Filed under: Aftermarket, India, Tata, Specialty DC Designs Tata Nano - Click above for image gallery DC Designs came out swinging at this week's Auto Expo 2010, and in addition to revealing its Imperator and Ying Yang concepts, the Mumbai-based firm's namesake - Dilip Chhabaria - revealed plans to produce a bespoke Tata Nano that's set to cost... wait for it... 10 million rupee. That's $220,000. How could Chhabari possibly inflate the price of the Nano by some $198,000? According to reports coming out New Delhi, DC plans to completely overhaul the budget runabout, replacing all the body panels, brakes, suspension and interior components, along with fitting 20-inch wheels and replacing the 33 horsepower, 624cc engine with a 1.6-liter mill that's able to propel the five-seat hatch to a maximum speed of 124 mph.

I know this because I’ve seldom felt evil breathing down my neck the way I did while watching this wackadoodle Japanese spoof

Guess it was lost in translation. Brad Pitt's manager tells Usmagazine.com he never slammed Tom Cruise's nazi flick. A German magazine, Stern, quoted the Inglourious Basterds star calling Cruise's Valkyrie "a ridiculous movie." See more Hollywood fights! But Pitt's manager claims: "Brad has never seen VALKYRIE so this is NOT accurate." This wouldn't have been the first time Pitt has...
