clown car?

"India's Tata Motors unveils $2,500 car"
India's Tata Motors on Thursday unveiled the world's cheapest car, bringing new mobility within the reach of tens of millions of people and nightmares to environmentalists, traffic engineers and safety advocates.

while this idea doesn't seem to be going over too well... tata motors does have another concept car that is quite interesting... the air car! the world's first commercial air-powered vehicle!

it's a relatively whopping $12,700 (5 nanos!!!) but it only take a couple minutes and $2 to fuel up at special compressor units or it can be electically powered in 4 hours by plugging in. top speed of 68 mph and a range of 125 miles. and curiously has an "all glue construction"... don't know what that means but it sounds shady...
