Two things I spot: - how do you get out of the front if the back doors are open? - how are they possibly going to safely contain air under enough pressure to power this vehicle for any distance at all? And pertinent to that last point, what exactly are the safety implicatons of that much air being released suddenly in the case of tank failure or accident? It has to be much more than "a loud bang".

There has to be some kind of safety regulation that would see this car never makes it on european roads. In case of an emergency the front passengers have to wait for the rear to leave and vice versa. Pretty retarded if you ask me.

lol at radmeister, thats true. i'm sorry but Tata aren't a well established brand, i'm surprised they're not bankrupt. Air-powered car ey? imagine the engine noise! none, what a crap idea. this car would break up families as well, the kids and parents would spend the whole journey abot which of them would get out first. Not a clever idea. Just go buy a peugeot 1007 is you want slidng doors on a small car. oh and the 1007 actually runs on fuel and an engine (noise please)

If the rear doors are sliding on a track that is in in the front doors, the front doors can open when the rear doors are open. Tata is a very well established brand that has a huge history in India. The 96 operating companies of the Tata Group operate in seven different business sectors: information systems and communications, engineering, materials, services, energy, consumer products and chemicals. Tata has huge financial backing based on all of these sectors. To say Tata should be bankrupt is a naive comment.
