DC Design reveals India's first production sports car

DC design has released a production ready sports car at the Auto Expo in New Delhi, a first for both the company and nation. As one of India’s leading automotive design houses, the company has been involved in design and construction of bespoke makeovers for a variety of models, ranging from the budget Tata Nano to luxury SUV Porsche Cayenne.  

In the press release, the company affirms production plans for the Avanti, scheduled to start next year. Engine is a force-induced 2.0 litre EcoBoost four-cylinder from Ford, featuring direct-injection and variable valve-timing technologies. A more powerful Honda-sourced V6 will join the lineup later.

With accelerated growth in India’s market for high end automobile in the recent years, DC aims to produce at least 300 units of the Avanti in the first two years, and increase annual production to 4-figures if conditions are right. Moreover, Avanti’s emission quality is complaint to Euro 4 and 5 standards, meaning the car is ready for the export market. Expect more bespoke options and variants in the coming years.
