India's first homegrown sportscar, the DC Avanti will be formally launched on April 15, this month. The car was unveiled at the 2014 New Delhi Auto Expo in near production form and since then nationwide testing has been done by leading Auto publications of the production version in the public domain while the car was awaiting homologation by ARAI.
The Avanti is powered by a mid-engined 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine capable of 250 hp and 360 Nm of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels. DC claims the Avanti will do 0-100 km/h in under 8 seconds.
The Avanti's body is made from a carbon composite, and features a spaceframe construction. DC claims a kerb weight of 1,580 kg. With a double wishbone suspension setup for the front and rear, the sportscar has a ground clearance of 170 mm.
The Avanti measures 4,550 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width, 1,200 mm in height and 2,700 mm in wheelbase. The car is shod with 255/35 tyres at the front and meatier 295/30 tyres at the rear, on 20-inch rims.
Though the launch is reportedly scheduled for April 15, the first batch of 500 cars is sold out.
