Hope the Points mentioned above are clear to all. However I would like to give some clarity on some of the points mentioned above.
· Engine Capacity – Higher the engine capacity of cylinder higher the output power
· Compression ration and Power to weight ratio – more or less similar. Both specify the pulling power of the cars.
· Tyres: Nano has smaller tyres in the front which assures good turning radius and swifter driving in city traffic conditions. Also the broader the rear tyres ensure stability at high speeds. M800 has same set of tyres in front and back which would cause over steering very easily.
Conclusion: The points portrayed speak only about the points in which Nano beats M800; it doesn’t means that Nano is better than M800 in all means. In short, both are best in their own way.
Cheers
