Geneva Motor Show: Tata Bolt gets a sporty avatar

Tata Motors unveiled a performance oriented variant of its latest hatchback, Tata Bolt, at the Geneva Motor Show. The Bolt Sport, as it is called, is still in concept form with no set date as to when it will enter production.

To make the Bolt more sporty, a number of changes have been made under the hood. A larger turbocharger, combined with a high-flow exhaust system ekes out more power from its 1.2 Petrol engine. How much? Precisely 120 bhp.

To complement the engine enhancements, Tata has installed a track-tuned suspension system and higher-performance brake update kit. Further, the suspension kit lowers the ride height for sportier handling and stance.

A performance car would be incomplete without specialised tyres. Fortunately, Tata ticked this item as well with 17-inch bespoke wheels.

The sporty flavour is evident with additional body kit, which includes front bumper with air dam, rear bumper with diffuser styling, side skirts, and a sun roof. The interior is spruced up with sporty black leather upholstery with contrasting red stitching, enhanced dashboard, a leather wrapped steering wheel, gear shift boot with stitch detail, and sport pedal extensions.
