The Bolt Sport, as the name suggests, is the sporty version of the Tata Bolt. Unveiled at the ongoing Geneva motor show, the Bolt Sport features a 120bhp motor and a host of cosmetic changes to the interior and exterior.
The car is powered by the same 1.2-litre REVOTRON petrol engine, but power has been boosted to 120bhp and 17.33kgm of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The engine now comes with a remapped ECU and a high-flow exhaust system to achieve the boost in power. The car also receives tweaked gear ratios to enhance the engine’s responsiveness. Tata has equipped the Bolt Sport with disc-brakes all round, along with a sportier suspension which gives the car a lower stance.
The Bolt Sport’s front features a less rounded bumper with a prominent lower lip and airdams, along with darkened projector headlamps and 17-inch split-six-spoke alloy wheels to enhance the sporty look. On the sides, the car features dedicated air vents on the front fender and a side skirt, while at the rear it receives a new bumper with diffuser styling and a brushed aluminium strip above the number plate.
On the inside, the Bolt Sport comes with black leather interiors with red contrast stitching and red inserts. The car gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear-shift knob with sport pedals. There’s a sunroof too, along with a Harman infotainment system with voice recognition and SMS readout option. Also on offer is the three-drive mode Multidrive system, as seen in all Bolts.
In the safety department, the car receives dual front airbags, ABS and Corner Stability Control.
