it into production. 2018 jan it will be showcased in Delhi Auto show. May be 2018 end will hit the road.

First it is a clam not an official source + its 190PS ( not that it make any difference ) and IMP its a CONCEPT - so lets see

It is going to have 1.2L revetron petrol engine tuned to 190PS. The output is not bad. That said it is still a puny engine compared other sports cars that have over 3L V6 or V8 engines. Tata should have built a decent 6 cylinder, 2L+ engine before trying their hand at building a sports car.

Actually, I think it'll look pretty good in production form. This is only a over done concept.

Bro, what of the futuro? Nvm, same thing.

• The Tata Futuro will use lightweight body construction, which could be a mix of both, carbon-fibre and aluminium along with new technologies and innovations.
• The Futuro will be based on the flexible Advanced Modular Platform (AMP) to reduce the overall weight and will weigh around 700 kg.
• Futuro to be powered by a mid-mounted 1.2 Revotron turbocharged engine which will be tuned to produce power figures between 150 hp and 180 hp.
• Expected to be priced around Rs 25 lakh.
• The Tata Futuro is a two-seater sportscar and will be produced in limited numbers, 250 units initially.
