Tata has ventured out into a lot of departments in recent years.

The newest one being the electric cars with the Nexon EV. However, Tata had also strayed into the performance-oriented department. The cars it has in these departments are the Tiago and the Tigor. Tata collaborated with a company called Jayem auto and thus the partnership was born. The company was called JTP and it changed the dynamics of Tata cars to have an appeal for enthusiasts. We take a closer look at the Tata Tigor JTP below.

The Tata Tigor JTP looks a lot different than the regular Tigor. It comes with a new front end design that includes a large trapezoidal lower grille, dual-chamber projector headlamps, bonnet and fender vents, wider 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and side skirts for a dynamic side profile.

It also gets contrast coloured auto-fold outside mirrors, a dual-tone colour scheme, glossy black roof, sporty twin-barrel exhaust, piano black shark fin antenna and rear spoiler.
