JT Special Vehicles (JTSV), a 50:50 Joint Venture between Tata Motors and Jayem Automotives, has announced the launch of the newly upgraded JTP twins – The Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP.
Built for passionate petrolheads across the nation, the JTP brand has stayed true to its ethos of being a “Racer At Heart”. Adding to the joy of enthusiasts, these cars will come with new = features that are set to add to the sporty feel, performance and comfort value of the vehicles.
Available at a price of INR.6.69 Lakh for the Tiago JTP and INR.7.59 Lakh for the Tigor JTP (ex-showroom, Delhi), these cars will be sold at select Tata Motors dealership.
On the exterior, both cars get stylish contrast coloured auto fold outside mirrors, which help in enhancing the sporty feel. Additionally, the Tigor JTP gets a piano black shark fin antenna to accentuate its looks further.
On the inside, comfort and entertainment levels are bound to rise with the fully automatic temperature control mechanism and the ConnectNext 7-inch touch screen entertainment by Harman with Android Auto and Apple Carplay apps based on customer demand.
The cars remain mechanically the same. Both the models are powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. This motor produces 114 PS @ 5,000 rpm and 150 Nm @ 1,800-4,500 rpm.
The twin-barrel exhaust system of the cars has been tuned to offer a sportier sound. The engine cover also gets JTP branding along with racetrack graphics.
The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission which has been tuned for better performance and compared to the regular model it gets different gear ratio and final drive ratio to offer better acceleration.
The Tata Tiago JTP & Tata Tigor JTP also get Sport and City drive modes. The Tiago JTP is said to be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.95-seconds, while the Tigor JTP does the same in 10.38 seconds.
Both cars also run on specially tuned suspension dampers. To improve the driving dynamics further, the steering system has been retuned. Compared to the normal variants the cars are lowered by 4 mm.
They are also fitted with wider tyres of size 185/60 on the sporty-looking 15-inch alloy wheels. Brake setup remains the same as the regular models but due to the updated tyres and the tuned suspension, the braking distance has reduced.
