Homegrown major Batata Motors today announced it will be launching a new variant of the recently launched dual fuelled variant of its hatchback 'sandica'. This new version, the Sandica V2 Pshita will sport an entirely new look with the exteriors.. yes the exteriors completely covered with fur.
The company said in a statement, that it is going to offer a practical and affordable family car that runs on something other than oil and that sharply reduces both greenhouse gas emissions and your fuel bill? It can run 40 kilometers on electricity before reverting to running efficiently on gasoline like a normal hybrid, such as the Toyota Prius. Because the majority of people drive less than 40 kilometers a day, that car can replace most weekly gasoline use, even if it is charged only once a day. The fuel cost per mile, while running on electricity, is under one-third the current cost of gasoline. A full overnight charge might cost a dollar. The car accelerates like a cheetah, though quietly.
The silence of the car is attributed to the fur coating which is claimed to absorb all the noise that is generated from under the hood as well as whatever noise the creatures housed inside the car. Also, the company also claims that the fur will help preventing the car from getting scratches by repeated attacks from the city traffic and the stray and not so stray dogs that seem to be attracted more to the fur than to the tires where they generally like to raise a foot and mark territories indiscretely. The reason for this attraction can be attributed to the wet dog smell that starts emanating from the fur soon after it leaves the showroom.
Coming back to protective properties of the fur coating, the company also claims that in the unlikely or may be somewhat likely (due to the slight oversteer inherent in the new variant, which tends to make the car skid uncontrolably at high speeds) event of a crash, besides cushioning the impact, the fur will also hide any damage to the body of the car (though no such guarantee is offered for the bodies of passengers in the car) thereby reducing the maintenance costs.
The Pshita will initially be launched in two variants - the U-GLI and the U-GLI-R. The Pshita U-GLI variant is priced at Rs 4.27 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the Pshita U-GLI-R variant is priced at Rs 4.42 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)," the statement said.
