Tata Motors, in partnership with Coimbatore-based Jayem Automotives, has showcased the Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP at the ongoing Auto Expo 2018. The new models are basically performance-tuned variants of the Tiago hatchback and the Tigor compact sedan. The ‘JTP’ in the suffix is an acronym for ‘Jayem Tata Performance’. Both the models carry a host of performance updates along with a set of visual enhancements to set the duo apart from the regular versions. Visual updates include new bumpers with larger airdams, smoked headlamps, and gloss black treatment for the grille.

This engine outputs a maximum power of 110 PS along with a peak torque of 150 Nm. The six-speed manual transmission gets updated gear ratios to enable faster acceleration.
