San Motors was an Indian car manufacturer that launched a budget convertible sportscar - the San Storm in 2001. Designed by the Le Mans Group of France, the San Storm was a two-seater convertible that was introduced at a price of just Rs. 5.3 lakh. However, no one really noticed the sportscar post its launch, owing to the unfamiliar brand name and poor marketing. The Storm was powered by a Renault-sourced 1.2-litre petrol engine that developed just over 60PS. Needless to say, the convertible didn't quite tick the right boxes in the performance department, with a 0-100kmph time of around 11 seconds. The company closed operations in 2013 due to mounting losses.The San Motors brand was on sale in India. It’s famous for its San Motors Storm models. The manufacturer 5.95 Lakh. There is no official word from the manufacturer on its re-entry into the Indian market.
