Tata used 1.2-litre turbo-petrol GDi manual variant of the Curvv which makes 125 PS and 225 Nm to pull this aircraft
Cars pulling trucks, trains, and planes — it's not exactly a rare sight, right? But have you ever seen a car with a small 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder engine taking on the challenge? Tata just turned that idea into reality with its recently launched Curvv, where the Curvv SUV-coupe manages to pull a massive Boeing 737 aircraft effortlessly. You can check it out in a video here:
The Curvv used for this feat was powered by Tata’s new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol GDi (direct injection) engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It successfully pulled a heavy 48,000 kg aircraft for 100 meters, earning its place in the India Book of Records. This isn't the first time Tata has attempted such a feat; the automaker also pulled the same aircraft type with the Tata Hexa in March 2017.
