The San Storm is a two-seat Roadster from San Motors India LTD. of India that was introduced in 1998. It was designed by the French firm, Le Mans Group. It is powered by a 1149 cc Renault D7F engine driving the front wheels giving 600NaN0 and a top speed of 1440NaN0. It has a double-skinned, fibreglass-reinforced tubular steel body and chassis, and the weight is only 7600NaN0 giving it a quite satisfactory power-to-weight ratio. The time from 0 to 1000NaN0 is given as 13 seconds. The San Storm is assembled in Bangalore while the engine is mated to the bodywork in Goa.[1]
In the early 2000s, the Reliant motor company of the United Kingdom began to concentrate on importing "speciality" vehicles rather than its traditional business designing and manufacturing a range of small (often three-wheeler) cars. As well as a number of "light vehicles" made by Piaggio and Ligier, the firm had plans to import the Storm and its cabriolet sister car. However, even though the company had start dates for the importation of these cars, the plan never came to fruition.
The convertible version of the Storm has been imported into the UK and sold by Dream Machines, a company based in Heathfield, East Sussex.
This subcompact car was available with different comfort and safety features like power window, power steering, child safety locks, front fog lights, rear defogger, leather seats, etc. This car comes with the luxury of air-conditioner.
