Mumbai, May 28: Tata Motors will launch the much-awaited Altroz Racer performance hatchback in India next month. To keep the excitement going, the homegrown automaker has dropped the first teaser of the hot hatch ahead of its launch. The carmaker could open order books for the car in the coming days. For the uninitiated, the Altroz Racer is a performance version of the standard Altroz hatchback based on the ALFA architecture. It will get a race car design highlighted by a dual-tone exterior colour with dual white racing stripes running across the bonnet.

The first teaser gives a partial glimpse of the profile of the upcoming Altroz Racer donning an orange shade, which could be the launch shade we reckon. However, the model showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo and 2024 Bharat Mobility Show featured red and black exterior paint with dual racing stripes. Apart from this, the teaser also reveals a black-coloured rear spoiler and 4-spoke alloy wheels.

On the inside, the Altroz Racer will sport a granite black theme with red accents accentuating the overall appeal of the cabin. Feature-wise, Tata Motors could equip the car with a large touchscreen infotainment panel, digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, 6-airbags, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, a sunroof, wireless charger, rear AC vents and more.
The powertrain will be the major highlight of the Tata Altroz Racer. The hot hatchback will draw power from a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol mill paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The mill will be tuned to generate a maximum power of 118 bhp at 5,000 rpm with a peak torque of 170 Nm at 1750 to 4000 rpm.
